Austrian Grand Prix Analysis
Every Formula 1 weekend brings forth the question of do you try to beat Max Verstappen or play him as a big favorite? There’s little question Verstappen is the best in the business right now. That’s reflected in his F1 world championship odds that see him as a huge -2000 favorite. He’s won seven of 10 starts this season and holds a 69-point lead over Lando Norris.
The Austrian Grand Prix is the home race for Red Bull, which is something you have to consider in your Austrian GP betting picks. It’s a race Verstappen has won four of the last six years. While it’s a race Verstappen wants to win, it’s probably a bigger race for Sergio Perez. Checo has to show the team’s faith in him is justified, but winning might be too much of a tall order. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Perez have a solid finish here.
Verstappen is the likely winner of the race, however the odds are a bit concerning. Verstappen was -300 when he won this race last year. Charles Leclerc won the race in 2022 and is third in the betting odds at a hefty price of +1800. Leclerc finished second to Verstappen last year and is really one of the few drivers to offer decent betting value in the race. He’s a longshot for a reason, but Leclerc +1800 is a worthwhile wager at those F1 odds.

Austrian Grand Prix Betting Analysis
The Austrian Grand Prix is held over Red Bull Ring, one of the shorter tracks on the F1 circuit at 2.683 miles. The track has 10 turns and long straights. Cars need a mixture of power and high-speed downforce to be competitive. While Verstappen has four victories at the race, Leclerc makes more sense for your Austrian GP betting picks due to the price.
That isn’t to say Verstappen won’t run away from the field. He’s certainly capable, but Leclerc has two seconds and a win at the Austrian Grand Prix in the last four years. He’s proven he can compete over the track and be competitive. That’s all you can ask for out of a +1800 longshot when it comes to Formula 1 betting.

Austrian Grand Prix Previous Winners and Betting Trends
The Austrian Grand Prix field sees many former winners competing in this year’s race. In addition to Verstappen and Leclerc, Valtteri Bottas has a couple of victories in the race and Lewis Hamilton also has finished on the top step of the podium.
The favorite has fared well in the F1 races when Verstappen has won recently, but there have also been some nice long shots. Leclerc won at odds of +2000 when he captured the race in 2022. Bottas was the fifth betting choice at +600 when he won in 2020. Leclerc’s previous victory shows that a longshot can win the race, which is another reason why to include him in your Austrian GP picks.
Austrian Grand Prix Betting Picks
Bet Charles Leclerc at odds of +1800 to win the Austrian Grand Prix. Leclerc has run well over the Red Bull Ring in the past and it’s a track he enjoys racing at. He and teammate Carlos Sainz had some words after the Spanish Grand Prix, so expect a big effort of out of Leclerc here. His best will put him near the front of the pack and he has shown he’s capable of winning this race.
