Formula One Season Preview

FIA President Max Mosley has landed himself in hot water over allegations of a racist sex romp. The allegations were made in the British tabloid News of the World who claimed they had footage of Mosley engaging in a Nazi death-camp role play with five prostitutes in a London apartment. This may not the most reliable of sources but the news is defiantly rocking a sport that is synonymous with young playboys jet-setting across the world driving fast cars and partying until they drop.

The start to the Formula 1 season has seen the favourites perform well and they now dominate betting. Hamilton in his McLaren-Mercedes and Raikkonen in his Ferrari appear to be the only real chances in the Drivers Championship and their manufacturers appear to the only two in the Constructors Championship.

PartyBets is the place to get all the action on your motor sports. Firstly let's look at the Drivers Championship. This really looks like a good old fashion coin flip. Raikkonen the flying Finn has the jump on his rival and is currently at $1.90. The young Brit, Hamilton, is also very short at $2.30. These two appear to have it in the bag with the rest of the field well over $10.

The Drivers Championship is an even tighter market with Ferrari being a slight favourite at $1.80 with McLaren-Mercedes at $1.90. BMW-Sauber is at $12.00 with every other manufacturer over $80. There is more chance of a giant meteor hitting Earth than either Ferrari or McLaren-Mercedes not walking away with the chocolates so take a stance on you're preferred option and enjoy the battle.

I like the Constructors market better because it involves four drivers and cars rather than just two. So you will certainly get better bang for you punting dollars selecting the car not the driver. Ferrari's 2nd driver Massa is quick and can win races but is a little reckless. Kovalainen the number 2 for McLaren-Mercedes may not have the charisma of the Brazilian but should finish more races. I lean a little towards the McLaren-Mercedes because I would like to drive a Mercedes one day and can't see a Ferrari being a realistic option. Good luck petrol heads.
