It’s crazy to believe that we’ve already had eight races, but we’re already at Baku for the 2022 season. TheSportsGeek has the best Azerbaijan GP odds available online, and we’re looking for a winning driver.

We will cover the Azerbaijan GP betting odds and get to our Azerbaijan GP predictions below. Check out our list of the best F1 betting sites if you want action on the race.

Leclerc probably wasn’t in love with his team before he was erroneously called in for a pit stop, and this must have pushed him to his limits with Ferrari. Leclerc was likely winning if his team didn’t call him in for fresh tyres while they were still working on Carlos Sainz’s car.

This is a big loss for Leclerc, who wants a home track win on his resume. He was born and raised in Monaco and had his best chance of winning the Monaco GP after a fast qualifying session. Usually, that’s enough for a win with limiting overtaking available at Monaco. Not when you’re Ferrari, I guess.

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez ultimately won the race, while Leclerc settled for P4 because of the mishap. Carlos Sainz Jr. settled for P2, while Red Bull had two drivers on the podium, with Max Verstappen finishing P3.

The drama is likely to continue in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This isn’t an event that tends to be a drama-free race. There is typically something that arises for a team or two.

Good Friday. Hopefully an even better Saturday 💪 pic.twitter.com/eqb77KDqdV

God forbid that Leclerc’s team makes more errors during the race, but there was already an issue in the second practice session. We’ll get to it in more detail below, along with our Azerbaijan GP predictions.

Verstappen would have cleared, with Red Bull likely finishing P1-P2 to own the podium in Azerbaijan. The Red Bull pilot is the favorite on the Azerbaijan GP odds, followed closely by Leclerc for Ferrari.

Azerbaijan GP Predictions

Charles Leclerc (+150)

Last week had to be the biggest headache of Charles Leclerc’s career. He qualified P1 and had a nice car to win the Monaco Grand Prix.

A team like Ferrari can’t be making those mistakes. This isn’t Haas or Alpine. The engineers built a competitive car this season, and the team doesn’t know what to do with it.

Leclerc appeared concerned during the practice session that there were engine issues. He also questioned if the loss of power was normal. Whether sarcasm with his team or not, Leclerc doesn’t seem happy with Ferrari.

Azerbaijan is a bumpy track, naturally. Some bumps will be unavoidable on this surface, but Ferrari and Mercedes didn’t look as smooth as Red Bull. Ferrari appeared to get better as FP2 progressed, but bouncing for 51 laps is not going to hold up well with Red Bull.

Max Verstappen (+110)

I was not high on Max Verstappen last week. That’s a qualifiers race, so I liked Leclerc. Following qualifying, Leclerc was a heavy favorite to win the Monaco GP. I was feeling confident, but it’s hard to predict a pit error like that from Ferrari.

Perez was the fastest in FP1, while Leclerc had the advantage in FP2. Running the fastest lap clearly isn’t meaning much for Ferrari, though. It’s when the race is on, and Verstappen and Perez are more fundamentally sound with their team.

I’d fade Hamilton and Russell in most matchup bets. They aren’t going anywhere in this one. It’s another Ferrari and Red Bull race, with Verstappen and Perez likely too strong by the end of this race.

The F1 Azerbaijan GP odds for Verstappen look right for this race. He should be the Azerbaijan GP odds favorite. Anything at plus money looks like an acceptable bet to make on Verstappen to win at Baku.
