Sky Sports F1 analyst Johnny Herbert has cast his eye over the Sky Bet odds for this weekend's US GP.

Lewis Hamilton could become the first Briton to successfully defend his World Drivers' Championship title with victory in Sunday's US Grand Prix.

After successfully tipping Hamilton to win in Russia, Herbert expects the Mercedes driver to maintain his winning record at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday, but thinks nearest challenger could nail the fastest lap.

Johnny Herbert gives his Sky Bet predictions for this weekend's US GP here

1. Race Winner: Lewis Hamilton - 4/9

"What can I say, four starts in the USA and three wins. The Championship could be his this weekend, and for me I don't see any other winner of the race."

2. Points Finish: Marcus Ericsson - 11/4

"In what could be a weekend disrupted by rain, don't rule out Marcus making up for his 1st lap retirement last time out by storming home for a Top 10 finish."

3. Sebastian Vettel Specials: To set the Fastest Lap in the race - 7/1

"He denied Lewis Hamilton the hat-trick in Russia by bagging a fast lap there and the odds look very tasty to me for Sebastian to add another fastest lap to his collection here."
