seven-time world champion<\/a> particularly melancholic. The team gambled on strategy, which didn\u2019t work out, and Hamilton was left in the no-man\u2019s-land of the midfield. <\/p>\nHis first Italian Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver is a matter of days away. The opportunity to have some time away from the track might have served Hamilton well \u2013 this weekend could be a turning point in his debut season with Ferrari. <\/p>\n
Expect Chaos <\/p>\n
Storms are forecast throughout the weekend. Surprises are likely in qualifying if the weather is changeable, and it ups the likelihood of an outsider winning the race. <\/p>\n
Zandvoort is difficult circuit to overtake on. While it\u2019s loved by the drivers for its undulations and old-school feel, the best chance of an entertaining race is if the weather is all over the place, and we get a few safety cars. <\/p>\n
This could open the door for a rare non-McLaren win. The chasing pack are expected to be closer to the papaya team after the break, with Mercedes ditching their rear suspension package, and Ferrari figuring out how to make the most of their upgrades. <\/p>\n
Leclerc to finish on the podium, George Russell to place in the top six, and Carlos Sainz to score at least one point is an intriguing #YourOdds wager at 13\/2. <\/p>\n
At 11\/1, Verstappen to win the race with Norris on the podium, and Russell in the top six also looks good value if you fancy the Dutchman to deliver a masterclass in front of his home fans. <\/p>\n
