2022 F1 Emilia Romagna GP Recap

Red Bull hopes the same result from 2022 happens in 2023. Last year, Max Verstappen crossed the finish line 16.527 seconds ahead of teammate Sergio Perez.

Lando Norris finished third and George Russell finished fourth. Fifth place went to Valtteri Bottas followed by Charles Leclerc in sixth. Yuki Tsunoda finished seventh.

2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Picks

Top Pick to Win the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Teammate Verstappen won his third race of the season, but, once again, Sergio Perez showed that he’s going to be a force. In Miami, Sergio finished second for the second time in 2023.

In this season’s first F1 race, the Bahrain Grand Prix, Perez crossed the line behind his winning teammate. Sergio won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The top choice has had a single bad race, and it wasn’t even that bad. Perez finished fifth in Australia. No doubt, he and his crew will work hard this week to find a way to pass his Red Bull teammate in the race’s late stages.

Second Pick to Win the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

In Miami, Max Verstappen didn’t just beat Perez. He beat him by close to 17 seconds, which means by the time Sergio crossed the finish line, Max what out his car and popping champagne.

Okay, maybe, he wasn’t popping champagne just yet. But the time shows that Verstappen might be gearing up to take over the season. If that’s the case, the -250 odds make Max an overlay.

Verstappen dominated in 2022, and he started dominating around this time. So if you don’t mind the low odds on the chalk, consider for the top spot.

Third Pick to Win the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Fernando Alonso is a good pick because so far he’s had more consistent finishes. But Alonso offers a payout that’s 1000 less than George Russell’s.

George finished fourth at the Miami Grand Prix. If the Mercedes driver steps into a slightly faster car on Sunday, who knows? Eventually, Russell is going to win a race. The first victory could come on Sunday.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Sainz has underperformed so far this season. So has teammate Charles Leclerc. The odds on Leclerc make him almost unplayable. At +3500, Carlos is more than playable.

Sainz has finished fifth in the last couple of races, Azerbaijan and Miami. For sure, the top underdog pick must improve. It could happen. It did last season. So if you’re looking to back an underdog, Carlos Sainz is a decent option.
