Pick Analysis
Mercedes broke into the winner’s circle for the first time since 2022 when George Russell captured the Austrian Grand Prix. Mercedes had been running better the previous couple of F1 races, so getting a victory wasn’t the biggest surprise around. But it was surprising that it came a week earlier than most expected. The home race for the two Mercedes drivers is this weekend’s British Grand Prix.
Both Lewis Hamilton and Russell are from Great Britain. If there is one race they want to win each year, it’s the race over Silverstone Circuit. The British GP betting preview looks at how both drivers stack up to the field.
For one of the local heroes to win, it could take another misfortune for Max Verstappen. He has shown a tendency to rebound after difficult races. Verstappen is the favorite, but his odds are just -150. He’s typically closer to twice those odds. Lando Norris, another British driver, is No. 2 in betting at +200. There’s a gap before you get to Oscar Piastri and the two Mercedes drivers.
Everybody knows this is Hamilton’s final year with Mercedes before jumping ship to Ferrari. If the British Grand Prix was a fairy tale, Hamilton and Russell would run 1-2. That’s probably out of the question, but you have to think Hamilton has one last push in him in front of the home fans. Asking him to win the race is probably too much, but Hamilton can finish on the podium. The odds on that happening are +175, which is a shade lower than hoped for. The F1 bet tips for the British Grand Prix is going to be Lewis Hamilton to finish in the top three at +175.

British Grand Prix Betting Analysis
The British GP betting preview has to begin with Verstappen, who hasn’t always enjoyed the most success at Silverstone. He is getting some negative feedback over his incident with Norris in the Austrian Grand Prix, but that can be when he’s at his best.
Norris can be a factor once again and the McLaren’s are running well. Piastri is coming off a good race where he finished second to Russell. Carlos Sainz was third ahead of Hamilton.
Hamilton and Mercedes have picked up the pace a little bit. It’s obvious the cars aren’t quite where they need to be, but they’re better than they were. Hamilton has two fourth-place and a third-place finish in his last three starts. He finished no better than sixth place in the first eight races of the season.
