Verstappen entered 2023 as the favorite to win the season-long points title and to claim victory on Sunday in Bahrain. A year ago, he stumbled out of the gate in the season-opening race. He started second behind Leclerc, but finished 19th out of 20 racers after a fuel system issue. His teammate, Pérez, finished 18th after his own fuel system issue. Leclerc won the race and appeared set to give Verstappen a run for his money over the course of the season. It was not to be as Verstappen dominated most of the rest of the season to claim the title.

Verstappen is a heavy favorite to claim the checkered flag in this year’s race, heading into race day with -250 odds to win at DraftKings Sportsbook. Leclerc followed at +475, Pérez was +750, and then it was a sizable drop to Fernando Alonso at +1900.

We’ll update this with results as the race comes to a close ahead of noon ET.
