Watch the weather at Silverstone
Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone promises to be a decent betting event with plenty of patriotic support for Lewis Hamilton. There will be plenty of interest in the 5/2 on Hamilton to win although there could be better value elsewhere.
One bet I might be tempted to have now rather than later is for the number of finishers to be under 15.5 on BetUK. Last year in the dry there were only six retirements out of 22, but a quick glance at the weather forecast tells us that there is a 60% chance of rain on race day which if it comes during the race will cause plenty of problems. Standing water and no traction control well lead to spins and crashes, which in the circumstances could make the even money price pretty attractive.
