As the dust settles on a thrilling British Grand Prix, Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost on Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc to rally in the second half of the Formula One season.

The Monegasque driver did not have the best of afternoons at Silverstone, indeed he has been absent from the podium since his stunning win at his home GP in May. Still, having accrued a decent haul at the start of the campaign, Leclerc is third in the Drivers' Championship.

The 26-year-old finds himself within one race win of McLaren's Lando Norris and Sky Bet have boosted odds on him pipping the Brit by the end of the term to finish behind only runaway leader Max Verstappen at 12/1.

He had been priced at 10/1 to win the Drivers' Championship without the three-time world champion. Sky Bet are also offering prices on Leclerc to win the championship outright, although at 50/1, that is certainly a long shot.

With 12 races left on the 2024 slate, the season is at the midway point and the drivers travel to Hungary and Belgium before the summer break at the end of the month.

Leclerc's best showing in the Drivers' Championship came in 2022 when he finished second and claimed three race wins and 11 podiums. He finished the campaign on 308 points, behind only Red Bull's Verstappen.

The second favourite in the 'without Verstappen' market is Norris, priced at 1/14, while Leclerc's Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz is fifth in the running at 66/1.

Oscar Piastri, team-mate of Norris, in a resurgent McLaren team is priced at 50/1.

Drivers' Championship Outrights W/O Verstappen:

Sergio Perez 250/1
