9/7/2014 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7710 Daniil Kvyat* +170 vs Jean Eric Vergne
9/7/2014 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7716 Esteban Gutierrez* +125 vs Adrian Sutil
9/7/2014 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7726 Sebastian Vettel* +145 vs Fernando Alonso

Nice work with these.

[Optional]

I took them as four 3 leg parlays so was a nice result for them

Took the Vettell>Alonso for 3 units and my Hamilton quali/race bet cashed too.

So we both made out quite well I think?

Was a good race! even without the Mercs getting to fight much.

And Nico chokes it away too! After he looked so rattled. have to remember that.

[MatI]

Yeah I came out ahead as well got lucky with that parlay though. Was a much better race than i was expecting! Great to see Dan another amazing drive.

Yeah for sure! I'd call it drive of the race if there wasn't so many other good ones to choose from. Like Massa and Hamilton. And a nice comeback through the field driver by Bottas.

Did you see the comments from the head of Fiat about Ferrari after race? Sounds like the place is about to do an Italian job on itself and implode. Poor alonso.

[MatI]

Yeah read a great article from james allen about the comments last night, i didnt expect any of that!

Very bad situation for Alonso, who would have thought his options would be so limited. The only hope for Ferrari may be Ross Brawn but i am not sure i would want to come back if i was him. While it is going to be entertaining to watch Ferrari slowly implode over the next couple of years it is sad it might be several more years before Ferrari or Alonso get another chance for a championship.

Monte says the team is becoming American.

Italians might hate it but could be a good thing for the longer term prospects.


Did you read about Dan asking for priority #1 driver status from now on? http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns28878.html

JA did another article about RBR using Vettel as a pawn for Dan's strategy at Monza too that was worth a read. http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2014/0...ardo-in-italy/


Are we betting on Dan in Sinapore?

Are you going to the race?

And have you seen this? Fans can vote to give 3 drivers a 5 sec 50hp power boost

It's the Red Bull version of Formula racing.

Well the webstream they setup for practice sessions (as no broadcaster took them) failed due to it having to pass through the China firewall and it creating too much of a bottleneck as soon as more than two dozen people connected

Then the entire website went down due to not having enough resources for the traffic. Good that there is interest but pretty dumb to stuff it up so bad first day.

Live timing here worlds at least: http://livetiming.alkamelsystems.com/fiaformulae/

I dont think this Ferrari news bodes well for their short term success. Over reaction by the Ferrari board and I agree with Luca anyway, they should keep Ferrari as exclusive as possible. Making more cars will only dilute the brand.

Not going to singapore race this weekend, but def thinking about betting on Dan. Books are onto him now though, might try another outsider...

Thanks heaps for this i almost forgot! Im really looking fwd to following this series, not such a fan of that power boost gimic though.

You think they would be more prepared.



I just realised Fox Sports is showing the race live I hope they do this for the whole season. Thanks for timing link mate.

Apparently most TV broadcasters (and they have a lot around the world) are not taking practice or quali.

Apart from a couple of Indian TV channels which have FP2 and Quali. Going to try to find a stream of that for FP2 at 12:30 our time.

[MatI]

I dont really blame them. Brand new racing series - tv broadcasters will be reluctant to dedicate too much air time right away. It will grow.

[Optional]

Im surprised they managed to get so many networks for a new series. A1 started out strong I thought but they didn't have a fraction of the coverage and interest this seems to be getting. Although I'm guessing they must have given the rights away to do it.

if you visit the website check out the broadcasters page.

[MatI]

I think the officia FIA championship world status helps get it a lot of attention straight up. I really like the concept could have huge potential this series.

[Optional]

I kind of like the driver lineup too.

Lots of didnt-quite-make-it types but I like a lot of them.

The cars look good. The circuits they have lined up sound 'interesting'.

And races all through the off season!

I'm ready to give it a go.

[MatI]

wow that was a good race. What a huge shunt at the end, Prost is a dick, that was HUGE!

[Optional]

Yeah it was a bone head move. Heidfeld lucky he wasnt hurt there.

Glad you said you liked it. I'll give it more of a chance.

But, the lack of noise and the look of real speed left me a bit flat honestly.

I still can't help thinking the F1 cars sound rubbish too even after this many races.

I think on a superficial level the sound just really matters to me. Higher revs higher excitement. I want the 21,000 RPM engines.

If you spot a video of the opening lap of the Sandown Porsche Carrera Cup race 1 today (just happened now) there is an amazing crash that rips the entire engine right out of the rear of one car.

Did you see Ambrose news mate?

Moving to V8's next year with Penske.

Yeah. I think I'm sad about it really. Not sure.

It will be interesting to see how he goes against the current drivers I guess.

Is Penske taking over DJR?

[MatI]

Yeah im sad to see the nascar dream coming to an end, but it was on the cards for awhile. Not sure if Penske taking over or running in partnership.

Hopefully Marcos can snatch a farewell victory in the next 10 weeks!

I ended up going to Sandown for the V8 race, didnt see this until I saw your post and just saw the video of the crash now. I always hate seeing Porsche's crash!!

[Optional]

It was an awesome weather day for that!

Guess I will have to get more back into the V8s again.


Like anything for the Cup race?

I've got Jimmie or any Ford as my main plays.

If it turns out to be a Roush Ford will be a huge win.

But not much on the line overall. Looking forward to race still though.

[MatI]

only have kasey over tony h2h

Good luck

[MatI]

hope it was a good win for you mate. Only +1u for me but ill take it any day.

[Optional]

Not a big one but I'm happy too

Took Vettel for Pole 20/1 and race 23/1

[MatI]

Hey mate, I def like an upset for tomorrow, think it could be a wild one.

Going to stick with Merc for Q though, taking Lewis @ 2.00 for Pole 1u. I have been out all day so not sure why they were off the pace in p3 though or if it was just didnt get a clear lap?

GL.

Nice work.

It looked like they were going to be knocked off right up until those last Q3 laps eh!

Dan for the win?

[MatI]

Thx. Very lucky though!

Def like Dan for the win... thinking of spreading it around 3-4 longshots...
