Simon Dalton presents his prediction bets on the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.
It seems that fans were right about Max Verstappen. In the Hungarian round instead of cool, talented champion, he was a bold and controversial junior, who refused to give up his position even after a clear rule breach, then he dived into the most dangerous overtakes with heavy braking, causing contact.
However, besides Max’s emotions, Red Bull’s main problem was McLaren’s amazing pace, which should be even better on Belgium’s long straights. So betting on Verstappen to win the upcoming Grand Prix is quite risky.
As for Lewis’ chances of a podium finish, we must admit that Mercedes hasn’t achieved a consistent straight-line speed yet. The last race showed that Max can catch Hamilton on any tires, not to mention Piastri and Norris.
That’s why this time it's worth looking at odds on the fastest cars to win, and also on Max acting professionally and securing a podium finish.
