Formula 1 picks, odds, race time: Surprising 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix predictions, F1 bets from proven model

The 2023 Formula One season kicks off on Sunday with the 2023 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sahir, Bahrain. The race starts at 10:00 AM ET and Max Verstappen will return to action as a two-time reigning F1 champion. Red Bull Racing, Ferrari and Mercedes have retained their driver lineups as the three manufacturers are expected to battle it out in an exciting race for the title. But in the middle of the pack there was some shuffling: Fernando Alonso left Alpine for Aston Martin, Pierre Gasly took Alonso’s vacant seat with Alpine, and McLaren poached reserve driver Oscar Piastri from Alpine.

Red Bull’s Verstappen is listed as the -133 (risk $133 to win $100) favorite in Caesars Sportsbook’s 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix odds, with Charles Leclerc listed as +320 to put Ferrari on a winning streak. Leclerc’s teammate Carlos Sainz is next on the F1 odds board this week at 9-1, while Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Pérez are 10-1.

One big shock: Pérez’s model is fading, though he ends up with a strong season in which he scored two wins, 11 podiums and finished third in the Formula One standings. Pérez’s place at Red Bull Racing was in jeopardy during the 2022 season, but he got an extension after a prestigious win in Monaco and then marked his first multi-win season with a victory in Singapore.

However, the 33-year-old Mexican has finished on the podium in eight of his last 14 starts of the season and has fallen to Leclerc for second place in the standings. Pérez finished 18th at the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix and only had one podium finish in his 12-year F1 career. See who the model is backing right here.
