Who’s favourite to win the 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix? How about the favourite to take pole position? Here are the latest odds for the third race of the 2020 season, as provided by 188BET.COM…

The odds for the third race of the season are in decimal form. They show what you'd win for every $1 wagered, so, as Lewis Hamilton's odds of winning the race are 1.65, you would win $1.65 for betting $1 on him if he does take the victory.

What are the odds for the win

Lewis Hamilton is favourite for victory in Hungary, but Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen have odds of 4.00 and 4.50 to win – an attractive proposition perhaps given how strong Max was at the same circuit last year.

Hungary has a history of delivering maiden wins for the likes of Damon Hill, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso, so would you take a punt on Alex Albon or Sergio Perez pulling off a shock victory this time around?

What are the odds for a podium finish?

Five different drivers have reached the podium in the last two races: Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.
