For a while, it looked as though we might be in for a great battle for the Formula 1 World Championship, but over the last few races, we have seen a gap start to open at the top, as 2-time defending champion Max Verstappen is once again starting to open up a lead. There are, though, still plenty of races to come this season, but the chasing pack needs to start winning some races if we are to see the championship race stay close until the end of the season. The future starts this weekend with the Canadian Grand Prix, and while we are always unbiased in out picks, it would be good to see one of the chasing drivers get a win to keep things interesting. Let’s take a look at the current F1 odds.

When: Sunday, June 18 at 2:00 pm ET
Where: Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
TV / Streaming: ABC
Max Verstappen
Like we said at the top of this piece, Verstappen is beginning to assert his dominance once again, as he has now won each of the last 3 races. The driver standings, which were tight up until a few weeks ago, now look very different, with Verstappen opening up a 53-point lead at the top. He has now won 5 of the 7 races this season, finishing 2nd in the other two, so you have to feel that the chances of Verstappen going into a slump seem pretty slim at this point. Verstappen won in Canada last season, so the chances of a repeat seem pretty good.
Betting Pick: -297 | Bet Max Verstappen to Win Today

Sergio Perez
With Perez winning a couple of races in the early part of the season, the feeling was that he might be able to press his Red Bull Racing teammate all the way to the end. There were some concerns as to whether he could maintain that early pace, and those concerns have proven to be true. Perez ended up finishing 16th in Monaco, which he followed with a 4th place finish in the last race, both of which Verstappen won to increase his lead at the top. Perez was forced to retire in Canada last season, but I think he could be top 3 this weekend.
Betting Pick: +510 | Bet Sergio Perez to Win Today

Lewis Hamilton
It would seem that the days of Hamilton challenging for a World Championship are in the past. As he is now on an extended run where he has failed to win a race. Hamilton, for the first time in his career, failed to win a race in a full season in 2022. He is in the same position this season, failing to pick up a win, but he does have a couple of podium finishes this year, including a 2nd place finish in Spain in the previous grand prix. Hamilton finished in 3rd in Canada last season, so a podium finish might be the way to play here.
Betting Pick: +1050 | Bet Lewis Hamilton to Win Today

Fernando Alonso
It has been a great return to form in 2023 for former World Champion Alonso, although that form has not translated into wins just yet. Alonso, though, has been on the podium in 5 of the 7 races this season, so while he is certainly a longshot to win this weekend, he is not a bad bet for a top 3 finish. Alonso was top 10 in Canada last season, but given his form, I believe we can expect better this time around.
Betting Pick: +1375 | Bet Fernando Alonso to Win Today
