Favorites
Max Verstappen (-360 on DraftKings)
Seems like nothing is going to stop Verstappen this season. It’s been made incredibly rate by the Red Bull driver that he is the best driver and the driver to beat this season, and he added even more proof to that by topping the recently concluded Hungarian Grand Prix — to the surprise of no one. Verstappen has nine wins in 11 starts this year, with the other two being runner-up finishes. He is also the winner of the Belgian Grand Prix in each of the last two years.
Lando Norris (+900 on DraftKings)
Norris is certainly making his presence felt of late. The McLaren Mercedes driver has finished inside the top five in each of his last three races, including back-to-back runner-up performances in the British Grand Prix and the Hungarian Grand Prix. Currently eighth in the standings with 60 points, Norris is already halfway through tying his career-best four podium finishes in 2021 when he finished sixth overall.
Sergio Perez (+1100 on DraftKings)
While Verstappen is the clear star of Red Bull, Perez isn’t performing too shabby either. Perez has in fact finished inside the top five in four of his last five races, including a pair of third-places in the Austrian Grand Prix and in the Hungarian Grand Prix. Also don’t forget that Perez is the only driver not named Max Verstappen to win a race this season, as the Mexican won in Saudi Arabia and in Azerbaijan. Last year, he finished second in the 2022 Belgian Gran Prix.
Sleeper Picks
George Russell (+2200 on DraftKings)
Fifth in the standings with 90 points, Russell is still looking for his first win of the year. After a DNF in the Canadian Grand Prix, Russell has cracked the top 10 in each of the next three starts, including a sixth place in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc (+2500 on DraftKings)
Leclerc is still winless this year, but he could finally find success this week in Belgium. After all, he got his first win ever in Formula 1 in the 2019 edition of the Belgian Grand Prix.
Dark Horse
Kevin Magnussen (+5000 on DraftKings)
With only two points so far this year, it’s just hard to imagine Magnussen shocking the field this week in Belgium. After a DNF in the British Grand Prix, Magnussen finished 17th in the Hungarian Grand Prix, so his search for a win/podium finish continues this week.
El Jefe’s Prediction on 2023 Belgian Grand Prix
