The 2022 Formula 1 schedule continues on with the 2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday, June 12. The race has a scheduled start time of 5 a.m. ET. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari is the -350 betting favorite in the latest Azerbaijan Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook. He is followed by rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull who comes in at -300. Defending champion Sergio Perez is listed at -175. Verstappen currently sits nine points ahead of Leclerc in the race for the 2022 F1 world championship, while Red Bull has a commanding 36-point lead over Ferrari in the 2022 Formula 1 constructor standings. SportsLine's proven computer projection model simulated the Azerbaijan 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 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 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and just released its coveted picks and leaderboard projections. 

We can tell you the model is completely fading Fernando Alonso, who is listed at 8-1 to win the race at Caesars. The Alpine race team has struggled to keep up with the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull, and McClure believes Mercedes is starting to separate themselves from the pack as well. In fact, the model is calling for Alonso to finish outside of the top five and barely crack the top 10.

The model is also targeting another driver with F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix odds of 35-1 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 Azerbaijan GP picks of your own.

So who wins the 2021 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix? And which long shot is a MUST-BACK? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected F1 Azerbaijan GP leaderboard, all from the model that has nailed its racing picks all year, and find out!
