Top Pick to Win the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix

It feels as if Lando Norris and McLaren are on the doorstep of something special. Norris upset Max at the Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. Then in the following race, the Emiliana Romagna, Lando finished second behind Verstappen.

In the last event, Norris finished fourth, ahead of Verstappen again, who finished sixth. For sure, McLaren has a ways to go to be on Red Bull’s level, but that path is much shorter now than it was at the beginning of the season. The odds on Norris are fair, while Verstappen has managed a single victory in 1 of the last 3 races. Go with the hot constructor and their best driver.

Second Pick to Win the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz dominated the Monaco Grand Prix. For sure, Ferrari had an edge because the race took place over their track. Still, a first and third place finish portend that Ferrari may be on their way back.

Red Bull has dominated so thoroughly the past couple of F1 seasons that most auto racing bettors forgot that Ferrari is one of the creators of F1. Ferrari is likely going to break out next season, though, not this season. However, Leclerc, and Sainz, should both continue to boast about top five finishes. So choosing Leclerc second makes sense.

Third Pick to Win the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix

It’s tough to go against Verstappen in two straight races. Also, the odds are more than fair since they’ve been in a long time.

But the odds on Leclerc and Norris are at +450 for a reason. Oddsmakers, and many F1 handicappers because the opening odds haven’t changed much, insist that the gap between Red Bull and McLaren and Ferrari has closed. If that’s the case, Max is a bad bet at -190.

The dilemma is that he could bounce back with a win. But if Leclerc or Norris get it done, their odds in the next event will be closer to +350 or maybe even +300. Your call, but we’re going for the money.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix

Piastri, Norris’s teammate at McLaren, finished second in Monaco. Piastri beat Sainz and almost got to Leclerc, losing by 7 seconds.

McLaren has a strong hand heading into the second half of the season. Like Norris, Oscar offers excellent odds. So if you want to back a driver with a legit chance at a square price, go for McLaren’s other driver.
