The
driver’s championship is now looking very much like a two horse race and
although Red Bull look very strong at the moment, Ferrari aren’t too far away
so it’s all to play for with four races to go.
Pre-Qualifying Tips:
To Win Outright:
25 points on Lewis Hamilton at 4.5 - LOSS
25 points on Lewis Hamilton at 4.5 - LOSS
Lewis
suffered from an issue with his rear suspension during the race, but even before
his suspension problem manifested itself he never looked in with a chance of
troubling Vettel for the victory.
To Finish On The Podium:
15 points on Fernando Alonso at 2.5 – WIN 38 points
15 points on Fernando Alonso at 2.5 – WIN 38 points
Once again
Fernando continued his impressive run of podium finishes and if we disregard retirements he has now finished on the podium in eight out of the last ten Grand Prix. Again excluding retirements, Fernando
has also improved on or matched his grid position in all but two of the races so far this season,
so that’s one other statistic worth bearing in mind when considering a
post-qualifying bet on Fernando in future Grand Prix.
20 points on Nico Rosberg at 2.0 - LOSS
After qualifying this was looking like an excellent bet but sadly car damage due to a collision at the start meant that Nico had a very short afternoon.
Fastest Lap:
5 points on Paul Di Resta at 34.0 - LOSS
5 points on Paul Di Resta at 34.0 - LOSS
Mark Webber
took the fastest lap of the Korean Grand Prix.
Fastest Qualifier:
25 points on Lewis Hamilton at 4.5 - LOSS
Lewis had a
respectable qualifying but was unable to match the outright one-lap pace of the
Red Bulls.
* The fastest qualifier
market isn't offered at OLBG.com so for this bet I used the odds available at
SkyBet.com.
Qualifying Winning Margin:
10 points on 0.150 seconds or more at 1.8 - LOSS
For only the 2nd time in the last seven Grand Prix, the front row of the grid were separated by less than 0.15 seconds in qualifying.

Making an overall return of 38 points and
therefore a loss of 62 points.
Post-Qualifying Tips:
To
Win Outright:
25 points
on Mark Webber at 4.33 - LOSS
Mark lost
out to Vettel at the start and after that Vettel looked pretty comfortable all
race. The only slight worry for
Sebastian was in the closing laps when his front right tyre was down to the
very limit, but it held on to earn Sebastian his third successive win.
10
points on Felipe Massa at 51.0 - LOSS
Rob Smedley
actually told Felipe to slow down once he caught up to the back of Fernando, so
although Massa didn’t quite manage an eachway win on this occasion, on current
form Felipe looks like one to watch as an eachway bet for future Grand Prix in
case the bookies price him generously once again.
To
Finish On The Podium:
20
points on Kimi Raikkonen at 5.5 - LOSS
A solid but
unspectacular race from Kimi earned him 5th position.
To
Finish In The Points (Top Ten Finish):
10
points on Paul Di Resta at 2.25 - LOSS
Paul
finished 4.8 seconds outside the top ten in 12th position.
Top
Six Finish:
15 points on Jenson Button at 2.5 - LOSS
A first lap retirement due to a collision from Kamui Kobayashi put paid to a top six finish for Jenson.

Fastest
Lap:
10
points on Kimi Raikkonen at 17.0 - LOSS
Making an overall return of 0 points and
therefore a loss of 100 points.
For the
first time since I started making predictions, my post-qualifying tips have
been pipped by my pre-qualifying tips making the running totals:
Pre-qualifying
– 1.5
Post-qualifying
– 2.5
Once the grid is settled after
qualifying is therefore still looking like the best
time to place your formula 1 bets.
Missed opportunities:
The biggest
missed opportunity was probably Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne for a top
ten finish at 6.5 and 8.0 respectively.
Their reasonably strong race pace and excellent straight line speed meant
that both Toro Rosso drivers finished in the points.
Disclaimer:
A small bet can make a formula 1 race more exciting but the unpredictable
nature of the sport mean that having a large bet is just stupid. Gambling
can be a risky business so never bet more than you can afford to lose.
