F1: Bookies struggle to split Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in title battle

The bookies are unable to split the two drivers as Hamilton boasts a slender six-point lead as F1 is put on hold for the summer break.

The odds are extremely mixed with Verstappen and Hamilton both being odds-on favourites with different bookmakers.
Verstappen is down as EVENS while Hamilton is odds-on favourite with BoyleSports.
But Betfair have Verstappen as odds-on favourite while Hamilton is 6/4.
Just two races ago Verstappen opened up a huge 32-point lead over Hamilton, which is a deficit Hamilton has never overcome to win a title before.
But after the controversial crash at the British Grand Prix and the chaotic Hungarian Grand Prix, Mercedes are now in the driving seat.
Mercedes and Red Bull’s rivalry turned personal after Hamilton collided with Verstappen at 180mph at Silverstone before the Brit went onto win his home grand prix.
And the Red Bull boss Christian Horner was left fuming after the Hungarian GP as he saw both his drivers get wiped out of the race following a mistake from Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas.
