While some F1 fans and commentators lament the lack of competitiveness this season, we like making winning bets and watching excellence. After all, regardless of the sport, there is always a chance for a one-sided beatdown.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and his RB-19 are handing out the F1 beatdowns this season, as the RB-19 is far and away the best car in race trim, which was on display during Verstappen’s dominant Spanish Grand Prix win, appearing as if the RB-19 was custom made for the Circuit de Bracelona-Cataluyna.
While it’s the Verstappen Show, many betting options are available, of which Insidersbettingdigest will highlight our favorite betting lines to make our Canada Grand Prix predictions.

Recent Results
There have been 57 Canadian Grand Prix, with three previous winners on the 2023 grid. Fernando Alonso won the Montreal stop on the F1 schedule in 2006, while Lewis Hamilton conquered Circuit Gilles Villeneuve seven times in his career (2007, 2010, 2012, 2015-2017, 2019).
Last year’s Canadian Grand Prix winner is the third previous winner in the field and is currently sitting atop the F1 standings: Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a highspeed road circuit on Île Notre Dame in the St. Lawrence River, filled with animals and Formula 1 history.
Of specific note is the Casino Straight, which starts at the Hairpin (turn 10) finishes with the heavy braking zone and chicane of turns 12 and 13, also known as the “Wall of Champions,” with a litany of former World Champions who have kissed, danced with, or outright crashed into it.
Ready, Set, Go! F1 Canadian Grand Prix 2023 Preview
Considering Verstappen’s dominance, we have a few Canada Grand Prix predictions and picks for your betting ticket.
First, take Red Bull (-700) to win the Canadian Grand Prix. If Verstappen has a failure of some sort, Sergio Pérez will be expected to take home the victory. Moreover, you should probably pick Red Bull (-10000) to win the Constructors’ Championship and Verstappen (-5000) in the Drivers’ Championship already.
Second, if you are one of the many F1 fans disappointed by Red Bull and Verstappen’s dominance, special futures betting lines omitting Verstappen and Red Bull from the Championships are available, wherein we’re picking Mercedes (-190) and Lewis Hamilton (+300).
A few drivers we’re taking for points finishes include Verstappen (-900), Alonso (-550), either Alpine driver – both listed at -300 – and McLaren’s Lando Norris (+125). We also like Yuki Tsunoda (+300) to potentially score points, having two tenth-place and three 11th-place finishes.
Mercedes’ W-14 upgrades are a sign of hope for the Brackley crew, and they’re closing in on Aston Martin in race pace. Lewis Hamilton or George Russell to score points is a must-pick, while Russell (+200) or Hamilton (+110) to score a podium finish are decent picks, especially if Pérez has another awful qualifying session.
Who will win the F1 Canadian Grand Prix 2023?
Let’s make our Canada Grand Prix predictions easy:
- Take Verstappen to win and claim the pole position. As long as the RB-19 is functional, Verstappen is likely to win this F1 race.
