Although Max Verstappen and Red Bull continue to be the favorites to win races and lift the driver and constructor championship trophies, Formula 1 has suddenly become a competitive auto racing league.

Will the Mercedes drivers keep it going? Is Hungary where Verstappen bounces back? How will the McLaren drivers perform?

Top Pick to Win the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

Lando Norris, nor Oscar Piastri, has won a race for McLaren since Lando crossed the line first at the Miami Grand Prix on May 5. But although Norris hasn’t won, he’s continued to drive well.

In the last three races, Norris has a second in Spain and a third at the British Grand Prix. We must throw out Norris’s performance at the Austrian Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri finished second in Austria, which tells us the McLaren cars are in top shape. Give Lando the nod to grab the checkered flag.

Second Pick to Win the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen drove well enough at the British Grand Prix to finish second behind winner Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen finished fifth in Austria.

So there was improvement from the Austria GP to the British GP. Before Austria and Britain, Max had won at both the Canadian Grand Prix and the Spanish Grand Prix. For sure, Verstappen could pull off another F1 win. Also, the odds aren’t bad on Formula 1’s most dominant driver. But it feels like Mercedes, McLaren, and even Ferrari have closed the gap with Red Bull. So we’re picking Verstappen second.

Third Pick to Win the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

George Russell finished fourth in Spain and won the Austrian Grand Prix. He was the top choice to win the British Grand Prix but ended up crossing the line in nineteenth.

A bounced back is for certain and the way that the Mercedes cars have been going lately, George should have a chance for a podium spot. He’s not the top pick, but if you believe Mercedes continues their ascension, rolling the dice on Russell makes sense.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix

Carlos Sainz was terrific in Austria. The fourth pick in the Hungarian Grand Prix finished third behind George Russell and second place finisher Oscar Piastri.

In Britain, Carlos finished fifth, 47 seconds behind winner Lewis Hamilton. In auto racing 47 seconds a massive amount of time. So we don’t expect Sainz to win the race on Sunday. However, Ferrari has surprised this season already. So if you think Carlos gets it done, know the odds are more than fair.
