drivers with penalties:

I was liking Kimi Raikkonen for fastest lap, he has had a few this year, and they are giving nice odds for it. He should be fast during the race.

But yeah, can be a toss up.

shaunovery · 07-22-12, 06:47 AM

Fastest lap is a lottery anyone can it especially at the end if someone puts fresh tyres on

I also like button to bt Schumacher -135

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 06:50 AM

i took Raikkonen( +625) for fastest lap

crazy u can bet that btw...sounds fun to bet on

thats it with vettel over alonso for parlay win

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 06:52 AM

shaunovery · 07-22-12, 06:54 AM

You can open your rear wing to give a speed boost at certain parts of the track. watch this to explain properly.

shaunovery · 07-22-12, 07:25 AM

Its a tool that helps you overtake it gives you more horsepower if you're within 1 sec of the car in front but you can only use in certain parts of the track

It stands for drag reduction system

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 07:32 AM

oh thanks guys

MatI · 07-22-12, 07:53 AM

Vettel dropping away, not looking great right now...

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 08:08 AM

is there ever full-course cautions?

or is that very rare in F1

MatI · 07-22-12, 08:13 AM

Very rare.

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 08:26 AM

going to take me a longtime to be able to make educated bets on F1

looks like a slow process 1 race at a time, at least for me

feel like im trying to learn a new language!

It is very different to probably what you are used to, but you will def pick it up.

Sorry, bad leans today. Not exactly how I expected it to play out. Need to stop underestimating Alonso.

shaunovery · 07-22-12, 08:40 AM

Bloody alonso beats us again same as last time

Just couldn't past him

5mike5 · 07-22-12, 08:40 AM

oh i dont mind that i appreciate it

...im more interested in learning at this point than winning money

He controlled that race really well.

Both Button & Vettel had the pace on him at different stages, but he did not give them a single look in.

This season has been one of the hardest to predict that I can remember, and i have been following religiously since 92!

Mental note for next few races: Do not fade Alonso.

MatI · 07-22-12, 10:38 AM

Vettel penalised for his pass on Button with 2 laps to go. Demoted to 5th place.

Where the hell did you get that photo? Hard to say what it is....

It was on his twitter feed in a conversation with someone that sounded like they knew him. Wish I had kept the link to the tweet as I cant spot it on his timeline now. It's either a funny bong or a cream whipping gas thing almost for sure... well i think.

Funny bastard for a 70+ yo eh!

I made that note a couple of races back after he kept effing me over.

Still... wasn't smart enough to actually bet on him today.

I didn't bet at all in end... as I just had no idea. Almost fell into the Vettel+100 over Alonso H2H with everyone else but left that too in the end.

@Mike personally I think Raikkonen is worth backing for fastest lap in every race (as long as his odds are around +1000 as has been the case most races)

He is the all time record holder for fastest laps and when on song chooses to go for them, like Vettel. He only has to take the fastest lap 3 times all year to make a profit at the odds he is offered at, and he already has 2 or 3. One of the better value bets every week imho (despite the general feeling it's a lottery most people have.)

AWESOME news! (for Mark)

Thought they might give him 5 secs only, so he dropped to 3rd.

The guy is a nutter! I actually got to have a few beers with him last year when they toured Aus last year. I was hired to do some driving work with the Top Gear crew when they were here doing some filming. Both him and James May were great value.

I keep telling myself not to be against him, but they just never seem to have the pace until the actual race. He will not burn me again. Only think that makes me feel better is i am always glad to see him do so well.
