Bookies point to Hamilton as favourite for Italian Grand Prix

The Italian Grand Prix is just around the corner. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are of course again the favourites for a victory, but the bookmakers' preference goes to the Brit, unlike last week.

The 2021 Formula 1 season will be a constant up and down battle between Hamilton and Verstappen. Every race Red Bull Racing and Mercedes have to work hard to get the best out of their cars, otherwise their rivals will take the points.

At Unibet they see similar odds. Hamilton's win will net you 1.95 times your stake, while Verstappen's victory will net you 2.30. The difference between the two leaders of Red Bull and Mercedes in comparison to their team-mate is quite remarkable. A bet on a victory of Valtteri Bottas (13.00 at Unibet) or Sergio Perez (26.00 at Unibet) can bring a lot of money.

At Unibet you can also bet on the world champion of this season, and there Verstappen has clearly taken the lead. Unibet's odds on Verstappen winning the title are 1.67, while Lewis's are 2.10.
