The Formula One circus touches down in the iconic Silverstone this weekend for the British Grand Prix, and the typical British summer weather could play a part with rain forecast for Sunday’s Grand Prix.
Last year’s race saw Lewis Hamilton take a shock victory, but can the most successful driver in British Grand Prix history defy the odds once more?
British Grand Prix betting tips
Lando Norris to win at 6/4
Lando Norris produced an excellent weekend at the Austrian Grand Prix last time out, absorbing a huge amount of pressure from teammate Oscar Piastri in the opening stint before keeping his cool amid scorching track temperatures to bring home a race win.
This cuts the gap at the top of the World Drivers’ Championship to 15 points, and Norris could continue to reel in Piastri with his first British Grand Prix victory on Sunday.
The 25-year-old was second in FP1 and almost a tenth-and-a-half quicker than Piastri, and he has a fantastic record against his teammates around Silverstone.
He has been on the podium here in each of the last two seasons, and he hasn’t lost to his teammate in the British Grand Prix since his first season in Formula One in 2019.
With McLaren looking so much faster than the field in race trim, expect it to be a two-way battle for the win, and I’m backing Norris to emerge victorious.
Lewis Hamilton to finish on the podium at 6/5
One driver who’s record at Silverstone cannot be matched is Lewis Hamilton, and he could kickstart his Ferrari career with a first podium in red on Sunday.
The seven-time world champion has won the British Grand Prix a record nine times and has been on the podium 14 times, with the last time he finished outside the top three being back in 2013.
Ferrari look to have taken a step forward recently and were well clear of George Russell’s Mercedes last week, and Hamilton’s affinity with this circuit may allow him to get the better of teammate Charles Leclerc, as demonstrated by his timesheet-topping performance in FP1.
The cooler conditions and potential rain on race day may shake things up, but Hamilton is one of the best wet-weather drivers on the grid, so a bit of rain would not hamper his chances.
