Usually a good race Canada, fast and bumpy, the chicane as the last corner looks terrifying. No doubt there will be a few retirements today and I would be surprised if they were all for reliability issues.
Nice spot on that bet Mullet worked out nicely although I think Hamilton was a little lucky to hold on to P1 but fair play he stuck a cracking lap in at the end he has every chance to win this race.
Traditionally Alonso doesnt go well on this circuit but he looked strong in qualifing. I think even McLaren were surprised by Ferrari as it was sort of accepted that they would be the main force here and in Indy for the next race.
I wish someone with a bit of imagination would price these match bets up...Hiedfeld v Massa could be intresting Hiedfeld v Webber too. I was hoping to get a Fisi v Trulli or Rosberg as well as Fisi is a bit of a specialist round here and he seems like he is really getting to gribs with that Renault now but no. Everyone has Fisi v Kubica which is tight Kubica has the speed, his teammate outqualifing the Ferraris and maybe has more fuel than most but he has issues with his car.
Trulli to beat Coulthard 1.66 @
ladbrokes.
As I have said before Trulli is reliable and consistent whereas Coulthard is not mainly due to the reliability of his car. This weekend he has had nothing but problems and was off the track during qualifing numerous times. Trulli in 10th and Coulthard in 14th is about all the convincing I need.
Wurtz to beat R Schumacher 1.83 @
ladbrokes.
There isnt a driver under more pressure than Schumacher he has been awful this season, is getting bashed in the press, rumors that hes out the door soon coupled with the fact that he has that name to live up to. He doesnt do himself any favours either this guy at the start of season he was quoted as saying he is in the top 5 drivers in F1 or something like that
plus its never his fault he always has some sort of excuse. I dont rate him hes full of shit. Wurz however is not and has shown so far he has speed this year. He had no excuses yesterday and stated that basically he was slow but with his teammate qualifing in 7th he obviously has the car underneath to improve from 20th and two behind Schumacher, lets be honest I would be confident in a Lada Riva two places behind Schumacher.
Webber to beat Coulthard 1.4 @
Expekt
Expect and their mad bets....Webber has looked good so far this season but let down again and again by his car. Red Bull dont seem to be able to get both cars running well at the same time. Coulthard as mentioned above has had nothing but problems and it looks like its Webbers weekend for reliablility, he looked like a man on a mission in qualifing and was really throwing it about. Webber starts 6th Coulthard 14th.
Trulli to beat schumacher 1.3 @
expekt
Another
Expekt offering, see above for thoughts on both these guys. Reliable car + reliable driver + starting in 10th against unreliable car starting in 14th = win is the formula I used to get this one. The double for these last two pays 1.82 :wasntme
Considering a double on the last two there but 1.82 isnt exactly a massive price considering the possibilities of accidents round here so instead I am going to have a go at the first two at
ladbrokes. The double pays 3.05 which looks reasonable.
Two point double Trulli to beat Coulthard and Wurtz to beat R Schumacher at
ladbrokes pays 3.05.
