The F1 season is well underway but there’s still a huge amount of racing to go, but one key change seen so far is George Russell’s success in comparison to Lewis Hamilton’s tough start.

Russell is now 7/4 with Betfair to outscore Hamilton in this campaign and is consistently getting into a decent points finish for Mercedes.

At the Spanish GP Russell also managed a podium finish getting another crucial 15 points and notching vital points in the Constructors title.

It was even suggested by Formula 1 managing director, Ross Brawn that Hamilton could be sacrificing his own races for the greater good of the Mercedes team.

And the odds demonstrate the shift in positions well.
