Our Recommended Bets

George Russell to win – 1.5 pts E/W at 12/1. Cooler, potentially wet conditions should bring Mercedes back into contention, and the Briton is desperate to impress on home soil.

Kimi Antonelli fastest qualifier – 1.5 pts E/W at 66/1. The rookie’s raw one lap speed plus prior F2 success at Silverstone make him a live outsider if he strings the lap together.

How To Bet On Formula 1

Check out some popular bets you could use your free bets on this weekend at Silverstone!

Race winner / podium – straightforward but volatile; qualifying position and long run pace data are key.

Top 6 / points finishes – lower odds but steadier; ideal for using free bets.

Head to head match ups – back one driver to beat another; study average lap times and pit stop strategy.

Fastest lap – often secured late on fresh tyres; watch for midfield runners pitting near the end.

In running markets – safety car timing and weather shifts make live betting lucrative; Betfair Exchange excels here.


Quick Tips for Betting on the Formula 1

Mind the weather: Silverstone forecasts rain – back adaptable drivers/teams.

Qualifying is half the battle: place outrights after Saturday for a clearer view of which cars are performing well
