British Grand Prix betting tips: Hamilton seeks home comforts

Sergio Perez clinched another podium in Austria and is available at 12/1 for a race win and evens to make the podium. McLaren’s Lando Norris delivered another fine display last time out and is priced at 5/2 for a top-three finish in the British Grand Prix betting tips.

Sprint format gets debut run

F1’s new sprint race is trialled for the first time at Silverstone, with all eyes fixed on how it works ahead of a possible introduction in future seasons.

The teams will take part in a 100km race to decide the starting grid for the grand prix while there are also points available for the top three finishers.

A three-part qualifying session will take place on Friday to determine the grid for the sprint race, which means all three days will see competitive action.

Verstappen is the 8/11 favourite to start the race on pole by winning the sprint, with Hamilton priced at 7/4. Their team-mates Perez and Valtteri Bottas are both 12/1 to start Sunday at the front of the grid.

Sainz growing into Ferrari battle

It took a few races for Sainz to feel at home in the Ferrari hot seat after his move from McLaren but the Spaniard is starting to deliver in a car that is off the pace compared to the top teams.

Sainz has finished higher than team-mate Charles Leclerc in the last three races and is available at 23/20 to get the better of the battle once again this weekend.

Ferrari have lost ground in their ‘best of the rest’ fight with McLaren as the British team have opened up a 19-point lead in the standings. Ferrari are 9/4 to have two cars inside the top six at Silverstone while McLaren are 6/4 to do the same in the British Grand Prix betting tips.
