BETTING GUIDE: How the odds are looking ahead of the British Grand Prix

Nine races down in 2023, nine Red Bull victories in the books. Will that trend continue this weekend at the British Grand Prix – or are another driver and team set to take Silverstone by storm? Let’s dig into the odds…

188BET’s odds are presented in decimal form: for every $1 wagered you would win the figure represented by the odds; so, if Verstappen is favourite at 1.50, you would win $1.50 for every dollar bet.

The odds for the win

Unless you’ve been living under a large rock of late, it won’t surprise you to see Max Verstappen heading the odds for who’s most likely to win this weekend. The Dutch driver is on a run of five straight victories at the moment, the most recent coming last weekend at the Red Bull Ring (where he also won the Sprint).

• Max Verstappen 1.30
• Sergio Perez 8.00
• Lewis Hamilton 13.0
• Charles Leclerc, Fernando Alonso 17.0
• George Russell 23.0
• Carlos Sainz 29.0
• Lance Stroll 151
• Lando Norris 201
• Esteban Ocon, Oscar Piastri, Pierre Gasly 301
• Alex Albon, Kevin Magnussen, Logan Sargeant, Nico Hulkenberg, Nyck de Vries, Valtteri Bottas, Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu 601

The odds for who will be fastest in qualifying

You can add four straight poles to Verstappen’s victory tally at the moment. But with Charles Leclerc qualifying just 0.048s adrift of the Red Bull driver in Austria last weekend, the Monegasque – already a pole-sitter this year at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix – is P2 in the running for pole supremacy this weekend.

The odds for fastest lap

Fastest lap honours have been a mixed bag in 2023, with Verstappen, Perez, Russell, Hamilton and even Zhou Guanyu having claimed them this year. Nonetheless, it’s still the championship leader out front, closely followed by Perez, with Leclerc the next best.

• Red Bull 1.16
• Mercedes 8.00
• Ferrari 10.0
• Aston Martin 15.0
