BetterBet are offering a couple of group betting markets, which I often find can add interest to the intriguing midfield battles. Of the two, the group that interests me most is priced up as follows:

15/8 - Kubica
11/4 - Fisichella
11/4 - Trulli
11/4 – Kovalainen

It is no surprise to see the BMW driver favourite, but perhaps a little to see him as large as 15/8. His qualifying time today was over half-a-second quicker than anyone else in the group and in two out of the three practice sessions he has shown them all a clean set of heels. Interestingly, this gang-of-four finished line astern last time out in Bahrain; Kubica though was over 35 seconds ahead of the other three, whilst some distance down the road Fisichella, Trulli and Kovalainen were separated by just 8 seconds. He looks a class apart to me.

At 15/8 you are always wary of any failure to complete the race, however I have often taken shorter prices in the past about race winners and they have had 21 rivals to beat!
