Trends to guide your Betting Strategy

There are a few exciting things that we need to watch out for in the upcoming Hungarian GP.

1. Tires play an important role at the Hungarian GP, last year it was the wrong tire selection that cost Charles Leclerc a win and it was the correct tire selection that helped Max Verstappen make his way through the field.

2. Lewis Hamilton knows this track very well and has always had his best performances here, can he show up and get another podium?

3. Do McLaren have a car that can challenge for the Podium this weekend? McLarens had a great run at the previous two tracks, but how will they perform on a track with more curves and less straights?

4. Can Aston Martin make his way back on the Podium? Many say that the Track in Hungaroring is similar to the one in Monaco, and therefore give Aston Martin an advantage to fight for Podium.

5. Will Daniel Ricciardo have the biggest surprise this weekend and can he outperform Yuki Tsunoda? Keep in mind that Ricciardo has not driven an Alpha Tauri during his time as reserve driver for Red Bull, and that the Alpha Tauri car is not performing better than other cars.

Who will end up on the Podium with Max Verstappen?

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
Lando Norris, McLaren
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin

Race Prediction #1:

Max Verstappen To Win

Max Verstappen lost pole position to Lewis Hamilton by 0.003s. He has struggled during practice to consistently have a good lap, and at the end it did not work out during Qualification. However, during several interviews Max Verstappen claims that the car is performing even better with the new upgrades, and that he just has to find his rhythm. We believe that it will be down to the first corner or I give him less than 10 laps for him to catch up with Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen will win the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Race Prediction #2:

Lewis Hamilton Podium Finish

Lewis Hamilton had an incredible Q3 and was able to clinch Pole position with 0.003s ahead of rivalry Max Verstappen. This was his 104th pole position in his career and has always had a great run at this track. We believe that this weekend will be no different for him and will most certainly give Max a nice battle for first. However, at the end the Red Bull car is so powerful that Max will end up passing Lewis on the long run, but Lewis can still defend his position on the Podium.

Race Prediction #3:

Lando Norris Top 6 Finish

If there was any doubt that the McLaren just had a lucky streak in the past 2 races, it now surely shows that they are back! This is the third race that we can see Lando in the Front and second race that Oscar Piastry is right behind him. We will finally have a nice battle for the podium, and we cannot discount the McLaren's out. I believe that this prediction could easily be both McLaren's in the top 6 finish. The car is looking great and they have been consistent in the past three races! Lando Norris will surely make it in the top 6.

Race Prediction #4:

George Russell Points Finish

George Russell had a bad qualification today and missed out off Q1. However, this does not mean he is not able to fight back his way in to the points. They don't call him Mr. Consistency for no reason, he always manages to have a clean race and usually ends up in top 6. This week he has to catch up, but I see two scenarios happening where either strategy will help him or a combination of the powerful car and racing will push him into the points.
