F1 - Who Wins the Title?

When it comes to motor racing the Formula-1 is the Rolls Royce. The bikes are also pretty good value, but there is something about the Formula 1 that captures the playboy in all of us. It's a bit like looking at a different post card every event as the road show flies around the world and brings us excitement from all corners of the globe. Monte Carlo has always been my favorite, and I would recommend walking the track if you ever find yourself in that part of the world.

When it comes to punting on the F1 I am a big fan of future betting. The best thing about taking future bets is the fantastic value that can be found early on. Punters are also provided with the chance to save as the season progresses.

The sport as a betting spectacle is also far better than it used to be because Michael Schumacher doesn't win every race. This year it looks like a very interesting market with quite a few chances. PartyBets has some excellent betting options that should see everyone happy.

Raikkonen in his Ferrari is a clear favourite at $2.25. Second favourite is the British driver Hamilton in a McClaren Mercedes at $3.00. These two have every chance, though I like the next two in betting with Massa (Ferrari) and Alonso (Renault) at $5.50 and $7.50 respectively. I just think Massa could be something special and Alonso represents huge value if the Renault is up to scratch.

The betting in the Constructors Championship suggests that Ferrari has it in the bag. I am the sort of guy that hates Ferrari because everyone else loves them, but with an exciting pair of drivers I think $1.60 that PartyBets is offering is pretty good value. Renault at $8.50 could be the dark horse, especially if Nelson Piquet Junior is as good as his old man.

Gentleman start your engines, get the grid girls off the track and lets get racing.
