It takes a rare combination of talent and effort to win a major sporting title, but it requires a particularly unusual quantity of both to defeat all challengers year after year. We’ve looked at some of the champions who maintained the highest level of dominance over a period of 10 years.
Max Verstappen struck a psychological blow when reeling in Lewis Hamilton last weekend and gets the nod again in our Styrian Grand Prix predictions. Mercedes had dominated the previous two runnings of the French Grand Prix but were outpaced all weekend by Red Bull this time.
Max Verstappen made amends for a moderate qualifying effort at Imola with a stylish victory on race day and is rated the man to beat in our Portuguese Grand Prix predictions. The Dutchman got off to a flying start in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and never looked back once moving up from third to first.
With the 2021 Formula One World Championship now under way, we have looked at the numbers behind each circuit in this season’s calendar. We have studied every Grand Prix since the turn of the century up to the end of 2020 and when analysing race data, we have excluded any venue which has hosted fewer than five events.
Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest achievements in the history of motorsport when the first – and to date only – driver won the Triple Crown. Here we break down exactly what that means and whether the feat can ever be repeated.

Lewis Hamilton’s absence has forced a major shake-up in the Sakhir Grand Prix odds and we’re backing teammate Valtteri Bottas to take advantage. The flying Finn has claimed two wins this season and finished second behind Hamilton on five other occasions, so this is an obvious pick in our book.
Racing Point have made good progress this year and we’re backing the Silverstone-based team to fare well in our German Grand Prix predictions. Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez are eighth and ninth in the Formula 1 drivers’ championship, with just one point separating them after eight races.
As the world of sport continues to recover from the disruption of the first wave of COVID-19 that brought it to a virtual halt in the Spring, we’ve picked out five major sports and looked at how they responded, with regards to making changes to this year’s sporting calendar.
With Ferrari gearing up for their 1,000th race, we’re offering some sentimental support for Sebastian Vettel in our Tuscan Grand Prix predictions. The four-time world champ is going through a tough break-up from the Italian team but has still scored points in four of this year’s eight contests.
Lewis Hamilton is hard to oppose in the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix odds but a prohibitive price means we are looking at other betting markets for more value. Top of our list is 9/10 for McLaren driver Carlos Sainz to finish in the first six at Silverstone this weekend.
