“Nationality of Winner” in Formula 1 sports betting refers to a bet on the nationality of the driver who will win a specific race, the championship, or another event (like qualifying or fastest lap).
How It Works:
Instead of betting on a specific driver (like Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton), you bet on the country the winning driver represents.
Example Options:
For a Grand Prix race, the bookmaker might offer:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dutch | A Dutch driver (e.g. Verstappen) wins |
| British | A British driver (e.g. Hamilton, Norris) wins |
| Spanish | A Spanish driver (e.g. Alonso, Sainz) wins |
| Monegasque | A Monegasque driver (e.g. Leclerc) wins |
| Other Nationality | Any driver not from the listed countries wins |
Key Points to Know:
- This bet ignores which team the driver races for (Red Bull, Ferrari, etc.).
- It’s solely based on the driver’s official nationality registered with the FIA.
- You win the bet if a driver from the selected nationality wins the event.
Example Bet:
You place:
- ₦5,000 on “Dutch” to win the Belgian GP.
- Max Verstappen (Dutch) wins the race.
- You bet wins.
