<h1>Canadian Grand Prix</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>After a weekend without Formula 1, it’s Bienvenue a Montreal for the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix.</p> <p>The previous race, in Spain, was a McLaren 1-2 and it sure looks as if that could be the pattern for the rest of the season.</p> <p>McLaren have won 7 of the 9 races so far – Oscar Piastri has won 5 and Lando Norris 2 – with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen the other winner.&nbsp;</p> <p>From a wagering standpoint as far as Outright Betting goes, it’s pretty much come down to whether you think Oscar or Lando will take the chequered flag.</p> <p>Oscar fans will point to his 5 wins, his head-to-head victories over Norris and his red-hot race pace coming out of Spain.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lando fans will counter with the fact that he finished 2nd here last year, and won in Melbourne, a track somewhat similar to the layout of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.&nbsp;</p> <p>Interestingly, like the Spanish Grand Prix, Verstappen has won the last 3 Montreal races, but it will take something special – or a McLaren mistake – for him to make it 4 in a row.</p> <p>Mad Max is also coming off a frustrating race where he was penalised for deliberately crashing into George Russell, something he later apologised for.</p> <p>Aston Martin’s hometown hero Lance Stroll does plan to race after skipping Spain because of a wrist injury.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Canadian Grand Prix Betting Tips</h2> <p><strong>Best Bet</strong></p> <p><strong>Oscar Piastri $2.50 (Outright Betting)</strong></p> <p>Two weeks ago, I had these the two drivers flip-flopped, thinking that Norris was due to re-establish himself against his McLaren teammate with a second consecutive win. But Piastri was too good again and won his 5th Grand Prix of the season by more than 2 seconds over Norris.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Next Best</strong></p> <p><strong>Lando Norris $2.60 (Outright Betting)</strong></p> <p>At the risk of repeating myself again, it just makes sense to focus on Piastri or Norris in these Outright markets. Neither driver has torn up the Montreal circuit – Piastri 5th and 11th in his two races here – and although Lando did finish 2nd last year in the rain, his previous finishes were 13th and 15th.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Value Bet</strong></p> <p><strong>George Russell $3.00 (Podium Finish)</strong></p> <p>Russell finished 3rd here last year and arguably could have won the rain-affected affair. There’s no precipitation expected this weekend, but the lower downforce track and slightly cooler temperatures could help the Mercedes’ cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Piastri Bet</strong></p> <p><strong>1st Oscar Piastri/2nd Lando Norris $4.33 (Exacta)</strong></p> <p>This bet hit at the Spanish Grand Prix and as mentioned, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that a McLaren 1-2 is on the cards again this weekend. A reminder, you do get slightly better odds ($4.50 as of publishing) for a 1st Lando Norris/2nd Oscar Piastri Exacta, so if you’re a Lando fan, that’s an option.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Canadian Grand Prix Australian Times</h2> <p><strong>Practice 1</strong>: Saturday June 14, 3:30am AEST</p> <p><strong>Practice 2</strong>: Saturday June 14, 7am AEST</p> <p><strong>Practice 3</strong>: Sunday June 15, 2:30am AEST</p> <p><strong>Qualifying</strong>: Sunday June 15, 5:55am AEST</p> <p><strong>Race</strong>: Monday June 16, 4am AEST</p>
