Favorites
Max Verstappen (Odds -190)
The early favorite is Max Verstappen, the most dominant driver of the season, who could also secure his 2022 Drivers’ Championship win with a victory at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The Dutchman has a total of eleven wins, two podiums, two 7th places, and one 19th place. Undoubtedly, his results are incredible and this weekend he will secure his Formula 1 championship for the second time.
Charles Leclerc (Odds +380)
Charles Leclerc is our second favorite: in the last three races he has reached the podium (3rd and 2nd position), and, in the last two, he was also the poleman. At last weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, he was beaten only by Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Pérez. He is the strongest candidate to overtake Verstappen this Sunday.
Checo Perez (Odds +1000)
The most recent Formula 1 winner is our third favorite. Checo Pérez conquered Singapore last Sunday when he overtook the others at the beginning of the race and held that position until the end. He is in third place in the Drivers’ Championship and has a total of 235 points.
Sleeper Picks
Lewis Hamilton (Odds +1100)
Lewis Hamilton is another candidate for this weekend. The Englishman has yet to achieve any victories, but has been on six podiums, with three 3rd places and two 2nd places. Since the Dutch Grand Prix he has achieved the following positions: 4th, 5th, and 9th.
Carlos Sainz (Odds +1200)
Ferrari’s second driver, Carlos Sainz Jr. is another of our sleeper picks for the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix. This season, he won the British GP, where he also started in first place. Since then, he achieved the fastest lap in France, pole and third place in the Belgian GP and third place in the Singapore GP.
Dark Horse
George Russell (Odds +1600)
Finally, we have Hamilton’s teammate, George Russell. This driver is in fourth position in the Drivers’ Championship and, although he finished 14th in Singapore, he had the fastest lap and was on a streak of two consecutive podium finishes in the Netherlands and Italy.

JefeBet Prediction
The best chance of winning goes to Max Verstappen, who is defending his championship from last year and could secure it in the Japanese Grand Prix. This is a very fast and aggressive driver who has been relentless this season, having won a streak of five consecutive victories.
