Anyone here ever talk F1?

You just started a thread for it

I like talking F1, very rarely bet on it though basically due to how volatile it is.

The few guys who like it seem to post about in other threads.

Be good to get them in a weekly thread.

I've taken Button early and haven't seen much to make me change my mind so far in P1/P2.

**MatI** · 04-13-12, 03:59 AM

F1 is the best!

Thanks for those other threads Opti, I hadn't seen any love for F1 yet this year, will check them out.

**MatI** · 04-13-12, 04:10 AM

My plays for Chinese GP, so far -

Pole Position
ROSBERG @ 15.00 - 0.25u
SCHUMACHER @ 15.00 - 0.25u

Race Winner - JENSON BUTTON @ 3.20 - 1u
Race H2H - JENSON BUTTON @ 2.00 over Hamilton - 1u

**Optional** · 04-13-12, 06:22 AM

I started a race-by-race posting; however because of the gap between Malaysia and China, it gets bumped fairly quickly. I would post more often, but it would rather be to check up on news, which I incorporate anyway.

Glad to see some love for the real fast cars though!

**shari91** · 04-13-12, 08:24 AM

I used to bet on it quite a bit up until a few months ago. That and MotoGP. Not really sure why I stopped because I was actually fluking my way to some ok cash.

If you guys start a thread in here - or even just continue on this one - I'll definitely pop in to contribute.

**cutchemist42** · 04-14-12, 01:17 AM

Well how about for this weekend, this acts as the Malaysian thread?

I picked up Jenson @ $3.5 to win outright after I heard about the Lewis gearbox change. My sportbook had not changed the odds either since Hamilton was still favourite.

With it being a dry race, I feel in no particular order that only Jenson, Alonso, Vettel, and Webber have decent shots at winning. Hamilton's gearbox change could put him behind Schumacher and if anyone remembers Italy last year....

I'll see if my mind changes after quali is done in about 40 mins.....

**Optional** · 04-14-12, 01:41 AM

Man this quali session is interesting with 4 teams in the top 5 so far

Ferrari and Red Bull just not fast enough.

**MatI** · 04-14-12, 01:43 AM

RB getting hurt down the long straight, Ferrari getting hurt everywhere!

Looks like Massa will miss out on Top 10 again too..

Wow, nice lap from Webber in the end. And SV out, using the old exhaust has backfired big time for him.

**Optional** · 04-14-12, 01:44 AM

Well one Red Bull not fast enough!

Vettel out in Q2 and Webber fastest. What a turn around that is.

**Optional** · 04-14-12, 01:45 AM

My 260/1 shot living up to the confidence so far eh Mat

Good luck with The Merc boys btw.

I'm pulling for you. Didn't have a bet on this, apart from Koby.

**MatI** · 04-14-12, 01:54 AM

Thanks mate, im not hugely confident, i still have a feeling Hammy pulls it out last minute...

**Optional** · 04-14-12, 02:00 AM

Track temp is going to save Nico I think!

great early call mate!

**MatI** · 04-14-12, 02:08 AM

thanks mate, Merc front row lock out!

Shocking Qualy by Button though, other bets are going to be at risk now, McLaren's will line up alongside each other on the grid. Atleast Button will have the advantage in looking after the tyres, but I was hoping for top 4 spot for Button. Ah well, still plenty of racing to go, should be an awesome race.

**cutchemist42** · 04-14-12, 09:59 AM

Should be noted that no one has been passed more this year then Nico.

I'm really looking forward to a dry race to finally get a feeling for where the cars are at truly in paceSpecifically, I want to see how Sauber does in this dry race. I also really want to see what Schumacher can do with the Merc in a whole race without his tranny dying or getting punted on the 1st lap.

You can do the Malaysian GP thread and I'll do China. My money is on Alonso

**Optional** · 04-15-12, 01:31 AM

Here's the grab bag I ended up with

K.Raikkonen Fastest Lap $11.50

2 Team Parlay +140
Sebastian Vettel -195* vs Fernando Alonso
Kamui Kobayashi -170* vs Sergio Perez

Win
SEBASTIAN VETTEL +400
JENSON BUTTON +250
McLaren +157

Top 3
MARK WEBBER +250
KIMI RAIKKONEN +400

Schumacher leads first lap $4.20

Still no luck for Schuey! I feel for the bloke at the moment, he just can't get a break. I used to hate it when he dominated with Ferrari, now I would love to see him grab a win.

Bad luck Opti, I hope the parlay covered most of the others. Atleast we don't have to wait long for Bahrain!

**cutchemist42** · 04-17-12, 12:38 AM

Merc could have had the 1-2 easily I think. Not sure if Schumacher could have caught Nico since he seems to be great in China.

2 crucial pitstops cost Schumi a podium and Jenson a decent run at Nico. Still upset that we don't have a full, un-compromised race by Schumi to get a feel for where he's at this year.
