The final British Grand Prix to be held at Silverstone before the move to Donnington Park fittingly has a Brit in contention to win the race. Jenson Button, having won six out of seven races this season is favourite to win the race at 5/6. Unfortunately, the chances of having two Brits on the podium are slim, Lewis Hamilton is currently a 66/1 outsider for the race.

It is not, however, a fore gone conclusion. Vettel and Weber are both extremely competitive drivers and are keeping Red Bull in the race to keep up with the Brawns. The two Red Bull drivers are far closer together with just one and a half points separating the two. Vettel can be backed at 5/1 and Webber at 11/1 to win the race and you can be sure that both drivers will be relishing the chance to make the most of any mistakes by the Brawns.

Despite being 5/6 for the race, Button is 7/4 for pole, now having won twice from further down the grid. Meanwhile, Vettel is 9/4 for pole, having performed well in previous qualifiers. Therefore, if you fancy Button, it might be worth backing him for pole and if you want to back Vettel, 5/1 for the race seems far more generous than 9/4 for pole.

There are also plenty of other markets to look at, including winner without Button, fastest lap and first car to retire. To look at all the formula one markets click here.
