Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula 1 world champion, was ardent to end his 945-day drought without a win at Silverstone two weeks ago. Qualifying second, he surpassed his Mercedes teammate George Russell on Lap 18, narrowly defeating the three-time reigning world champion Max Verstappen by just 1.465 seconds, securing his 104th career grand prix victory.

Top 2024 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix Predictions
One surprise: The model is not favoring George Russell, forecasting that he barely makes the top five despite being one of the frontrunners. Three weeks ago in Austria, Russell was comfortably in third place and seemed set to achieve just his second podium finish of the season when a late collision between Verstappen and Norris, who were contending for the lead, worked in his favor.
Russell seized the opportunity to claim victory and seemed poised for another excellent finish after securing pole position and a strong start from P1 at the British Grand Prix the following week. However, he was eventually overtaken by Hamilton, both McLarens, and Verstappen, ending his race on Lap 34 due to an apparent water system malfunction.
Now, as he heads to the Hungarian, where he has only managed one podium finish in five career starts (third in 2022), the model is not endorsing him as one of the betting favorites. See more 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix picks right here.
