How can the Mercs and Saubers be so damn slow btw??

Not that I can say I know the answer, but my hunch is its the hot weather. Looks at the weekends they have been doing well, it has always been in cool conditions.

If thats it we should probably look to take them in H2Hs if its damp...

Optional · 07-28-12, 08:16 AM

Just realized Cup practice has started.

Non stop cars. Love it

Latest forecast were saying the thunderstorms look like missing at this stage. maybe light rain at worst. But should still be warm, so not sure if they will get an advantage tomorrow...

Didn't realise until a few minutes ago either! Also, GP2 race in 20mins, then GP3 after that.

Hamilton has been a great driver to bet against this year. He might win with the pole position but I ain't takin those odds.

MatI · 07-28-12, 05:50 PM

Yeah way too short for Hamilton now. No value at current odds.

5mike5 · 07-28-12, 07:55 PM

i took Raikkonen for Fastest Lap of the race....(+575)

probably all ill play on F1 this week seeing as the chances of any1 else winning are very unlikely, and no way in hell ill bet any winner at -115..thats just things i hear.from what u guys say, not like i have a clue

i still wanted a rooting interest in the race

Optional · 07-28-12, 08:26 PM

EVen Kimi for fast lap is under the odds really.

Will be on that with you though Mike.

Waiting until close to race time so I know what the weather will be for sure.

Optional · 07-28-12, 08:44 PM

found 1 I like now, as weather doesnt matter for it.

Pastor Maldonado* +130 vs Felipe Massa 2u

MatI · 07-28-12, 09:38 PM

I was thinking Webber is a good punt for fastest lap this time, he is starting mid grid and will need to push right to the end.

I'm not liking much for the race. I think I will just sit on my Lewis Podium bet.

Weather forecast is still up in the air, i'll be watching twitter and support races to try and work out how it will pan out...

With choice of starting tyres there is a chance he will be on newer/softer shoes at the end compared to others as well. Worth thought for sure.

What support races are on today?

MatI · 07-28-12, 11:53 PM

GP3 @ 5:15pm, GP2, half our after that finishes.

Am I just losing my mind or do they usually race on Saturday at other venues?

MatI · 07-29-12, 01:37 AM

Always two races for each of them.

Race 1 is always after F1 Qualy on Saturdays. Race 2 is always before F1 race on Sundays.

MatI · 07-29-12, 01:57 AM

Thunderstorms hit the track just over an hour ago. Latest update:

#F1 radar update 08:48 CET: Rain clearing and it will dry out for a while now w/some sunshine. One further shower to the SW of Budapest.

shaunovery · 07-29-12, 03:44 AM

Watching the gp2 race overtaking near on impossible clear and dry track temp 15 degrees lower than yesterday maybe a disadvantage for the lotus

Shows how much notice I take of them I guess

Sun seems to be out. Wonder how hot it might get by F1 time? Or if showers come back?

shaunovery · 07-29-12, 04:04 AM

According to the weather channel 80%rain in afternoon increasing as the day goes on maybe the race will be over by then

MatI · 07-29-12, 04:12 AM

Going off GP2 live timing screen, Air Temp is at 26 degrees and gone up only a degree in the last hour. Track temp at 36 degrees and gone up sharply from 30 degrees in the last hour. Looks quite hot, but I think rain could still hit again by the sounds.

Tweet from Martin Brundle just a few minutes ago:

Teams are expecting heavy rain in race. Last F1 race for 5 weekends so don't miss it live on SkyF1! You can catch up on the Olympics later

I'm contemplating taking Safety Car bet on the gamble that heavy rain will come at some stage. Still can't make up my mind though.

F1 race should be a little better though. With DRS.

Did you see GP3 race? Wet/Dry race, some trying to survive on wets others trying to catch on drys. It was amazing stuff!

Optional · 07-29-12, 04:16 AM

I'm going to flip flop and go against McLaren and Lotus, who I started weekend keen on.

I might be going mad so pay no attention to me.

Any other driver leads after one lap* +350 vs L.Hamilton leads after one lap .5u
Vettel to lead first lap +1900 .25u
Formula 1 Motor Racing Hungarian Grand Prix : Sebastian Vettel +500 2u
Formula 1 Motor Racing Hungarian Grand Prix - Fastest Lap : Kimi Raikkonen +700 .5u
Formula 1 Motor Racing Hungarian Grand Prix - Fastest Lap : Mark Webber +1050 .5u

mad parlay for .5u +880

7/29/2012 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 116 R.Grosjean not in top 3* -140 vs R.Grosjean finishes in top 3
7/29/2012 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7603 Timo Glock* -145 vs Charles Pic
7/29/2012 8:00 AM Formula1 Motor Racing 7620 Pastor Maldonado* -145 vs Bruno Senna

Nice price for a shot still, $2.32 available on BF but thats on thin trading and down from $2.50 early on.

Saw a bit of GP3, was quite good with the drying track mixing things up.

Those cars sound like FF though :\

I can get SC bet for $2.45 at 5d, which is good value I think. Might be worth a go but going to wait until as late as possible to decide.

Yeah, GP3 cars don't sound too sexy, not much power like a FF, but hey, low power usually means good/close racing.

Shaun, once those tyres started to fade in that GP2 race, i noticed passing was a lot easier for them. Hopefully we get some of that for f1. That Trummer crash was pretty crazy, good to see he still beat the guy who shunted him over the finish line.

Replay from last weekend at Hockenheim.

Optional · 07-29-12, 04:54 AM

I realized it was wrong track as soon as I typed it

MatI · 07-29-12, 05:02 AM

haha, all good. I have no idea why they show them a week behind. I think maybe Eurosport has the rights to show it live. I know they used to before Sky took over F1 so maybe that is still the case.

shaunovery · 07-29-12, 05:22 AM

Got a terrible feeling about this race could be a complete lottery if it rains

MatI · 07-29-12, 06:15 AM

Same. Nothing but blue skies at the moment though.

I'm just sticking with my Hamilton Top 3 bet, not brave enough to take anything else. I've had a profitable weekend, no need to throw it away. Nothing seems too certain today.

shaunovery · 07-29-12, 06:22 AM

Think the -105 Lewis is a steal if it stays dry blue sky everywhere

No safety car is -160 once again great value if it's dry

MatI · 07-29-12, 06:27 AM

Agree completely. The pace Lewis has shown all weekend should mean he will cruise to victory. But if rain arrives, McLaren has been struggling in the wet. If it is a fully dry race, it is very unlikely we see an SC. I have a feeling it now most likely stays dry throughout, but rain might come late in the race.

All the books I use have stopped posting the winning margin prop. Frustrating as that was good money the last year and a half.

shaunovery · 07-29-12, 06:30 AM

No rain
