In Formula 1 sports betting, the market “Fastest Lap – Teams” refers to which team will set the fastest lap time during the race.
What It Means
You’re betting on the team, not the driver, that will record the fastest single lap in the race.
Example of Teams You Might See:
- Red Bull Racing
- Mercedes
- Ferrari
- McLaren
- Aston Martin
- Alpine
How It’s Calculated:
- Only race laps count (not qualifying).
- The fastest single lap by any of the team’s drivers determines the outcome.
- It doesn’t matter where the car finishes—just who sets the fastest lap.
Betting Tips:
- Teams like Red Bull or Mercedes often perform well.
- Drivers with a late pit stop for fresh tyres often go for fastest lap.
- Teams with strong tyre strategy may have an advantage.
Example Bet:
“Fastest Lap – Team: Ferrari”
If either Charles Leclerc or Carlos Sainz sets the fastest race lap, your bet wins.
