And with wet weather expected at this weekend's German Grand Prix, I expect him to make it a double at Hockenheim.

Hamilton is 2/1 with bet365 and going by current form it's a good price come rain or shine.

Kimi Raikkonen is the 13/8 favourite, while Felipe Massa is a best price of 3/1.

Idowu a gold-medal favourite
ATHLETICS: Phillips Idowu is 6/4 with Ladbrokes to win Olympic gold in Beijing following his 17.58 metre leap at the Olympic Trials on Sunday.

The flamboyant 29-year-old is the world leader in the event this year and continued his fine form in Birmingham to easily take
victory ahead of Larry Achike and Nathan Douglas.

Such is his form Ladbrokes price up the triple jumper at just 2/5 to claim a medal in Beijing and offer 100/1 that he sets a new world record at the Games.

Although Jonathan Edwards' current mark of 18.29m will be a very tough one for Idowu to beat...

Bookies back Berbatov switch
FOOTBALL: Dimitar Berbatov has been backed again to join Manchester United after further support at Sky Bet.

The firm were 1/4 in midweek about the Bulgarian moving to Old Trafford in time for the start of the season before cutting him to 1/6.

Now they go 1/7, with his transfer from Spurs looking more and more likely. He's 7/2 to stay at Tottenham and 20/1 to sign for Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Meanwhile, despite the Cristiano Ronaldo saga seemingly neverending, Sky Bet's 'Where will he start next season market' remains unchanged. They offer 4/9 Manchester United, 13/8 Real Madrid, 33/1 Barcelona and 33/1 Inter Milan.

Ladbrokes go 8/15 Manchester United and 11/8 Real Madrid.

Saints so strong
FOOTBALL: Brackley Town have made some important signings and are fantastic value to win the Southern League Premier Division next season.

Manager Phil Lines has plenty of talent at his disposal and Saints are shaping up to be much more of a force than last season. Take Sky Bet's tasty offer of 9/1 on a Saints title win.

Bet of the week
Lewis Hamilton thrives in wet conditions so take him at 2/1 to win this weekend's German Grand Prix
