Spanish Grand Prix, Race Odds

May 12, 2012

After qualifying and practice I could easily stretch out the speculation before this 2012 Spanish Grand Prix, but the reality is that with the winner almost always coming from pole, or at least the front row, and the results we saw in qualifying yesterday it would have been foolish to back against a McLaren win for Lewis Hamilton. Admittedly Sebastian Vettel has some fresh tires and interesting choices, as does the other McLaren of Jenson Button, but Hamilton would have taken some stopping when the lights go out and the flag dropped.   That is, if the English driver had [...]

Spanish GP, First Look

May 9, 2012

After a tricky start to the season Sebastian Vettel may be feeling pretty pleased about now, as his consistent form has taken him to the top of the pile and this weekend the Formula One circus rocks up to Catalunya, a circuit that suits his car and he knows well. Last year the young world champion picked up his first win at this track, and its shorter straight and high-speed corners will most likely give him a good chance of taking the victory.   To add to that, Lewis Hamilton has never managed a win at the famous Barcelona course, [...]

Bahrain GP: Tips and Preview

April 21, 2012

Although things have hardly settled down in Bahrain, it is now at least obvious that we will have a race barring something going really very wrong, and with qualifying out of the way the likely contenders are becoming easier to spot. Having said that, you could just as easily have looked back in time if you’d wanted to predict the front of the grid, as Red Bull and Vettel look like they are on form and recovering the magic last season was so full of. The double world champion is on pole position, with a gap of a tenth of [...]

Bahrain GP Preview and Qualifying

April 20, 2012

Quite possibly the most controversial Grand Prix in recent memory is set to take place this weekend in Bahrain, amid circumstances that tend to outline where the commitment of Formula One lies. With men like Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosely at the head of the sport the focus has been on the bank balance of late, and none of that had changed when the decision to stage this race was taken, quite possibly with the fact they’d already cashed the cheque in the forefront of their minds.   Although the protests aren’t centred around the event itself, you can see [...]

Chinese Grand Prix Winner Odds

April 14, 2012

As Formula One is hitting the news for many of the wrong reasons it must be a welcome break for Bernie and his cronies to come to China and enjoy a race for a while, and this weekend looks to be an absolute cracker in the making. Qualifying saw some extremely interesting outcomes, with two Mercedes in the top three, and that will surely lead to the other teams having a really good look at the DRS system used on the silver cars now it has been ruled legal.   On that matter, it seems to a lot of people [...]

2012 Formula One World Championship Preview

March 11, 2012

In a little under a week the Melbourne Grand Prix will open the 2012 Formula One World Championship with six former or current world champions on the grid. Sebastian Vettel (1/1) is the favourite to defend his crown and take his third world title at the tender age of 24, but the competition looks to be intense as the teams deal with the new regulations imposed by the FIA.   Changes to exhaust regulations mean that the Red Bull which was so dominant last year has lost a vital part of the design which made it so quick in the [...]

Lauda: Frustrating Hamilton needs to learn from Button

September 7, 2011

By William Taylor – A sports writer for Formula1Fancast – A place for Formula 1 Blogs, News and Videos! Follow us on Twitter! Lewis Hamilton can learn a lot from his team mate, Jenson Button, according three-time World Champion, Niki Lauda. The Austrian former Formula 1 driver believes that the McLaren ace has all the necessary talent to win the championship again, but he could do with adopting a more cautious driving style. Hamilton is very much considered the number one driver in his team, but this season Button has often out-performed him. During the last race in Belgium, there [...]

Who will reign in Spain?

May 21, 2011

With Formula One fans across the world gearing up for the next Grand Prix race this weekend, with the action heading over to Barcelona for the Spanish race, F1 punters may well be seeking the best value bets in the build-up to Sunday. When it comes to the likely winner, some people are unable to look past the obvious choice of Sebastian Vettel, but that pick is based solely on his dominance to date this season, rather than looking back at the previous stats applicable to this particular Grand Prix. Should you choose to look at these stats when thinking [...]
