Top bookies have provided the following Formula One race odds for likely favorites to win this contest in Montreal:
Despite starting the season strongly, Max Verstappen finished a disappointing sixth position in the Monaco Grand Prix two weekends ago. His setback in Monaco allowed his rivals to claw back valuable points in the F1 Driver’s Championship. He’ll be looking to bounce back in Montreal, where he’s dominated the last two races. With Leclerc reducing the point gap down to 31 points, Verstappen will be intent on winning this race.
Charles Leclerc is the next favorite contender for the 2024 Canadian GP, according to his Formula 1 Canadian GP 2024 odds from bookies. The Ferrari driver will be in high spirits after his recent victory in Monaco. That victory marked his first title since July 10, 2022. This win caps his brilliant start to this racing season. So far, he has finished in the top four in every race leading up to Monaco.
Lando Norris has a passion for racing in North America. Last month, he celebrated his first-ever Formula 1 victory at the Miami GP. Now, he’s ranked third among the favorites for the 2024 Canadian GP. The 24-year-old continues to impress, making it likely he’ll secure his second F1 win in Canada. He will look to improve on his fourth-place finish at the Monaco.
Oscar Piastri’s frustrating, poor run of form finally ended in Monaco. He converted his blistering pace into a well-deserved second-place finish, equaling his best F1 result. Despite showing impressive speed in previous races, misfortune struck in Miami when contact with Carlos Sainz ruined a potential podium finish. Imola followed a similar theme, with a post-qualifying penalty denying him a podium finish. Piastri will set his sights on his maiden Grand Prix victory this Sunday.
Carlos Sainz, who secured another Ferrari’s victory this year, will leave in 2025 when Lewis Hamilton joins from Mercedes. Sainz has been in outstanding form since the 2024 season began, starting with a third-place finish in Bahrain. This early podium highlighted both his improved performance coming from last season. With another third-place finish from Monaco, Sainz could be on the cusp of securing a second F1 race title in Montreal.
The 4.361-kilometer track, named after Gilles Villeneuve, features six left-hand and eight right-hand corners. It also boasts one of the season’s lowest average speeds. The key to competitiveness is stability under braking, traction out of chicanes, and slow corners. The circuit includes the hairpin leading to a long straight and rewards a car that can change direction swiftly. Unlike Monaco, overtaking is feasible here.
Verstappen reigns supreme on this circuit after its restart following the Covid-19 pandemic. He has claimed victory in both races since the track’s return from the COVID-19 break. Leclerc and Norris didn’t finish on the podium in those editions.

Max Verstappen will be motivated to win this race after a disappointing at Monaco two weeks ago. Monaco is notoriously difficult, but few expected Verstappen to lose two races out of the last three. The three-time F1 champion has won the last two Canadian GPs, a factor that will boost his confidence heading into this race. He holds numerous motorsport records, including the most wins in a season (19). He still has a shot at breaking that record, needing to win 15 of the remaining 16 races. A victory at the Canadian GP would be a strong start, and we expect him to win and get the fastest lap as well.

Oscar Piastri is knocking on the door of his maiden Formula One victory, especially after McLaren brought plenty of positive changes to their cars. In Miami, he battled with the race leaders, only to be shuffled down the order by a safety car. Imola offered another chance, with Piastri qualifying a stellar second, but a post-race penalty dashed his hopes. In Monaco, he once again displayed his talent by running wheel-to-wheel with championship leader Leclerc. In that race, he had to settle for second place. Given his recent performances, a podium finish this weekend seems likely for the Aussie in Montreal. Formula 1 best betting odds for Oscar to mount the podium stands at 2.37 (4/3).
