Hungarian Grand Prix odds, preview and free bets: Charles Leclerc favourite to win but Hamilton sits at 10/1 to secure first win
The Formula One world travels to Hungary this weekend for the 14th race of this 2022 season, and the final one before the mid-season break.
Lewis Hamilton has won in Hungary eight times, twice as many as the next best, and will be hoping make it nine wins this weekend for his first win of the season.

The seven time world champion secured his highest finish of the season last weekend in France by crossing the line in second place.
Last week's race marked an improvement from his three consecutive third place finishes in his previous races.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen bagged his seventh race win of the season in Le Castellet on Sunday.
The Dutchman's closest title challenger, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, crashed out last weekend whilst leading the race, leaving the defending world champion to ease home.
Leclerc's retirement from the race and Verstappen's win means the gap between the two now stands at a mammoth 63 points.
Austrian Grand Prix odds
- Charles Leclerc: 6/5
- Max Verstappen: 6/4
- Carlos Sainz: 11/2
- Lewis Hamilton: 10/1
- Sergio Perez: 20/1
- George Russell: 25/1
- Fernando Alonso: 150/1
- Lando Norris: 250/1
Despite crashing out in France, Ferrari's Monegasque driver is the bookies' favourite to achieve his third win of the season on Sunday as the championship heads into its four week summer break.
Leclerc was dominant before his crash on Sunday, starting from pole and maintaining first place until spinning out on lap 18.
The Ferrari driver's failure to pick up any points last weekend means that Verstappen's Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez closed the gap on second place in the drivers' standings to just seven points.
Behind Perez in the standings sits Carlos Sainz in the other Ferrari, 19 points off the front three.
The improving Mercedes pair of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton are closing the gap on the top four, with the former just one point behind Sainz now and the latter 16 points further back.
It will also be the first race to take place since yesterday's announcement that current Aston Martin driver and four-time world champions Sebastian Vettel will retire from the sport at the end of the season.
Alpine's Esteban Ocon was a surprise winner of this race in last year's Championship.
Hungarian Grand Prix podium odds
- Leclerc 1/3
- Verstappen 4/11
- Sainz 8/13
- Hamilton 11/10
- Perez 7/4
- Russell 5/2
- Alonso 20/1
- Norris 20/1
