Since Max Verstappen won his first F1 World Championship in an epic battle for the ages with Lewis Hamilton, we have been waiting to see another rivalry of that magnate emerge.
Verstappen has pulled away from the pack and made a habit of winning that no other driver looks capable of challenging.

My 2024 Formula 1 British Grand Prix Analysis
There are signs, though, that a rivalry might be about to form, with Lando Norris suddenly in the crosshairs of the champion after they collided in Austria in the last race.
The upshot of that incident was that Verstappen had to settle for 5th, allowing George Russell to go on and get the win.
It is now Verstappen and Norris who are 1st and 2nd in the driver standings at the moment, although the gap is still rather large.
This weekend, they will take to the iconic Silverstone track to have another go, so let’s take a look at the current Formula 1 odds for the 2024 British Grand Prix.
^Max Verstappen F1 Betting Lines -176
By this time last season, Verstappen had already won 9 races and was well on his way to another world championship win.
This season, he is not that far off the pace, winning 7 races to this point. While he has been winning consistently, his lead at the top is just 81 points, which is, to be honest, more than a little comfortable.
You have to go back quite some time to find the last time that Verstappen failed to win in back-to-back races, but there is reason to believe that it might happen this weekend.
The British Grand Prix was a race that had eluded Verstappen his entire career until he eventually won it last year. Still, it is tough to ever bet against him.
^Lando Norris F1 Betting Lines +256
Norris saw his great run of form come to an end in Austria, where, as we mentioned earlier, he had a bit of a collision with Verstappen.
He ended up finishing 20th in that race, which brought to an end an 8-race run where he had not finished worse than 5th.
If he is to keep pace with the champ and actually make this championship battle interesting, he needs to finish ahead of Verstappen this weekend.
Norris finished 2nd in this race last year and looks like a good bet to be on the podium again this time around.

Other Drivers to Consider
If we are to assume that Verstappen and Norris will end up on the podium, which does indeed seem likely, we have to try and figure out who else will land in the top 3.
^Oscar Piastri F1 Betting Lines +1375
This is just the second full season in Formula 1 for him, but he is already proving to be a driver to watch in the future.
He has only been on the podium twice this season, but he has also landed in the top 5 in 4 other races.
Piastri finished 4th in this race last season, so he could be worth a top 3 wager.
^George Russell F1 Betting Lines +1500
Another driver to look at, who is racing in his home nation and coming off a win in Austria.
He is sure to be on a high after that win and could be a factor here.
