2023 Formula 1 schedule, F1 picks, odds: Singapore Grand Prix projected leaderboard, start time, race prediction from top model
The 2023 Formula 1 season will continue on Sunday with the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix on the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 8 a.m. ET and Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen will be looking to extend his record-breaking streak of 10 consecutive Formula 1 GP victories. Verstappen has 12 wins overall this season and has already built up a 145-point lead in the drivers' championship while Red Bull has won every race this year and have more than double the points of Mercedes, who sit second in the constructors' standings.
Verstappen is the -425 favorite (bet $425 to win $100) in the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix odds while his teammate Sergio Perez, the only other driver to win this season, is next on the board at +950. They're followed by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton (+1600), McLaren's Lando Norris (+2000) and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso (+2200) in the Singapore GP odds. SportsLine's proven computer projection model simulated the Singapore GP 2023 10,000 times and come 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.Â
It followed that up by calling Verstappen's win at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April and nailed Verstappen to win in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, the United States, Mexico and Abu Dhabi. It has also called all 12 of Verstappen's wins to start the 2023 season. Anyone who followed the model's lead on those plays has seen HUGE returns!
The Marina Bay Street Circuit opened in 2008 and the harbourside track began hosting the Singapore Grand Prix the same year. The track has recently been revised with a new straightaway between turns 15 and 16 and the 19-turn course now measures at 3.070 miles. The Singapore GP is a night race and it was the first of its kind in Formula One. The race returned in 2022 after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and Perez captured his fourth career victory with a nearly 2.6-second victory over Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
Now, the model has dialed in on the 2023 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix and just released its coveted picks and leaderboard projections.Â
We can tell you the model is fading McLaren's Lando Norris even though he is fourth favorite at +2000. McLaren has made improvements after a miserable start to the season where it finished out of the points entirely in three of the first five races. However, Norris hasn't exactly shown the consistency to be considered one of the favorites outside of Verstappen.
Outside finishes of fourth, second and second in Austria, Great Britain and Hungary over a three-race span, Norris has been outside the top five in every other race in 2023. That includes finishes of seventh, seventh and eighth in his last three starts heading into the Singapore Grand Prix. Norris is currently eighth in the F1 standings and is 30 points or more from both seventh-place George Russell and ninth-place Lance Stroll, leaving him looking pretty contented in the middle of the pack.
The model is also targeting one driver getting over 28-1 Singapore Grand Prix odds to make a serious charge up the leaderboard! Anyone who backs this driver could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who he is before locking in any Formula 1 Italian GP picks of your own.
So who wins the 2023 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix? And which SERIOUS long shot might be in contention? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected F1 Singapore GP leaderboard, all from the model that has nailed its racing picks the last two years, and find out!
