George Russell justified our confidence when getting off to a flying start in Melbourne , and we’re sticking with the British ace in this week’s Chinese Grand Prix predictions.
Mercedes had made a big impression during testing and confirmed they had adjusted best to rigorous new regulations as Russell prevailed over Kimi Antonelli in a one-two for the Brackley -based team.
Italian teenager Antonelli clearly has a bright future, but for now, it is easy to see why proven performer Russell is a red-hot favourite at 8/11 in the Chinese Grand Prix odds.

Ferrari Look Best of the Rest Right Now
Russell was tested early on in Australia during a yo-yo battle with fast-starting Charles Leclerc of Ferrari , but ultimately took control for a convincing victory.“It was a hell of a fight at the beginning,” said the 28-year-old. “I had some really tight battles with Charles , so I was glad to cross the finish line. It’s been a long time coming to have this car beneath us.” An all-too-familiar strategy blunder proved costly for Ferrari , but they will take heart from Leclerc’s podium finish and an improved fourth-place showing by Lewis Hamilton.
“There are lots of positives to take,” commented Hamilton, whose struggles in his first season in red were well documented. “A couple of more laps and I would have had Charles , so I know we can be fighting for podiums. “We’re not as fast as Mercedes , but we’re right in the fight. We’ve got a lot of work to do to catch them, but it’s not impossible. ”Seven-time world champion Hamilton is 15/2 to prevail at the Shanghai International Circuit , where he has won on a record six occasions, and can be backed at 5/4 to make the top three.

Mad Max Slams New Setup.
Despite an impressive fightback from 20th to sixth in the season opener, Max Verstappen could not hide his frustration at the sweeping rule changes introduced this term. The Red Bull ace blasted: “If you enjoy that, then okay, but that’s what I do at home when I play Mario Kart. For me, I didn’t enjoy the way we raced. It is not really proper.” Verstappen is 9/1 to prevail this Sunday, while punters can get 28/1 for current world champion Lando Norris after the McLaren driver called the racing “very artificial” following his fifth in Melbourne .
Isack Hadjar was forced to retire on lap 11 of his debut for Red Bull due to an engine issue, but the young Frenchman impressed in qualifying when third fastest behind the Mercedes duo. Those looking for a value option from the Chinese Grand Prix odds may be tempted by an each-way punt at 8/1 for him to again shine during Saturday’s fight for grid placings.
