Formula 1 – Abu Dhabi
I’ll be posting up a wrap-up of our Formula 1 season after the final race in the spectacular Abu Dhabi. For a new circuit it’s a real cracker, and the drivers have seemed to enjoy it. Most of all, Lewis Hamilton is on rails around the circuit and smashed everyone in qualifying. The car looks to be setup a peach and he was able to make the most of it to sit on pole. Interestingly the Red Bulls sit in 2nd and 3rd and look to be the real threat to Hamilton.
Everyone agrees: Hamilton is into $1.44 on Betfair. I’ve said before that in F1 anything under the $1.50 to $1.60 mark is a lay as F1 is just too unpredictable. However, rules are made to be broken, and Hamilton looks to be too dominant – we’ll lay him at better odds on the place.
Hamilton to take out Fastest Lap of the Race is closer to $2.30 on BF and $1.90 on SportsBet. People are speculating that Hamilton will get far ahead and then not need to be on the gas and can cruise around, but for mine Hamilton will be keen to cement that as his own.
The only other bet you might consider is a different one, something fun for the final race. LAY Hamilton to finish in the points. With this bet we’re saying Hamilton will either win or DNF completely out of the race due to a failure. At $1.17, it only costs $5 to win $30. We’ll try $20 to win $120.
All said, and given that the money is bang on, we’ll take a small wager on the Fastest Lap – $50 at $2.30.
