Sergio Perez and the rest of the field’s chances at the F1 Mexico City GP 2022 race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez are examined by SportsLine’s model.
Max Verstappen has already won the 2022 Formula 1 Driver’s World Championship, but at the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday, the Red Bull Racing driver will be chasing history. Verstappen can tie Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel for the most wins in an F1 season if he wins at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City. His main rival may be his Red Bull Racing teammate Sergio Perez, who is attempting to become the first Mexican driver to win the Mexico GP.
The race starts at 4:00 p.m. Verstappen is currently the -175 favorite in the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook (risk $175 to win $100). Meanwhile, Perez is 9-2 in this week’s F1 odds, trailed by Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc (6-1) and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton (12-1).
Before analyzing the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix starting grid and making any Formula 1 predictions, be sure to check out SportsLine’s proven projection model’s latest 2022 Mexico City GP predictions and betting advice.
This proprietary Formula 1 prediction model, developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results. It has a long track record of success in motorsports, having correctly predicted seven winners during the 2021 NASCAR season, and its projected leaderboards have predicted winners across multiple racing formats.
Since 2021, the model has been scorching hot when it comes to picking Formula 1 race events. It predicted both of Leclerc’s 2022 victories, and at the 2021 Mexican Grand Prix, the model had Verstappen as its top pick. Verstappen dominated the race and came away with a surprise victory.
The model then correctly predicted Verstappen’s victory at the Rolex Emilia Romagna GP in April, as well as his victories in Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, and the United States. Last week, he also correctly predicted Charles Leclerc’s podium finish for a +190 payout. Anyone who followed the model’s lead on those plays saw massive profits.
The model has now zeroed in on the 2022 Formula 1 Mexico City Grand Prix and has just released its highly anticipated picks and leaderboard projections. You can now view the complete 2022 Mexican GP leaderboard projection on SportsLine.
Predictions for the 2022 Formula One Mexican Grand Prix
The model is fading Perez, despite the fact that he is the 9-2 second favorite for the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix. In Abu Dhabi last year, Perez famously held up Lewis Hamilton by more than six seconds, allowing Verstappen to win his first championship on the final day of the season. Even with this year’s championship already secured, Perez says he doesn’t expect Verstappen to repay the favor, with the Dutchman aiming for immortality with a 14th victory of the season.
But, with both Red Bull teams going all-in for the win, Perez will have his work cut out for him, especially after a disappointing fourth-place finish at the US Grand Prix. Perez’s third-place finish in Mexico last year was incredible for the audience, but he’s finished seventh or worse in each of his previous five starts there. The model now predicts that despite having the crowd on his side, he will finish fourth, as he lacks the speed to earn another podium. Check out who the model is supporting right now.
How to Make Picks for the 2022 Mexican Grand Prix
