Stephen’s selections: 

First Driver to make a Pit Stop – Esteban Ocon – Odds 26.0 – 1.5 Points
“This is not happening as Luke have him to retire first and he will not be able to pit first as he will be upside down”

Fastest Team Pitstop – McLaren – Odds 5.0 – 2.5 Points
“I decided to jump on Luke’s bandwagon on this bet after he jumped on my bandwagon from last season”

Fastest Lap Winner – Sergio Perez – Odds 11.0 – 2.5 Points
“Not sure what I am thinking here as McLaren or Mercedes will be getting the fastest lap this weekend and Perez will be trying to fight his way into the points from the back after a bad qualifying again”

Winning Margin – 5-10 Seconds – Odds 3.0 – 3.5 Points
“Racing is going to be close in Hungary as it has been in the last few races and the winning margin will be either under 5 seconds or over 10 seconds, might as well just give me a -10 for the week”

Luke’s selections:

First Driver to Make a Pitstop – Valtteri Bottas – Odds 26.0 – 2.5 Points
“Kick have a habit on being one of the first to pit and I think the odds on this seem quite good especially with Bottas having some history in getting some 1st lap damage here”

First Driver Retirement – Esteban Ocon – Odds 21.0 – 2.5 Points
“Alpine last time out had some issues with Gasly’s car and retired his car due to some gearbox issues and I see Alpine have another oopsie with reliability or Ocon getting into an early collision and retire early”

Fastest Team Pitstop – McLaren – Odds 5.0 – 2.5 Points
“I am going to stay on this bet until it hits gold. Am I losing every week on this? Yes but am I losing hope? maybe a bit but I still believe that McLaren can pull this one off.”

Top 10 finish – Nico Hulkenberg – Odds 2.10 – 2.5 Points
“Hulkenberg is on a great streak and this should be my safe bet so I won’t be at a complete loss at the end of the weekend, but watch me jinx this for Hulkenberg and ends up being the first driver to make a pitstop while retiring his car to make sure I lose all my bets”

Ant’s selections: 

First Practice Winning Constructor – McLaren – Odds 3.40 – 2 Points
“McLaren have been strong lately and should have won the British Grand Prix in my opinion. I think Hungary could be a showcase for how quick they are, and I expect both Norris and Piastri to be on form from the very start.”

Qualifying Winner – Lando Norris – Odds 4.50 – 2 Points
“Continuing from the previous bet, I expect Norris to fight Verstappen, and win, over the qualifying session. And when you beat Verstappen you often end up taking pole position.”

Will there be a Safety Car and a Virtual Safety Car Period during Race? – Yes – Odds 5.0 – 2 Points
“This bet is more about me hoping for chaos during the race. It should be a dry race, but there’s a part of me that thinks mistakes could be made this weekend and we’ll see a lot of action.”

Car to Set the Fastest lap – McLaren – Odds 4.30 – 2 Points
“Still continuing my theme of McLaren dominance this weekend. The odds are generous so I thought this would be worth a punt.”

Team Classified Drivers – Red Bull – 1 – Odds 5.0 – 2 Points
“I predict that Red Bull will have a difficult time this weekend. And it may not be Perez who actually ends up retiring. Max Verstappen has been so dominant for so long, however, it feels like things are not quite right at Red Bull. He may make a mistake that costs him dearly… Or it could predictably be Perez, in which case my bet still wins”
