Can Anyone Stop Mercedes? The 2020 Formula One season is finally underway, but Mercedes may have already sewn things up after dominating last week’s Austrian Grand Prix with a controversial new steering system Bet on auto racing at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

Odds for Sunday’s race are pending at press time, as everyone tries to digest what happened in the opening race. Teams have made a number of changes to their vehicles during the coronavirus shutdown; Mercedes unveiled a new dual-axis steering system, or DAS, that no other team has – and was declared legal after Red Bull’s protest of Bottas’s victory was rejected.

The ruling was a major coup for Mercedes and reigning F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, who crossed the finish line second behind Bottas at the Austrian Grand Prix, but was assessed a time penalty and relegated to fourth place. Hamilton is the –164 favorite to defend his title in what will be a shortened 2020 season, with Bottas in second at +225 @ Bovada. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) are tied for third at +1000 @ Bovada.
