Young Guns at Monaco

with 5 comments

I think that there is a very real possibility that Sebastian Vettel will win the Monaco Grand Prix. The Red Bull looks to be the most mechanically proficient car this season and this weekend, for the first time, Adrian Newey has bolted on a double-decker diffuser. Continue reading…

Practically every team brings upgraded packages to Barcelona, and given how close the cars have been running pace-wise, it’s not impossible that there will be a few surprises this weekend. I’m therefore inclined to take it easy stakes-wise, whilst still believing that the current front-runners can reasonably be expected to deliver. Continue reading..

Barcelona Hat Tricks

with 5 comments

No, not Henry or Messi for a change; I’m looking at the Win, Pole and Fastest Lap market. There is definitely something about the Circuit de Catalunya that allows one driver to dominate a weekend.

Alonso a Diffuser User?

With the “DDD3″ having had their evolutionary parts deemed legal, it seems that the status quo is almost certain to sustain for the Chinese Grand Prix. Continue reading…

Sepang Surprises

At a best price of evens, this early in the season and with the potential for inclement weather, I wont be backing Jenson Button even though he is for me the most likely race winner. Instead I’m going to chance my arm on a couple of outsiders and back them both to win and finish on the podium: Continue reading…
