Formula 1 – Brazil – Qualifying
We head to Brazil this week in the Formula 1 to a cold wet track with rain expected during qualifying and the race itself. This makes the whole show a bit of a lottery as a driver might be able to get a speedy lap in during the dry. That said, Red Bull really look the pick of the weekend, with proven cold conditions form and more importantly proven wet form. They’ve also done the job well in the dry prac sessions thus far.
I’d almost prefer Mark Webber in these conditions but Sebestian Vettel will have the whole team including Webber behind him to try and pull off a miraculous championship victory. I think he has a great chance to win the race overall, but qualifying in particular will be a total lottery – Webber, I think, will be pushing for pole without too much regard for whatever the other side of the garage is doing. If Red Bull need him to coast to give the victory to Vettel, then that’s what will happen at the end of the day.
This gives you two options. With Vettel so skinny in qualifying you can take the smart money with Betfair and lay Vettel at $3.05. This means to win $50 we have to risk $102.50. The other option you have is to back Webber - he’s at $8, so we can bet $25 on him to win $175.
Officially we’ll record both bets as one probably means the other will happen, but we’re covering ourselves a little which is ideal.
Result: An epic chaotic and wet qualifying session with many ups and downs – our ‘lay’ man Vettel was knocked out in Q1 which meant a healthy collect, while we were about as close as you can be to a big win with Webber in P2 and he looked the goods in the Red Bull before Barrichello got on pole. Overall we won $50 but lost our bet of $25 = $25 win.
