Hungarian Grand Prix Preview: Who Will Win?

The Hungarian Grand Prix is set to be another exciting race, and we have taken a look at all of the data to work out if Leclerc can take advantage of pole position or will the McLarens fight it out?

McLaren had dominated all week, but they seemed to struggle in the windy conditions of Q3 while Charles Leclerc was able to put in the perfect lap to secure pole.

With rain predicted leading up to the race, it could be windy and provide similar conditions to qualifying but will that be enough for Charles?

We have three bets that we think will provide you with a nice profit in this race.

Trifecta / Tricast

We’re very keen to take the odds with Piastri, Norris & Leclerc to finish in the top 3.

These three drivers have had a clear gap on the rest of the field this week and we expect no different here.

The question is will it be Piastri or Lando in first place and we’re happy to have two bets covering both equations


Race Win & Fastest Lap

It is likely that if Oscar can swoop past Charles into the first turn, he will go on to control the race, which should allow him to then control the pace, and with the clear pace advantage, we expect him to take the fastest lap


Fastest Lap

We would like to cover the bet above by taking Lewis Hamilton at huge odds.

He is out of position and may look to fit the hard tyres early and run long and in doing so, leave a brand new set of soft tyres for the final run home.
