Recent car upgrades appear to have paid off for Mercedes, which had a double podium finish from Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in Spain. They will be hoping to carry that momentum into the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. However, Max Verstappen was still too much to handle, finishing ahead of Hamilton and Russell. The Red Bull Racing driver, who won this race last year, is the -275 favorite (risk $275 to win $100) in the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix odds at Caesars Sportsbook.
Teammate Sergio Perez is second on the F1 odds board at 5-1, while Hamilton is 11-1. Which drivers should you target with your 2023 Canadian Grand Prix bets?

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary Formula 1 prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.

The model has been scorching hot when it comes to picking Formula 1 race events dating back to 2021.

The result: Verstappen dominated the field and ran away with a surprise victory.
The model followed that up by calling Verstappen's win at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April and then nailed his wins again in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, the United States, Mexico and Abu Dhabi. It's also nailed Verstappen's wins in Bahrain, Australia, Miami, Monaco and Spain this season. Anyone who followed the model's lead on those plays has seen huge returns

Top 2023 Formula 1 Canadian GP predictions
One massive shocker: The model is high on Fernando Alonso even though he's the fourth favorite at 12-1 and coming off his worst finish of the season (t-7th) in Spain. He has enjoyed an excellent start to his debut campaign with the Silverstone-based Aston Martin, finishing on the podium in five of the first seven races of the season. Alonso sits third in the championship standings with 99 points, even after his disappointing finish in Barcelona.
His best result came in Monaco when he finished in second place, but the team is ready to make the leap to winning a race. The two-time world champion has shown glimpses of his former self during his first year with Aston Martin, and he won the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix. His current form and past success at this track make him a valuable driver to include in 2023 Canadian Grand Prix picks. See who else the model is backing and who it is fading right here.
