Hamilton Unstoppable in Hungary

Hamilton’s win at Hungaroring marked his eighth career victory at the event and sets the stage for him to continue his winning ways this weekend. The 35-year-old Englishman has also dominated in his home race, capturing the checkered flag on a record six previous occasions, including five of the past six years.

With Hamilton showing no signs of slowing down, the question entering the fourth race of the Formula 1 season is whether anyone can stop him and his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who trails as a +225 second favorite in the British Grand Prix odds.

Buoyed by Mercedes’ clear technological edge over this season’s field, Bottas has reached the podium in each of this year’s three races including a victory at the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix. The 30-year-old Finn has also produced steady results at Silverstone, finishing among the top five in five of his past six appearances at this event, including a trio of second-place runs.

Verstappen Struggling to Keep Pace

The Mercedes’ duo’s early success leaves them well ahead of the rest of the pack in the odds to win the British Grand Prix, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen representing their closest competition at a distant +700. Verstappen has turned in solid results despite struggling to keep pace with Hamilton and Bottas.

The 22-year-old rising star finished second to Hamilton in Hungary and has reached the podium in five of his past six outings. Verstappen has produced mixed results at Silverstone, twice failing to finish and reaching the podium just once in five previous appearances.

Indeed, the heightened respect that Racing Point is receiving extends to the odds on which team’s car will take the pole position, where the British team sits third as an intriguing +1400 bet. Despite the availability of so many value bets further down the odds, it is tough to look past Hamilton at this weekend’s race.

Pick: Hamilton (-225)

Will Any Driver Complete the Hat Trick (Pole Position, Fastest Lap, Race Winner)

Hamilton’s Domination Makes Hat Trick a Solid Value Bet

In addition to taking home the checkered flag in Hungary two weeks ago, the six-time Formula 1 champion also seized the pole position for the second time in as many weeks and turned in the fastest lap. That impressive performance should have his rivals trembling as they travel to Silverstone, where Hamilton has started from the pole in five of his past seven appearances and produced the fastest lap on four occasions during that stretch.

Considering that track record, and barring any unforeseen circumstances impacting the defending champion between now and lights out on Sunday morning, the best betting value can be found in the +250 odds of any driver completing the hat trick, by taking the pole position, producing the fastest lap, and winning this year’s British Grand Prix.

Picks: Any driver to complete the hat trick (+250); Grid position of winner: Pole position (+100)
