The Formula 1 season heads to the Hungarian Grand Prix, where the betting market is remarkably open, with Kimi Antonelli installed as the favourite.
Antonelli has emerged as the standout driver, leading the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship after an impressive victory at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, and his impressive season is reflected in Hungarian GP betting markets.
With Neds offering odds for the Hungarian Grand Prix, we’ve analysed the market to identify the best betting value. While Antonelli deserves his place at the top of the betting, our Hungarian GP tips and predictions suggest he could be vulnerable this weekend, with Ferrari well placed to challenge for victory.

Race Winner
Charles Leclerc showed last week just how close he can get to Antonelli when his car performs. He had some tough results earlier this season, but he’s back in the title race following a win at the British GP and a second-placed finish at the Belgian GP last week.
He was only 1.92 seconds behind Antonelli in a thrilling finish, and although finishing behind the Mercedes car doesn’t help his title chances, it proves that his car is fast enough to keep up.
Leclerc is a quality driver, and that’s reflected in F1 odds. He’s on the second line of betting at $5 with Neds, and those odds are likely to firm after qualifying. We expect the Ferrari cars to enjoy conditions in Hungary, as they have in the past, and Leclerc could be the man for the job.

Podium Finish
The odds aren’t huge for Antonelli to finish on the podium, but he’s an excellent multi-bet addition this weekend.
The young Italian is enjoying an amazing second year at Formula 1, and it’s incredible to think what he has achieved at just 19 years of age. Of course, he has the fastest car, but he’s also a superior technical driver compared to many of his fellow drivers.
Antonelli has six wins and eight podium finishes from the first 10 rounds, so the $1.44 odds are generous considering his record. He has an 80% podium finish record, and the current odds for a top-three finish are relatively good value considering he’s $2.75 to win the race outright.

Top 6 Finish
Isack Hadjar has been enjoying a strong and consistent season, securing top-six finishes in each of his last five Grand Prix races. After finishing fourth in Monaco, he followed it up with sixth-place finishes in Spain and Austria.
The 21-year-old continued his impressive run at the British GP, moving up to fifth before claiming another sixth-place finish last week. Given his current form, he looks like a strong contender for another top-six result. His performances speak for themselves, and with more experience behind the wheel, he is only expected to continue improving.
Finishing sixth in such a competitive race is no easy feat, and he may need one of the leading seven drivers to encounter trouble to secure the result. However, his car has been performing well, and the $2.10 odds for a top-six finish represent value.
Isack Hadjar Top 6 @ $2.10
Points Finish
Liam Lawson didn’t come away with any points at the Belgian GP, which hurts his season big time. However, the Kiwi is set to bounce back with a better showing at the Hungarian GP this weekend.
The 24-year-old, who drives for Racing Bulls, secured points at the British GP, Austrian GP, and Spanish GP, so he was driving well before finishing 12th last week. He was having problems with his car, but he has done well to bounce back from failure this year.
It hasn’t been an easy few years for Lawson in Formula 1. He often battles to keep his spot on the team, but he is a quality driver for a team that doesn’t have the best-performing cars, so he’s doing well.
The $1.50 odds for a points finish are worth including in F1 multi bets this week.
