2025 British Grand Prix predictions & F1 betting tips
Lewis Hamilton to finish on the podium - 11/4 BetVictor
After winning in Austria last weekend, Lando Norris has his sights set on victory in his home race at Silverstone as the battle for the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship heats up.
The Brit closed the gap on his McLaren teammate and world championship leader, Oscar Piastri, to just 15 points with his third win of the season so far at the Red Bull Ring.
Betting sites reacted to Norris's win by trimming his F1 odds to win the Drivers' title and he's among the favourites to take rthe chequered flag on Sunday.
Fellow Brits George Russell and Lewis Hamilton would also love a victory on home turf, but it's tough to imagine Hamilton repeating his emotional 2024 victory at Silverstyone, his first win at the track in three years.
Since moving to Ferrari, things haven't quite gone according to plan, with the seven-time champion picking up just 91 points and so far failing to finish on the podium.
His former Mercedes teammate is doing a bit better, though, with a win in Canada and podium finishes in Miami, Bahrain, China and Australia. He doesn't have the best of records at Silverstone, though with two retirements in his last three visits.
Piastri will also be desperate to taste victory again to reaffirm his place at the top of the Drivers' Championship with a sixth win of the season.
F1 betting sites are all backing Norris for the win at 7/4, just ahead of Piastri at 9/5 and Verstappen at 5/1.
Reigning champion Verstappen didn't finish in Austria last weekend, bringing an end to a 31-race points streak. His last retirement before then was also on the first lap, at Silverstone in 2021, when he was also hit by a Mercedes.
Verstappen is already 61 points behind Piastri at the top of the Drivers' Championship and has been on the podium at five of the first 11 races this year.
He has history at Silverstone, winning in 2023, ahead of Norris and Hamilton, but that's his sole victory at the Northamptoshire track.
It's hard to see past the McLaren's winning again, and Norris has shown with back-to-back podium finishes at this track in the last two years that he has the measure of Silverstone.
British Grand Prix prediction 1: Lando Norris to win - 7/4 William Hill
Things are definitely looking up for Ferrari with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finishing third and fourth, respectively, in Austria.
They are expected to have another rear suspension upgrade for the Belgian Grand Prix, at the end of the month, but they should have some confidence going into this weekend's race.
Hamilton is starting to appear more confident and comfortable with his car, which we know has the pace because his teammate has managed four podium finishes, including second place in Monaco.
He has won eight of the last 11 British Grand Prix's though, so if he is going to turn his season around, this could be the race to do it.
British Grand Prix prediction 2: Lewis Hamilton to finish on the podium - 11/4 BetVictor

Tennis Fans Want Wimbledon Reporter Banned For 'Unprofessional' Question
Tennis Fans Want Wimbledon Reporter Banned For 'Unprofessional' Question originally appeared on The Spun. For the second time in the past week, the media has made a truly bizarre remark about Emma Raducanu. Advertisement Following a straight-sets victory over Matteo Bellucci on Friday, Cam Norrie spoke to the media about his performance. He seems fairly comfortable on the grass, which isn't a surprise considering he made the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2022. Unfortunately for Norrie, his press conference was overshadowed by a ridiculous question from an unidentified reporter. "Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating," a reporter asked Norrie. "Can I ask if you're dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?" Norrie initially replied, "Sorry?" Instead of getting the hint, the reporter once again asked him about Raducanu's love life. Advertisement "I'm trying to find out who's dating Emma Raducanu," the reporter continued. "It seems to be going around all the men's singles. I was wondering if you're dating her, please?" Norrie, who is in a relationship with Louise Jacobi, handled that awful question like a total pro. "I'm not [dating Raducanu]. No. You can ask her though," Norrie said. Cam Norrie gets asked about Emma Raducanu's personal Tennis fans were understandably disturbed by this reporter's question. Some fans are calling for this reporter to receive a lifetime ban from Wimbledon. "This is so absurd that not even 'Tennis Centel' could come up with it," one fan said. "Embarrassing that this is what an actual journalist would think of let alone come up with for a question in a press conference." Advertisement "That reporter needs to be banned," a second fan declared. "What an absolutely disgusting question! The private lives of players are none of our business. Why do sports journalists continue to humiliate themselves," a third fan wrote. "Whoever asked that question should be banned for life from the Tournament," another fan commented. Just a week ago, Raducanu was basically asked if she's dating two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz. "There's been lots of chatter online about your friendship with Carlos," a reporter asked. "Is there any truth behind the rumors?" Raducanu replied, "We're just good friends." Advertisement While we understand there's plenty of hype surrounding Raducanu, reporters shouldn't be asking about her personal life. There's no place for that type of behavior.

Wimbledon set for another new women's winner after Barbora Krejcikova exit
A new name will be on the Wimbledon women's title for the eighth successive tournament after defending champion Barbora Krejcikova and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina were knocked out in the third round. Krejcikova had her blood pressure taken on court during a medical timeout in the deciding set of her 2-6 6-3 6-4 loss to 10th seed Emma Navarro. Advertisement The 29-year-old Czech player appeared visibly distressed for the remainder of the match. She was frequently bent over with her hands on her knees before being in tears at the back of the court ahead of the final two games. Not since Serena Williams lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish for the seventh and final time in 2016 has a female former champion triumphed in SW19. In contrast, there have only been five different winners of the men's competition – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Carlos Alcaraz – during the past 22 years. Rybakina earlier suffered a rain-delayed 7-6 (6) 6-3 upset against 22-year-old Dane Clara Tauson. Elena Rybakina was beaten by Clara Tauson (Ben Whitley/PA) The 11th seed made 31 unenforced errors across the contest, including sending a straightforward forehand long on match point. Advertisement Tauson's reward for one of the biggest wins of her career is a last-16 meeting with five-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek, who beat Danielle Collins in straight sets. Teenage seventh seed Mirra Andreeva awaits Navarro after she rushed into round four with a straight-sets win over American world number 55 Hailey Baptiste. With inclement conditions temporarily halting play on the outer courts, the 18-year-old Russian cruised to a 6-1 6-3 victory under the Court One roof. Aside from world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who overcame Britain's Emma Raducanu on Friday evening, Andreeva is the highest seeded player remaining in the women's draw following a series of upsets across week one. Advertisement Liudmila Samsonova joins compatriot Andreeva in the second week after hitting a monster serve of 128 miles per hour in her 6-2 6-3 victory over Daria Kasatkina. Samsonova's effort was just short of the Wimbledon women's record of 129mph – set by Venus Williams in 2008. Kasatkina, who switched allegiance from Russia to Australia earlier this year after publicly criticising her country's LGBTQ+ laws and the war in Ukraine, trailed 6-2 2-0 when play was temporarily halted by rain and could not mount a comeback.
