Everything Max Verstappen touches seems to turn into gold in the past few seasons. After winning 15 out of 22 races last year, it seemed impossible for the Dutchman to become even more dominant in the sport. And true to form, Verstappen has already won six out of eight races this year, the last four in a row. Can he once again climb the top step of the podium at Red Bull's home track? These are the favorites for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Just like this year, the Austrian GP in 2022 was a sprint race. Verstappen won FP1, the sprint race qualifying, and the sprint race itself, securing a front-row start in the main race. He was overtaken by Leclerc in lap twelve and immediately dived into the pit. The Monegasque driver waited until lap 27, ending up behind Verstappen but overtaking him again in lap 33. The same scenario unfolded in laps 37 (Verstappen going in), 49 (Leclerc going in) and 53 (Leclerc overtaking Verstappen). Ultimately, the Ferrari driver won the race. So, how do the bookmakers assess the odds ahead of the 2023 edition?
