The 2022 Formula 1 schedule continues on with the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring on Sunday, July 10. The race has a scheduled start time of 9 a.m. ET. Max Verstappen of Red Bull is the -175 betting favorite (risk $175 to win $100) in the latest Austrian Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook. He is followed by rival Charles Leclerc of Ferrari who comes in at 3-1. Verstappen is looking to defend his 2021 Austrian GP title, and take home his fourth checkered flag at the event in the last five years. Verstappen is currently 34 points ahead of Leclerc in the race for the 2022 F1 world championship, while Red Bull has a commanding 63-point lead over Ferrari in the 2022 Formula 1 constructor standings. 

SportsLine's proven computer projection model simulated the Austrian Grand Prix 2022 10,000 times and came up with a surprising leaderboard.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary Formula 1 prediction model takes into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.

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 surprising victory. The model followed that up by calling Verstappen's win at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April. Anyone who followed the model's lead on those plays has seen HUGE returns!

Now, the model has dialed in on the 2022 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix and just released its coveted picks and leaderboard projections. 

We can tell you the model is calling for F1 legend Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes to finish on the podium at +270 odds. The Mercedes race team has struggled to keep up with the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull, but McClure believes they are starting to catch up and Hamilton is inching closer towards contending on a regular basis.  

The model is also targeting another driver with F1 Austrian Grand Prix odds of 20-1 to make a serious run at the checkered flag! Anyone who backs this driver could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who he is before locking in any Formula 1 Austrian GP picks of your own.
