Louis Bollard expects more from Fernando Alonso on Sunday while Sergio Perez can also finish with a flourish in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Formula One betting tips: Hungarian Grand Prix
1pt e.w. Sergio Perez (without Verstappen) at 10/1 (bet365 1/3 1,2)
1pt Fernando Alonso for a podium finish at 7/1 (bet365)
Perez can prove best of the rest
"I'd say that’s how Red Bull works" was Lewis Hamilton's response to Daniel Riccardo's surprise return in place of Nyck De Vries and the performance of Riccardo in out-qualifying an already overperforming Yuki Tsunoda will send shockwaves to the number two side of the Red Bull garage.
Even though he made it into Q3, SERGIO PEREZ will be disappointed with his qualifying position. Perez is under pressure to perform now and he has the opportunity to do so where his main strength lies, race pace.
The Red Bull is still the quickest car and the upgrades are thought to have brought and additional two-tenths per lap to their performance. The heatwave conditions in Budapest will hurt the McLarens and Ferrari ahead of him giving him a run at being second to his teammate.
Given that he is odds-on to reach the podium, the 10/1 each-way for him to win this market represents value.
Alonso worth a bet for podium run
This is one of the tracks Aston Martin have been eyeing up since the season started. Back in March, they thought they would have the better of Red Bull in Hungary and while this is unrealistic now, it shows the confidence they have for this car in slow corners.
Even though they won't win the race, I will be backing FERNANDO ALONSO to get a podium. The extreme heat forecast for the race will play into the hands of the Aston Martin which is kind on its tyres and deals with hot temperatures well.
The flexibility on strategy he will gain from superior tyre management can give him a shot at the top three at a big price.
