After the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Formula 1 World Championship has great contenders for the title. Mark Webber is the new leader of the Formula 1 overall standings and is the favorite in major sports betting companies after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Webber has shown to be at an outstanding level, and last Sunday he achieved his fourth win of this season. Also his maturity and great performances makes him one of the candidates to win the title.

On the other hand, the second place in Hungarian Grand Prix went to Fernando Alonso, two-time World Champion of Formula 1 and Ferrari racing driver.

For his part, Alonso recently won the German Grand Prix and his great consistency is just one of the features that place him as the biggest candidate to become the F1 World Champion this season.

However, it also expected that Lewis Hamilton will perform even better in the next races and recover the leadership, which he lost in Hungary after falling to second place with 157 points, while Sebastian Vettel has third place in the driver standings with 151 points.

The fourth in the driver standings, Jenson Button, also expects to recover the level and earn the necessary points to increase his chances of reaching the Championship title.

Finally, after the three-long week vacations, there will be two crucial circuits for the F10, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza.

Undoubtedly, these will be some of the races that Fernando Alonso can't lose, because after this, they will face circuits in which Ferrari is not considered as a favorite.

But for now, there are five drivers separated by just 20 points and the one that could cause more troubles to Fernando Alonso is the Australian, Webber.

The next race will be the Belgian Grand Prix, which will take place on August 29th at Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
