"This is my home. I've grown up here all my life and it's really special." ...Nico Rosberg
In the first few laps after the pitstops, Vettel's race engineer reported to Vettel on the radio that his tyres from the first stint had been marginal. Rosberg's engineer on the other hand revealed that the tyres from his first stint had held up well (still at 60%), and while you never know how much of radio transmissions are intended for the driver and how much are for the benefit of rival teams, from that point on it looked like it was Rosberg's race.
At the Spanish Grand Prix my post-qualifying tips did pretty well with my 'Playing It Safe' tips returning 263 points from 100 points, and although my return wasn't quite as impressive this week, things nevertheless still went reasonably well with a return of 126 points.
However, my 'Longer Priced' pre-qualifying tips were the bets that really performed strongly this time out with an excellent return of 324 points from 100 points, which I have to admit was a lot better than I was expecting! I suppose it shows that if you're going to go for a risky longer priced bet then before qualifying is the time to do it (especially at Monaco), as once the grid is decided then the bookies are obviously going to shorten the odds of any driver with a realistic chance of doing well, and longer priced bets worth considering are going to be harder to find.
This is the detailed report on how my tips got on starting with my 'Longer Priced' pre-qualifying tips...
If you like to bet on formula 1 then it helps to be armed with the statistics, and so over
the last few days I've analysed the form guide to see which drivers
have been the most profitable bets, and also the safest bets, in some of
the most popular formula 1 betting markets. The form guide
charts I've produced have been fairly detailed and show the profit/loss
for every driver.
