2022 F1 Austrian GP Recap

Last year, Max Verstappen won the pole, but he didn’t win the race. Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, who started second, overtook Verstappen to win the trophy.

Leclerc finished 1.53 seconds ahead of Verstappen. Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished third and fourth.

Esteban Ocon finished fifth. Mick Schumacher took sixth followed by Lando Norris in seventh and Kevin Magnussen in eighth. Daniel Ricciardo and Fernando Alonso finished ninth and tenth.

Top Pick to Win the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

Fernando Alonso could be sitting on a victory. The Spaniard has driven exceptionally well this season. He has yet to win a race, but he’s gotten close, including finishing second at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Alonso started the season finishing third in the first three races: Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Fernando finished fourth at Azerbaijan, third in Miami, and second at Monaco.

The seventh place finish at Spain is the only non-top five finish for Fernando Alonso this season. If Verstappen isn’t at this best for some reason, Alonso could pick up the pieces. The odds make the top choice more than playable.

Second Pick to Win the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

If the Emiliano Romagna Grand Prix hadn’t gotten the axe due to flooding, Max would probably be on a 5-race winning streak. Verstappen is driving like what he is, the best F1 racer on the planet.

The man was unbeatable around this time in 2022. Right now, it looks like 2023 is going to be a repeat of last year’s dominant Formula 1 Season.

For sure, Verstappen can win the Austrian Grand Prix. But the odds make it difficult to back Max to take the top prize. Verstappen isn’t unbeatable. He’s a play against to win outright because of the odds, but only because of the odds.

Third Pick to Win the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton finished third at the Canadian Grand Prix. The third place finish came after a second at the Spanish Grand Prix. The second in Spain came after a fourth place finish in Monaco. For sure, Hamilton is trending in the right direction. However, that doesn’t mean he suddenly beats Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso.

The odds make Hamilton playable. So if you believe Lewis get it done on Sunday, pull the trigger. If not, look elsewhere because although Hamilton is driving well, it hasn’t been well enough for a victory yet.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

It’s difficult to trust Leclerc or fellow Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz this season. Leclerc has yet to win. By this time last year, Charles had already stepped to the top spot on the podium twice.

Leclerc did finish fourth at the Canadian Grand Prix in the last. That’s a great sign he’s moving in the right direction.

The odds are excellent and Charles won this last year. So why not if you want to take a stab on beating the great Max Verstappen?
