Stephen’s selections: 

Team Classified Drivers – Alpine F1 Team – 1 – Odds 4.5 – 2.5 Points
“How fun was it watching the Alpine drivers go at it in Austria? I think we could be in for that for most of the season as Ocon fights for himself and not the team going forward. Was the line crossed in Austria? Of course, could it get worse this week at Silverstone? 100% and I think one of the cars could DNF due to it!”

Fastest Team Pit Stop – McLaren – Odds 7.0 – 3 Points
“This was my market and selection last season to make money and McLaren at odds 7.0 to take the fastest pit stop for me is worth being one of my main bets of the weekend.”

Fastest Lap – Oscar Piastri – Odds 11.0 – 1.5 Points
“Fastest lap really can be taken by anyone on most weekends as we saw in Austria, you just need to be on the right tyre at the right time. McLaren will be quick again this weekend but I can see Oscar being one of the last to stop for his last set of tyres from the front runners giving him a great chance to add the fastest lap to his race”

Winning Margin – 5 -10 Seconds – Odds 3.75 – 3 Points
“We have had some close racing at the front in recent races. I think we will again this weekend but not too close. A winning gap of between 5 and 10 seconds at 3.75 seems good value for me based on recent race results and what we can expect this weekend”

Luke’s selections:

First Driver to Make a Pit Stop – Valtteri Bottas – Odds 26.0 – 2.5 Points
“Bottas is one of the drivers who seem to pit fairly early usually in a GP and I can see this happening again this weekend, but knowing my recent luck there will be a Turn 1 incident which will make someone else pit first.”

First Driver Retirement – Esteban Ocon – Odds 19.0 – 2.5 Points
“Can history repeat itself for Ocon, after Alpine seem to have sorted some of their issues and are generally performing better, can Ocon find some issues again on his car or potentially get into some early trouble in the race.”

Fastest Team Pit Stop – McLaren – Odds 7.0 – 2.5 Points
“Another week another bet on McLaren to have the fastest pitstop, last weekend they seem to have gotten a bit quicker but can they bring it all at their home race? Could be what wins them a race as it almost did in Austria”

Race Winner – Lewis Hamilton – Odds 17.0 – 2.5 Points
“As Toto neatly put it in Austria, Mercedes are back, do I think they are faster than McLaren and Max Verstappen? Probably not but you never know what could happen, plus Hamilton always performs better at his home race, if the car is good, I am sure Hamilton will extract every millisecond out of that Mercedes”

Ant’s selections: 

First Practice Winning Constructor – Ferrari – Odds 6.0 – 2 Points
“I keep getting that feeling that Ferrari do relatively well in practice 1, even if they go on to have a poor weekend. Anyway this bet and price jumped out at me for some reason so I’m taking it.”

Qualifying Winning Margin – 0.10 to 0.20 seconds – Odds 2.90 – 2 Points “Qualifying has been so much fun this season, and any of the 3 options for this market seem like value odds wise. I like this bet and even if I lose I have a feeling qualifying will be enjoyable.”

Safety Car Period in Race – No – Odds 2.70 – 2 Points
“Assuming race day is dry, I feel like we can get through the race without the need of a safety car. I believe it could be 3 races in a row without one.”

First Constructor Retirement – Aston Martin – Odds 11.0 – 2 Points
“A bet I like making a lot. I have no idea why I think this will come in, but a hunch tells me that Aston Martin may get in to some mechanical issues and have to retire one of the cars (hopefully not Alonso).”

Winning Margin – Over 10 seconds – Odds 1.83 – 2 Points
“This is going to sound boring, but I think Max will run away with the race quite comfortably. So this is my boring bet for a boring outcome that I hope doesn’t actually happen”
