2022 F1 Canadian GP Odds and Race Predictions

Formula 1 is in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for Round 9 of the 2022 season. The Canadian Grand Prix race weekend opened with storms and rain on Thursday, but it should be a sunny and beautiful day on Sunday for raceday. TheSportsGeek has the best Canadian GP odds for the race this weekend.

We’ve compiled a list of the top F1 betting sites for your Canadian GP betting odds experience. If you played our picks from Baku last weekend, it was a winning trip to Azerbaijan. Max Verstappen pulled ahead of teammate Sergio Perez and was the best for a 20.823-second win.

Verstappen was most likely winning this one regardless, but Leclerc would have picked up some valuable points for Ferrari. This is the second straight week where Leclerc’s loss was not his fault.

Leclerc is a good driver, but he can’t do much with Ferrari if they’re going to tie his hands behind his back. Ferrari took a gamble and improved the performance of their cars in the offseason. However, they risked reliability problems with these upgrades, and it’s hitting them now.

Red Bull wasn’t running blemish-free early in the season, but the engineers have figured it and both Perez and Verstappen are flying. Verstappen leads the Drivers’ Championship standings with 150 points over Perez with 129 points.

We’ll get into the best F1 Canadian GP odds below, but let’s check out the latest Canadian GP winners and the weather forecast for Montreal this weekend.

Previous Canadian GP Winners

F1 returns to Montreal for the first time since 2019. As a result of the pandemic and Covid-19 regulations in Canada, F1 had to pass on the Canadian Grand Prix

Circuit Gilles Villevenue is named after hometown legend Gilles Villeneuve. Villeneuve won the inaugural Canadian Grand Prix in 1978. The family has a rich racing history, and Gilles rightfully has a circuit named after him.

Mercedes has dominated at Montreal for over a decade, but this likely won’t be their first win of 2022. They had a bumpy ride at Baku last weekend, and all things considered, finishing P4 and P3 was a good look for Hamilton and George Russell.

Canadian GP Weather Forecast

The weather forecast is not expected to be pretty for the beginning of race week in Montreal, but all should be fine for raceday on Sunday.

Practice sessions and qualifying could be interesting, though. Drivers arrived in Montreal on Thursday and were greeted with torrential downpours.

This will add another layer of tough preparations for race teams. They will likely need the rain tyres for practice and qualification, with Sunday looking sunny and clear.

Canadian GP Odds

Max Verstappen is in the pilot’s seat as the leading candidate to win the Canadian Grand Prix. Verstappen is the F1 Canadian GP odds favorite at -135 to win at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Leclerc has the third-best odds of winning at +275, while the defending champ, Lewis Hamilton, is not expected to have a great performance at +3300. 2022 is not the year of Mercedes. That’s been well established this year.

2022 Canadian GP Prediction

Charles Leclerc (+450)

Charles Leclerc was complaining about engine problems in practice, which translated to the race on Sunday. It may not have been related, as Leclerc appeared to be driving in the wrong mode, but it was a bad omen regardless.

Leclerc may put Ferrari into contention, but it will be because of his team. It will need to be a perfect run from Leclerc with a clean car for him to have a chance at the win.

They will apply a quick fix to their issues from last week. That’s probably not enough for Montreal, though. This is likely all Red Bull again.

Max Verstappen (-135)

Red Bull has Max Verstappen’s car tuned to perfection right now. When Verstappen has a fast car doing everything right, there isn’t going to be another driver on the F1 gride that can touch him.

Previously, Mercedes had the fastest straight-line car, but this car is running like a bumpy boat down the course. It was tough to beat Mercedes in a straight-line race.

The Montreal Grand Prix will be decided on whether Verstappen doesn’t retire from the race. His only loss this season that he’s stayed in a race was at Monaco.

After exiting the Australian GP on April 10, Verstappen’s car is running reliably. That’s what this race comes down to, and I’ll bet that Red Bull and Verstappen is the best in Montreal.
