Before making any predictions or placing bets, it's crucial to consult SportsLine's reliable projection model for the latest insights and betting advice.

SportsLine's Formula 1 prediction model, developed by daily Fantasy pro and predictive data engineer Mike McClure, utilizes a proprietary algorithm that simulates every race 10,000 times. The model takes into account various factors such as track history and recent results to make accurate predictions. It has a proven track record of success in motorsports, accurately predicting nine NASCAR winners since the 2021 season and consistently forecasting winners in different racing formats.

The model has been particularly successful in predicting Formula 1 race events since 2021. It accurately predicted both of Charles Leclerc's wins in 2022 and correctly backed Verstappen as the top pick for the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix, which resulted in Verstappen securing a dominant victory. The model continued its winning streak by accurately predicting Verstappen's wins at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP, as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, the United States, Mexico, and Abu Dhabi. It has also correctly predicted Verstappen's wins in Bahrain, Australia, Miami, Monaco, Spain, and Canada this season. Following the model's recommendations on these plays has resulted in significant returns for those who followed its lead.

Now, the model has turned its attention to the 2023 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix and has released its highly anticipated picks and leaderboard projections. To see the complete projected leaderboard for the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix, head over to SportsLine now.

One surprising prediction from the model is its high confidence in Leclerc's performance, despite his odds of 25-1, which tie him with George Russell from Mercedes as the fifth favorite. Leclerc, a five-time Formula One winner, including a victory at the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix, outperformed Verstappen by 1.532 seconds in a thrilling race after starting second on the grid. His victory allowed him to surpass Perez in the F1 standings, and he went on to finish second overall for the season. Although Ferrari has had a challenging start this year, Leclerc managed to secure their only podium finish in Azerbaijan and recently achieved a solid fourth-place finish in Canada. Given his status as a defending champion and the attractive odds, the model believes Leclerc has the potential to outperform expectations as the fifth favorite.

In addition to Leclerc, the model has identified a longshot with triple-digit odds who could make a surprising surge up the leaderboard. Backing this driver could result in substantial winnings.
