The next stop in the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship is the Monaco Grand Prix, taking place May 26-29. As one of the most popular F1 races every year, the Monaco GP attracts attention from race fans and celebrities around the world.
This prestigious Formula 1 event is unlike any other during the F1 season and takes place throughout the narrow streets of Monaco. The length of Circuit de Monaco is 3.34 km (2.07 miles) and the race is 78 laps, for a total length of just over 260 km (161 miles). It’s worth noting that this is the only F1 track that doesn’t abide by the mandated 305 km (190 mile) minimum F1 race distance. Despite being one of the shortest and slowest races during the season, the Monaco GP is considered by many as the most challenging race in the Formula 1 World Championship.
The circuit requires both speed and control from F1 drivers as they make their way around the streets of the principality. Featuring many tight corners and a number of changes in elevation, this is one race where the driver’s skill behind the wheel can overcome the deficiencies of their car. This can make things very exciting from a betting standpoint, as it gives more drivers a legitimate chance at winning the race. Bovada Sportsbook has Monaco Grand Prix betting odds on all 20 Formula 1 drivers in this year’s race, giving you the opportunity to win a big payout while watching the action unfold on the track.
Monaco Grand Prix Betting Odds
For the F1 betting community, there are no surprises when it comes to the two drivers with the best odds to win the Monaco GP; Verstappen and Leclerc continue to dominate and remain the best bets to win this upcoming race.

Let’s review the top favorites to win the Grand Prix, based on the current Monaco GP odds at Bovada Sportsbook.

Charles Leclerc -110
The Ferrari driver has plenty of motivation to win this race; in addition to recently losing his lead in the Drivers’ Championship standings, Monaco is also where Leclerc was born. Ferrari is hoping that these circumstances are just the push Leclerc needs to get back into the winner’s circle and reclaim his spot atop the standings.
Max Verstappen +125
Last year’s Formula 1 Champion is back in his groove, having won the last three F1 races with victories in Emilia Romagna, Miami and Spain. Keep in mind that Verstappen won this race last year, so it’s clear he knows how to handle the streets of Monaco. With the Red Bull driver now first in the standings with 110 points, a win in Monaco would go a long way in his bid to claim the 2022 Drivers’ Championship.
Carlos Sainz +1400
While he’s currently fifth in the Driver standings, Sainz’ seat behind the wheel of the powerful Ferrari car makes him an automatic contender. Sainz has already earned three podium finishes so far this season and just missed out with a P4 finish last week in Spain. Considering he finished second in the last year’s Monaco GP, his current betting odds are certainly appealing leading up to this year’s race.
Sergio Perez +1800
The Red Bull driver has been solid this season and is still in the hunt for the Drivers’ Championship with 85 points heading into the Monaco GP. While Verstappen is clearly the top dog for Red Bull, Perez would have an excellent chance at winning this race if his teammate gets taken out on the track and his long betting odds could make for a massive payout.
George Russel +2000
If you were expecting Lewis Hamilton to be the first Mercedes driver on this list, think again. Russell has been a model of consistency in his first season with Mercedes, finishing in the top five of all six races. While that has been good enough to keep him afloat in the standings, he’s still yet to finish higher than P3. A win in Monaco would propel Russel forward and could end up being a major turning point for the struggling Mercedes team.
