British Grand Prix

This Sunday will see more than 90,000 Formula 1 betting fans cram into Silverstone to witness one of Britain’s Premier sporting occasions. While there is growing concern over the future of the race being held at Silverstone, thanks mainly to a money dispute between Ernie Ecclestone, boss of F1 and Silverstone’s owners, no-one is betting against this year serving up a real treat to all F1 fans.

Lewis Hamilton and McClaren are in desperate need of the points both in the drivers and constructors championship race. And you can bet there will be such a noise from the crowd if Hamilton wins the British GP.

So much was written and spoken about Hamilton before this season kicked off with many proclaiming he would storm the championship but that really hasn’t happened. In what looks like Second Season Syndrome, Lewis Hamilton has been the victim of his own mistakes this season and the pressures of being a potential F1 championship driver are clearly showing on the 23 year old .

Now, this Sunday, he has a chance to put the dissapointment of the last 2 races behind him and propel himself back into contention for the drivers championship.
