Formula 1 2023 Singapore Grand Prix Odds & Picks

Max Verstappen will be looking to extend his record for most consecutive Formula 1 race victories to at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix. Verstappen smashed the record previously held by Sebastian Vettel with a dominating performance two weeks ago at the Italian Grand Prix, and can take a major step towards clinching a third straight F1 crown with a victory this weekend.

Here’s a look at all the odds and trends ahead of the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday morning, with race time set for 8:00am ET at Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Odds to Win 2023 Singapore Grand Prix

Not surprisingly, Verstappen leads the way as a massive -450 favorite on the Singapore Grand Prix odds. The winner in this race a year ago, and a strong second-place finisher in Italy, Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Perez trails as a distant +1000 second favorite. The trio of Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and Fernando Alonso follow, each sporting +1800 odds.

Perez Returning to Form

Sergio Perez has shaken off a recent rough stretch during which he failed to reach the third round of qualifying on five occasions. The 33-year-old Mexican has claimed a spot among the top four in each of his past four outings and reached the podium four times over the past six races.

Perez has produced those results despite earning a spot on the two front rows of the grid during that stretch. However, that is a trend that could end this weekend in Singapore, where “Checo” started second on his way to victory last year. Considering Perez’ recent improvement and strong performance in Singapore in 2022, he should be considered as a value bet on the odds to win this race, and on the odds to seize the pole.

Ferrari Enjoying Newfound Consistency

The Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc arrive in Singapore on a high after finishing third and fourth respectively in Italy. That performance extends what has emerged as a consistent run of steady results for the Prancing Horse teammates.

The duo now seeks to duplicate their success in Singapore last year, when they produced a double podium finish, as well as spots on the front two rows of the starting grid. Realistically, there is little expectation that Ferrari can keep pace with the Red Bulls in Singapore. That was painfully evident in Italy, where both Verstappen and Perez faced little resistance in their bids to overtake the duo in early race action. But after producing double top six finishes in four of their past six outings including a pair of double podiums, Ferrari offers value as a +165 bet to turn in another double top six performance on Sunday.

Singapore Grand Prix Recent Winners

Liam Lawson Impressive in Unexpected F1 Debut

Daniel Ricciardo’s recent hand injury has opened the door for Liam Lawson to make his Formula 1 debut with AlphaTauri, and the 21-year-old New Zealander has not disappointed. After qualifying dead last in qualifying his debut at the Dutch Grand Prix, Lawson turned in a gritty race day performance on his way to a respectable 13th place finish.

Lawson quickly took things to the next level in Italy, powering to No. 12 in qualifying before finishing the race just out of the points, in 11th place, despite being the only AlphaTauri car on the track.

With Ricciardo inching back towards a return, possibly as soon as next week in Japan, look for Lawson to make the most of his current opportunity to prove himself as a legit F1 driver. Accordingly, he is an intriguing option as a +400 bet to finish top ten and earn the first points of his Formula 1 career.

• Sergio Perez to win (+1000)
• Ferrari double top-six finish (+165)
• Liam Lawson top-ten finish (+400)
