Formula 1 picks, odds, race time: Surprising 2023 British Grand Prix predictions, F1 bets by proven model
The 2023 Formula 1 season will continue on Sunday with the 2023 British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, England. The race will begin at 10 a.m. ET, and the continued dominance of Red Bull Racing has been the overarching theme through nine races. With Max Verstappen's seven wins and Sergio Perez's two, Red Bull has won every F1 race so far this season and has already opened up a 199-point lead in the constructors' championship.
Meanwhile, Verstappen has opened up an 81-point lead of his own for the drivers' championship and is the -300 favorite in the 2023 British Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Perez is listed at +750. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton is +1100 in the British GP odds while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is +1400 and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso is +1600. Before analyzing the 2023 British Grand Prix starting grid and making any Formula 1 picks, be sure to check out the latest 2023 British GP predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven projection model.
Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary Formula 1 prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results. It's had a strong history of success in motorsports, correctly predicting nine NASCAR winners since the 2021 season and its projected leaderboards have forecasted winners across multiple racing formats.
The model has been scorching hot when it comes to picking Formula 1 race events dating back to 2021. It nailed both of Leclerc's wins in 2022, and at the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix, the model was strongly backing Verstappen as its top pick. The result: Verstappen dominated the field and ran away with a surprise victory.
The model followed that up by calling Verstappen's win at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April and then nailed his wins again in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, the United States, Mexico and Abu Dhabi. It's also nailed Verstappen's wins in Bahrain, Australia, Miami, Monaco, Spain, Canada and Austria this season. Anyone who followed the model's lead on those plays has seen huge returns
Now, the model has dialed in on the 2023 Formula 1 British Grand Prix and just released its coveted picks and leaderboard projections. You can head to SportsLine now to see the complete 2023 British Grand Prix leaderboard projection.
Top 2023 Formula 1 British GP predictions
One massive shocker: The model is fading Leclerc even though he's coming off a season-best second-place finish in Austria and is listed as the fourth favorite. After finishing second in the 2022 Formula 1 standings, Leclerc has been wildly inconsistent early in the 2023 season.
He's tied for sixth in the standings with George Russell and he's been outside the top five in six of nine races thus far. Leclerc was retired in Bahrain and Australia and was outside the points in Spain. Last season, he finished fourth at Silverstone despite starting in third and wound up nearly nine seconds off the pace of Carlos Sainz, his Ferrari teammate. See who else the model is backing and who it is fading right here.
