F1 Canadian Grand Prix

Re: F1 Canadian Grand Prix Onto Canada then and Ferrari will want to hit back after their poor Monaco showing. They finished over a minute behind Mclaren as Ron Dennis’ team ran riot around the principality. Alonso easily won and Hamilton wasn’t too far behind in 2^nd place, but I think things will be much different here in Canada. Lets get 1 thing straight, the Ferrari car just isn’t designed for slow circuits and they accepted that they were never going to win in Monaco. Massa eased off the gas and conserved his engine for this hard tough race in Montreal. Ferrari will be very strong around this exceptionally fast circuit and I expect them to have the edge over Mclaren. This track consists of long straight and chicanes and you need a good top speed, it will suit Ferrari nicely here. I’m pretty sure that either Massa or Raikonnen will win and I cant decide who, so instead my bet will be ‘winning team Ferrari’ @ 2.10, this is a good price IMO and I cant see how Bluesquare can make Mclaren favs @ 1.66. Both Massa and Kimi have good records around this circuit and they are in the car that will get the business done. Alonso also has done well here in the past but he wont just be having his team-mate to challenge him this weekend. Hamilton I expect will go quite well but there is increasing pressure on him each week. Also has been some media attention on him recently about his start-line manoeuvres which might affect him a bit. I haven’t decided on any other bets for this race weekend, but I’m taking this one now before the price drops a bit. Its possible that Ferrari will be really strong in practice, which of course always would have an effect on prices. Ferrari winning team @ 2.10 Bluesquare 7/10

Re: F1 Canadian Grand Prix I’m going for Alonso to get pole today. Sadly he does seem to be on the pace and is a huge threat for the race win. However, I’m still quite confident Ferrari can get the business done on race day when more grip has been layed down on the track. Rain is forecast overnight which wont help things and conditions will be similar as they were today. Alonso looks really fast here and @ 3.20 he has to be worth a few units to get the top grid slot. Race day might well be different though over the longer run of things………. In that race I fancy both red bulls to get in the points. Coulthard @ 2.50 and Webber @ 2.37 look decent odds IMO, its just a question of them getting to the finish. They will be quick enough to be competitive in qualifying and should be able to get in the top 8. There are of course still those reliability worries but these bets will win IMO if the car can just hold together. Alonso pole position @ 3.20 Coral 3/10 Coulthard to finish in the points @ 2.50 William Hill 3/10 Webber to finish in the points @ 2.37 Betdirect 3/10
