    Malaysian F1 GP action wager

    Fernando Alonso Podium Finish +600 betfair...

    Starting to rain and although his car is a handful this circuit will suit him, esp in the wet...

    Only a small wager as not expecting it to hit...GL

    Nice, man.

    As an American, I try to gauge the non-American interest in F1. Huge, eh? Bigger than Nascar in USA?

    GL on the bet.

    Chucky thanks. Yeah its global appeal if quite massive as races are conducted at different regions all over the globe.

    Also the most technologically advanced.

    Red flag atm due to poor weather.

    Cool, man. I've followed it. The one thing that bugs me = at some of the tracks, it's so narrow that it's damn near impossible to pass.

    Yeah the street circuits present little chance for overtaking. The circuit for this round (Sepang) is much wider track and there should be alot of opportunities for passing down main straight with use of DRS (Drag Reduction System)...

    Basically gives the car an extra 10mph top end which makes for some exciting crazy high speed moves...

    I think NASCAR puts more bums on seats than F1, not sure about TV but would not be surprised if the viewership is not 'too far' apart either. I think the percentage of mad NASCAR fans in US is greater than percentage of mad F1 fans in UK, Canada, Italy or Australia. So I imagine NASCAR feels "bigger" in the US than F1 feels in it's biggest markets.

    I doubt they will leave it disabled for long once they go back racing.

    If in dry id agree but in the wet Alonso not so much for me, Perez, yes definitely.

    Alonso has almost always been a strong wet weather driver in the rain and this track with its long straights and high speed corners suited the big horsepower ferrari's. Soon as saw the +600 for a podium finish couldnt resist...Keeping that 6 second lead...

    Couple of touch and go moments there.

    Thought this might have had a small chance but didnt think it would cash with such ease....

    +600 goodness....Think treat myself to something nice after this one
