Formula 1 racing is very much a global sport, although you have to say that its popularity is not quite as big as it is in Europe and other parts of the world. American fans will get a shot at seeing the cars and drivers up close and personal this weekend, though, with F1 heading stateside for the Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. Heading into this season, there was a concern that we were going to see another lopsided championship race like we did last year, when Max Verstappen had it all locked up with plenty of races to spare. Sergio Perez is making things interesting this time around, and while it’s a bit of a Red Bull Racing domination, it is still good to see a pair of drivers battle it out for top spot. How will the standings look after this weekend? Only time will tell, but let’s take a look at the current Formula 1 odds.

Formula 1 Picks and Analysis: Miami Grand Prix 2023 | F1 Odds

When: Sunday, May 7 at 3:25 pm ET
Where: Miami, USA
TV / Streaming: ABC, ESPN+

Max Verstappen

After a wild weekend in Azerbaijan, the lead at the top for Verstappen is down to just 6 points. Oddly enough, Verstappen is off to a very similar start to last season, winning 2 of the first 4 races of the year. It was at this stage of the 2022 season that he went on a tear, starting with a win in Miami and culminating in 13 wins over 18 races. Whether or not that happens again this season remains to be seen, but having won in Miami last year, there is a very good reason why Verstappen is the clear favorite to win again this weekend.

Sergio Perez

No matter what sport you are talking about, it’s always important to look for trends when it comes time to wager. There is a very definite trend emerging with Perez in that 5 of his 6 wins during his time with F1 have come on road courses. Until he can consistently win on traditional tracks, you do have to wonder if he can continue to keep the pressure on his teammate all the way to the end. The move to Red Bull has proven to be an excellent move for Perez, who finished 3rd overall last season, his best finish in F1. He ran 4th in Miami last season, but I expect a podium finish this time around.

Charles Leclerc

2022 was a great year for Leclerc, who finished 2nd overall, his best showing in Formula 1. Things have not been as good this season, though, as he has failed to finish 2 of the 4 races to this point, while landing on the podium just once thus far. It’s still much too early in the season to declare him out of the championship race, but he does need a good showing this weekend. Given that he was 2nd in Miami last year, so every reason to believe he might do well on Sunday.

Fernando Alonso

Alonso is a veteran of the F1 circuit, winning back-to-back world championships in 2005 and 2006. He hasn’t really been that competitive over the past decade or so, but he has rolled back the clock this year, starting the season with 3 consecutive podium finishes. If he is serious about challenging for the top spot, he needs to turn some of those into wins. He failed to crack the top 10 last season, but I think he is a good top 5 bet this weekend.

Betting Pick: +1300 | Bet Fernando Alonso to Win Today
