2022 Singapore Grand Prix Sleeper Picks

By Jeff Stinger

After a three-year no-show from the Formula 1 calendar, the Singapore Grand Prix makes its way back this weekend. The scenic race around the Marina Bay Street Circuit under the lights is one of the year’s most anticipated events. High heat and humidity will mix things up and play a crucial role in the race. These circumstances make for a more unpredictable two-hour race, giving sleepers better chances of making it to the front. With all that, Nitrobetting looks at the top 2022 Singapore Grand Prix Sleeper Picks.

Esteban Ocon

    2022 Singapore Grand Prix Odds: +12500

Ocon was riding a five-race streak where he finished within the top ten before the Italian Grand Prix. It’s only the fourth race of 2022 where he failed to score points for Alpine. The Frenchman has been a sturdy piece for the French manufacturer since re-signing a three-year contract in 2021.

The 26-year-old scored his first victory in the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. We’ve seen him perform well multiple times, only to be held back by his machine. Ocon has the pedigree of a winning driver and it’s only a matter of time before we see him collecting more podium finishes. So far, he sits eighth in the 2022 Driver Standings with 66 points. The 2014 European Formula 3 Champion is also responsible for helping Alpine take fourth place in the 2022 Constructor Standings ahead of rivals McLaren.

Kevin Magnussen

  • 2022 Singapore Grand Prix Odds: +17500

The rehired Haas driver started his season with flying colors. He opened with a P5 in Bahrain, followed by two top-ten finishes in the three next races. However, reliability has been an issue for the team this season. Despite entering the calendar with a better machine, Magnussen suffered four DNFs leading up to Singapore.

It’s been a tough run for the Danish driver since coming back from summer break. His last four races featured one P15 and three P16 finishes. The same goes for his teammate Mick Schumacher, who scored his first points in the 2022 season.

Nevertheless, Magnussen is a driver capable of keeping up with the frontrunners if everything lines up for him. He is a worthy addition to our top 2022 Singapore Grand Prix sleeper picks in a circuit that doesn’t demand too much top speed.

Valtteri Bottas

  • >2022 Singapore Grand Prix Odds: +20000

It’s been a tough transition for the Finnish driver since departing Mercedes. Bottas sits tenth place in the Driver Standings with 46 points. His best result of 2022 happened in the early weeks, finishing P5 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The 33-year-old has seven top-ten finishes but is haunted by reliability issues. Like other Ferrari-powered machines on the grid, Alfa Romeo experienced its fair share of engine issues.

Bottas picked up four DNFs in seven races before finishing P13 in Monza. He already bagged a P3 in Singapore which tells us a lot about his familiarity with the circuit. If the constructor can snap out of its bad spell of mechanical problems, we might see the 2011 GP3 series champion return to winning ways as a sleeper pick.
