Belgian Grand Prix

The 2013 F1 Belgian Grand Prix betting should produce some pretty interesting options. Teams will get a bit of a chance to collect themselves following the Hungarian Grand Prix, which was won by Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes before the running of Belgian event. The rise to his first ever win in the Mercedes for the former World Champion Hamilton, was seen as a bit of a shake up on the season. For the Belgian Grand Prix which will be running on August 25th, 2013, Hamilton will now be seen by many as the main challenger to the dominance of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel for the season. But with punters picking up some new interest in the English driver to push forward for the F1 Drivers Championship title, it may be worth only focusing on the races at hand and not looking that far ahead.

The form and prowess of Red Bull's three time World Champion Vettel cannot be overlooked of course. From the opening ten races of the season, Vettel only failed to make it onto the podium in three of them. So it is unlikely that over the remainder of the season he is going to be so far out of the points that he is going to lose his grip on his chase for his fourth world title in a row. Heading to the Belgian Grand Prix, Vettel was holding a 48 point over Hamilton in the standings, and wedged between Vettel and Hamilton, there was still the presences of Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso as well, who had the jump on Hamilton in the points standing.

Granted, Hamilton has been pushing his way further and further into contention, taking Pole Positions and the win at the Hungaroring should have been a tremendous boost of confidence for himself and the Mercedes team. So focus should be on him taking race wins, or even podium finishes before looking at him taking the F1 Drivers Championship, which is still a very long shot. Hamilton is a previous winner of the Belgian Grand Prix, taking the chequered flag first in 2010. Given the form that he carries forward from Hungary, he may be well worth backing. But heading to the next race of the 2013 season, it is German driver Vettel who is still heading the field for Hungary.

Vettel, just like Hamilton is a previous winner of the Belgian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver won in 2011 and he took second place last season in the race. So it is unlikely that he will be too far away from a win in the next edition, because he has the car and he has the team behind him to get close. Vettel will be strong in the Pole Position and Outright Winner markets for the 2013 F1 Belgian Grand Prix. The other name who should be in the mix will be Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen who has started to come back into form. The Finnish driver has a tremendous record at the race as well, taking the title four times in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009, so he has a great affinity with the course. The Lotus could be the one to spring a surprise here.
