British Grand Prix Odds, Tips & Predictions

British Formula One fans love nothing more than cheering on a homegrown hero to victory at Silverstone and I think they will do so again – although it will not be Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton loves the Silverstone track, he has won their eight times, while Jim Clark won five British Grand Prix’s, Nigel Mansell won four, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and David Coulthard won it two times each with Tony Brooks, Peter Collins, James Hunt, John Watson, Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert all won it once.

I am making a bold call this weekend, as I am predicting a new British name will be up in lights at Silverstone. I am backing Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate George Russell to secure his first-ever Grand Prix victory.

It is a very bold call considering he has not won a single race and has only been on the podium four times, but sport is a wonderful thing and amazing stuff happens. Why can’t Russell win?

Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez could all crash out or be off the pace, and that is where Russell comes in.

He is definitely the future of British Formula One, so I expect a sea of Russell flags being waved all around Silverstone for their new hero to cross the line in first place.

British Grand Prix Predictions & Tips Circuit Guide

Silverstone first hosted the British Grand Prix back in 1948 and having shared it with Aintree and Brands Hatch for almost 40 years, the Northamptonshire/Buckinghamshire circuit became the sole host of the British leg of the Formula 1 calendar from 1987. The length of the track has shortened over the years, while one of the biggest changes saw officials make the entry from Hangar Straight into Stowe Corner less dangerous following the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola in 1994. There have also been some additions to the circuit to accommodate MotoGP racing, but they have had no effect on the Formula 1 race. Lewis Hamilton surpassed Jim Clark and Alain Prost as the most successful driver in the history of the British Grand Prix when he won his ‘home’ grand prix for the eighth time in his career in 2021.
