The odds for the win

They are so evenly matched in the championship, but this weekend Verstappen and Hamilton come to a circuit that is something of an unknown. This Grand Prix at Zandvoort is, of course, the first at the venue since 1985 and whoever wins here will become the 20th to do so at this circuit.

• Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton 2.10

The odds for who will be fastest in qualifying

Verstappen now has double the amount of poles as Hamilton in 2021, with six to his rival's three so far this season. The Dutchman's latest pole was in Belgium, where Hamilton qualified third on the grid.

So where does that leave the championship protagonists in the fight for top in qualifying? Well, the odds say they're level, while shock front row starter at Spa George Russell is a long shot to go one better and take pole at Zandvoort...

And back in the British GP it was Sergio Perez who set the fastest lap, the Red Bull driver having been pulled into the pits late on to pull out a rapid tour of Silverstone and deny Hamilton an extra point.
