F1 qualifying predictions: Silverstone set for an upset

by Lea

A sensational upset compared to what happened last year in Hamilton’s homeland. Yes, it was the seven-time world champion, now at Ferrari, who won at home. But this year, it will be nothing more than an emotional weekend for him, due to the fact that he will be surrounded by his fans.

Not even pole position is in question, judging by the times we have seen in recent weeks and what we saw in Austria last weekend. Lando Norris won in his McLaren and wants to continue doing so to stay close to his teammate Oscar Piastri and continue to chip away at his lead in the world championship. There was never any doubt, never a moment when it felt like the Grand Prix could have ended differently. And what we saw confirms one thing: this year, there is very little chance that Red Bull, in particular, will be able to close the gap.
Ah, speaking of Red Bull: Verstappen is reportedly being targeted by Mercedes for next year. The seat to be taken would be Russell’s, alongside Antonelli.

So, as we were saying. Pole position is a done deal. A duel is expected between Norris and Piastri, with the former, being on top form and at an important moment in his career and in the World Championship, starting as the favorite. According to GoldBet odds, the drivers in question are neck and neck: 2.75 times the stake.
But as we said, we have a favorite, and he is currently second in the world standings and coming off a victory in Austria.

Verstappen is well ahead, as expected, even though the four-time world champion is listed at 4.50 times the stake. Russell is quoted at 9, while Leclerc is at 16. In fact, but this is not entirely new, Hamilton in pole position is worth 26 times the stake. It is therefore impossible to see the Ferrari driver in the front rows. Unfortunately, we now understand how things stand.
