F1 British Grand Prix 2024 preview, betting tips & race odds
The F1 World Championship continues this weekend as we head to Silverstone for the 2024 British Grand Prix.
Returning to the traditional format, Practice 1 begins at 9:30pm AEST on Friday, July 5, with the main race commencing at 12am on Monday, July 8.
Last Sunday in Austria, it was one of the most exciting races of the season. Fighting for the win, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren’s Lando Norris collided with less than 10 laps to go, handing victory to Mercedes’ George Russell. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz rounded out the podium, while Verstappen ended up in fifth place.
With 237 points, Verstappen still holds a substantial lead over the chasing pack, while Norris (156) is locked in a battle with Ferrari pair Charles Leclerc (150) and Sainz (135).
2024 British Grand Prix odds
As last year’s winner at the track, it is no surprise to see Verstappen as the favourite. However, the McLarens are closing in, with Norris offering the shortest odds for any non-Red Bull driver this year.
The Ferraris have dropped off the pace in the last month, while Mercedes have had both cars finish inside the top four in each of the last three races. The remaining cars offer more value for a top-six or points finish.
- Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – $1.57
- Lando Norris (McLaren) – $3.50
- Oscar Piastri (McLaren) – $15
- George Russell (Mercedes) – $17
- Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) – $19
- Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) – $26
- Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) – $34
- Sergio Perez (Red Bull) – $51
- Kevin Magnussen (Haas) – $251
- Nico Hulkenburg (Haas) – $251
