The Grand Prix bandwagon rolls into Hungary this weekend with Jenson Button’s 21 point lead looking more vulnerable by the minute. The Brawn GB team cars looked distinctly second best to Red Bull at the German Grand Prix and with Ferrari and the McLaren also showing improvement this race could throw up a surprise or two.
Sebastien Vettel is joint favourite at 11/4 (Sportingbet) with Button to win at the Hungaroring this weekend. We think the driver who might beat both of them is Vettel’s more senior team mate Mark Webber.
Fresh from his win in Germany Webber can produce another good drive that can notch him maximum points. Webber is 9/2 (Bet365) to land the spoils this weekend and he’s a bet definitely worth considering.
F1 giants Ferrari and McLaren have had horrendous seasons so far , but the last couple of races has seen improvement from both and they might not be too far off the pace this weekend.
Lewis Hamilton at 6/1 (Paddypower) has chances as does his team mate Heikki Kovalainen 33/1 (Stan James) who might be worth a little flutter each/way at that price. They might not quite be up to winning races yet, but Kovalainen at 7/1 (Betfred) and Hamilton at 6/4 (888Sport) to make the podium are bets that have a realistic chance of success.
Ferrari would need to improve as well to be serious challengers, but we have a feeling Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa could be front runners this weekend, or at least a lot closer to the front runners than the have been in the past.
We wouldn’t back either to win the race, but Massa 13/2 (Skybet) and Raikkonen 31/5 (Betfair) to make the podium are both have a fair price and they should be considered.
It still looks likely that Brawn and Red Bull could be to the forefront on Sunday and we’re tipping Webber to come out on top.
The other podium spots could be up for grabs and we’re going to take a chance on backing Kovalainen each/way to finish in the first three at a big price.
Hamilton could take the third spot.
