Max Verstappen's odds are getting absurd. And it's only the third weekend of the 2023 Formula 1 season.
JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA - MARCH 19: Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB19. on track during the F1 Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia at Jeddah Corniche Circuit on March 19, 2023 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Max Verstappen’s odds are getting absurd. And it’s only the third weekend of the 2023 Formula 1 season. following Red Bull's wins over the first two races of the season.
Verstappen was the favorite ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and it’s easy to envision him easily winning the race if qualifying was straightforward. But Verstappen had an engine issue in the second round of qualifying that relegated him to 15th on the grid as teammate Sergio Perez was too far ahead by the time Verstappen worked his way to second.
As you can imagine, Perez is the only driver close to Verstappen on the board. Perez is +450 to win the race, +300 to win the pole and +350 to post the fastest lap in the first practice. Verstappen is -120 to win first practice and -225 to win the pole. Our advice to you — and to ourselves so we can start to look smart — is to keep betting Red Bull drivers until proven otherwise. With approximately 70% of the lap spent at full-throttle, the Red Bull speed advantage should continue to be apparent.Max Verstappen to win the race
We’re going to bank on Verstappen not having mechanical issues in qualifying for a second-straight race.Like Verstappen, Perez has finished in the top two in each of the first two races this season and we aren’t sure anyone will be able to jump ahead of either Red Bull driver without some issues for Red Bull.Verstappen was consistently faster than Perez in the buildup to the race in Saudi Arabia and likely would have grabbed the pole if he wasn’t for that engine problem.
