F1 British Grand Prix Predictions, Best Bets & Race Winner Odds at Silverstone

• Don’t overthink it: This week’s free square is obvious.
• Race pace, not qualifying pace, is driving this betting card.

Yesterday was the Fourth of July.

Today is the Fifth of July.

That’s the day we all pretend eating three hot dogs, half a watermelon and enough potato salad to feed a Little League team was somehow part of a balanced diet.

Fortunately, Formula 1 starts at 10 a.m. ET, giving us the perfect excuse to spend Sunday morning on the couch while we “recover.”

Silverstone has a habit of rewarding race pace more than qualifying pace. Tire management, strategy and keeping the rubber pointed in the right direction through Maggots and Becketts usually matter far more than one perfect lap on Saturday.

That’s exactly what we’re betting on this weekend.

Kimi Antonelli starts from pole after dominating the Sprint, while Ferrari lines up right behind him with Charles Leclerc in second and Lewis Hamilton in third. Our model still believes Mercedes has the quickest race car over a full Grand Prix distance, and a handful of midfield matchups offer some of the best value on the board.

Let’s get into the plays.

F1 British Grand Prix Predictions & Best Bets

George Russell over Lewis Hamilton (-115 at theScore Bet)

Kimi Antonelli will likely dog walk the field if he gets away cleanly.

It’s hard to argue otherwise. Antonelli has won five of the last eight Grands Prix, stalked Lewis Hamilton through the first half of Saturday’s Sprint before making the winning pass, then backed it up by claiming pole position a few hours later.

George Russell hasn’t matched Antonelli’s pace this weekend, but that’s hardly an indictment. Nobody has.

Russell starts fourth while Hamilton rolls off third, yet our model projects Russell to finish one position ahead. We believe Mercedes has the quicker race car over a full Grand Prix distance, and this number isn’t asking Russell to beat Antonelli.

It’s asking him to beat Hamilton.

At -115, that’s a bet we’re happy to make.
