Verstappen ran a strong race last time in Canada and has won six of nine F1 races this season. This race comes down to trying to find somebody you think can challenge Verstappen. Mercedes ran well in Canada, but can they make it two strong showings in a row? Lewis Hamilton won here for five straight years from 2017 to 2021. But he’s hard to bet given his recent form.

If he’s pushing for a victory, it will likely be in several races when the series moves to Great Britain. Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are the most likely to end Verstappen’s winning streak in Spain. Carlos Sainz will have good crowd support during the weekend and Sergio Perez needs to rebound after a couple of disappointing finishes.
