This weekend is the British Grand Prix with high chances of rain. Fernando Alonso already did a miracle in Canada with a wet track
It may be the weekend Fernando Alonso I had been waiting so long. The three days in which Formula 1 will roll around the Silverstone track are forecast to rain and as we saw in Canada, things are going very well for the Spaniard when the track gets wet. The engines and aerodynamics stop counting a lot and the pilots’ hands come into play. Verstappen was first, Alonso second and Sainz third in practice ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix two weeks ago.
Adverse conditions suit the Spanish and it could be a weekend to dream. Alonso also has an improvement on the Alpine floor that will make him gain several tenths, while sainz appears with the confidence of having fought face to face with Verstappen in the last race played. Last year Silverstone was the scene of the bitterest controversy in the World Championship when Max and Lewis Hamilton collided in the Copse curve crashing the Dutch against the wall.
That accident set a precedent that made the World Championship more aggressive than ever, being taken advantage of by some drivers to achieve unexpected victories. Ask Esteban Ocon, who caught one to remember at the Hungarian Grand Prix after an imperial defense by Fernando Alonso. For this race, we will not lose sight of a Ferrari team that needs results as soon as possible, seeing that Red Bull has no faults. The main favorite, however, is a Verstappen that is listed at [1.95] ahead of the [1.95][3.00]
It is strikingly striking that the aforementioned Alonso appears as seventh in the bets -behind the Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull- to quota [75.00]while his partner Ocon appears with a fee [250.00] to race winner. Despite the fact that the Frenchman adds more points in the World Cup, no one is oblivious to the fact that the rain can give the two-time Asturian champion options. That he wins the pole, to which he was at the gates in the previous race is a quota pole[50.00]
Among the various options that Betfair gives us for this race, we cannot resist talking about a combination that has all the signs of coming out and that involves three drivers. If Verstappen wins and Leclerc and Checo Pérez finish in the top six, the reward is [3.60]in a market for those who do not want to risk too much. If, on the other hand, we want to try to break the bank, we push you to victory in Carlos Sainz’s race and also a fast lap at odds [76.00]. One day, sooner rather than later, the man from Madrid will release his record of victories. What if the rain at Silverstone gives you that option?
