Max Verstappen has already clinched the 2022 Formula 1 Driver’s World Championship but the Red Bull Racing driver will be chasing history at the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday. With a win at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, Verstappen can surpass Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel for the most wins in an F1 season. However, his chief competition may be his Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Perez, as he looks to become the first Mexican driver to win the Mexico GP.
The race begins at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday and Verstappen is the current favorite in the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook at -175 (risk $175 to win $100). Meanwhile, Perez is at 9-2 and is followed by Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc (6-1) and Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes (12-1) in this week’s F1 odds board. Before analyzing the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix starting grid and making any Formula 1 picks, be sure to check out the latest 2022 Mexico City GP predictions and betting advice from proven projection model.
Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary Formula 1 prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results. It’s had a strong history of success in motorsports, correctly predicting seven winners during the 2021 NASCAR season and its projected leaderboards have forecasted winners across multiple racing formats.
The model has been scorching hot when it comes to picking Formula 1 race events dating back to 2021. It nailed both of Leclerc’s wins in 2022, and at the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix, the model was strongly backing Verstappen as its top pick. The result:
Verstappen dominated the field and ran away with a surprise victory. The model followed that up by calling Verstappen’s win at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April and then nailed his wins again in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan and the United Staes. He also nailed Charles Leclerc’s podium finish for a +190 payout last week. Anyone who followed the model’s lead on those plays has seen huge returns
Asked to confirm that he wants to continue competing, whether that be in endurance racing, IndyCar or something else, he said: “I think if the right opportunity in the right series… again, at this point in time, I can’t say exactly what the right series is, because I haven’t made up my mind yet.
“It’s definitely still on the table, but at the same time, if there’s not an option on the table that I feel is the right one for next year, then I’m not necessarily ruling out taking a year to then put something better together for the following one.”

His future plans to one side, Latifi is keen to move on from a disappointing United States Grand Prix, where he suffered an early spin, but admits the nature of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is unlikely to suit the Williams package.
“I think on paper this is going to be a very difficult track for us. The only thing we’ll have going for us is the straight-line speed, but we’re fast in a straight because we don’t make a lot of downforce, not because we’re extremely efficient in a straight line,” he commented.
don’t need anyone to give me anything,” he insisted at a Red Bull event this week in Perez’s native Guadalajara.
“I raced all my life without anyone giving me a gift.”
On the contrary, most fans and insiders would agree that Perez has offered significant support to Verstappen both this year and last – so much so that some have given him the nickname ‘Minister of Defence’.
“This nickname makes me laugh,” said Perez. “It has become very famous everywhere, but I like Minister of Attack better because I like attacking more than defending.
“But it is also good to have defense,” he smiled.
Generally, Perez says he is happy with his 2022 season, even though he recently hinted that he has faced discrimination in Formula 1 for his nationality.
“I haven’t suffered discrimination in Formula 1 for being Latin American,” he insisted, “but if I have a good race it is not talked about as much as if I were a European driver. And if I have a bad race there is more talk about that.
“But I am lucky to be Mexican and it is part of the sport so I don’t like to complain about this.
“I was a little up and down in the middle of the season when I was fighting for the championship,” Perez admitted. “With the improvements to the car I moved away a bit.
Discussing last weekend’s United States Grand Prix, which Verstappen won after passing Hamilton for the lead five laps from the end, Kravitz likened the situation to the script of a movie, and referenced Mercedes’ supposed inferiority to Verstappen’s Red Bull this year.
“[Hamilton] doesn’t win a race all year, and then finally comes back at a track where he could win the first race all year, battling the same guy who won the race he was robbed in the previous year, and manages to finish ahead of him,” said Kravitz.
“What a script and a story that would have been. But that’s not the way the script turned out today, was it?
“Because the guy that beat him after being robbed actually overtook him, because he’s got a quicker car, because of engineering and Formula 1 and design, and pretty much because of [Adrian Newey, Red Bull’s Chief Technical Officer] over there.”
Earlier in the United States Grand Prix weekend, Kravitz had also made reference to Verstappen not winning titles in a ‘normal way’, after the Dutchman was confirmed as the 2022 Drivers’ Champion after the Japanese Grand Prix when Charles Leclerc received a penalty dropping him from second to third.
“Verstappen is around the [Austin] paddock, he seems very happy with himself. He doesn’t seem to be a driver capable of winning a championship in a normal way,” said

The newly crowned back-to-back world champion produced a fine final flying lap to finish ahead of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who had led the way in the final practice session.
Russell said afterwards he felt he had let down his team with a “terrible lap”, saying: “I felt like it was our pole to have.”
Verstappen’s first pole in Mexico City stands him in a strong position to win his 14th grand prix of the season and break the record for the most race wins in a single campaign
