World Champion backed to pick up second win of the season
Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel is 3/1 favourite with
Sky Bet to win the Hungarian Grand Prix, despite Fernando Alonso's recent run of form.
Alonso leads the Drivers' Championship by 34 points from Red Bull's Mark Webber - with Vettel 10 points further back - and he is 7/2 to secure a hat-trick of wins in Budapest.
The Ferrari man is a long way from the forlorn figure that declared that the car was not up to scratch earlier in the season and is now 5/6 favourite for the title.
The McLaren duo of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have disappointed despite a promising start and are 4/1 and 8/1 respectively to win the 11th Grand Prix of the campaign.
Button was on form in this race last season, taking the race win and propelling McLaren to their 10th victory at the Hungaroring.
The online betting company are offering 13/5 that either McLaren driver wins on Sunday to record their 11th GP win on Hungarian soil.
Michael Schumacher has won the race four times before and is 25/1 to do so again while he is 11/2 to finish in the top three.
Sky Bet's F1 trader Tamas Feher believes Alonso is performing well, but will face a tough test to hold onto the lead in the driver's championship.
He said: "Alonso is doing really well, but he still does not have the best car at the moment.
"He was lucky in Valencia to pick up the victory and was helped by Webber's grid penalty in Germany, so perhaps his luck will run out at some point."
