LONDON: British bookmakers are backing Lewis Hamilton to come good in this season’s title chase, despite Nico Rosberg having the upper hand. No driver has won eight times in a season and failed to take the championship but Rosberg remained behind Hamilton in the betting odds. BoyleSports had Hamilton at 8/13 for the title with Rosberg on 5/4. Ladbrokes and Paddypower.com offered Hamilton at 4/6 and Rosberg at 6/5. “It is incredibly tight at the top of the championship and while Rosberg has the advantage on paper, we think Lewis Hamilton is still favourite but only just,” William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
