An easy win, in the end. Renault - Alonso especially - looks increasingly strong each race. I don't think we'll see Alonso paying $3.00+ in the near future.


Fisichella to beat M Schumacher: 5 Units @ $2.10

Fisi qualified 2nd and Schu in 10th so it was joy joy joy pre race. Then it was almost tear-up-your-ticket time after Fisi stalled on the grid and was sent to the back. Schumacher had a terrible first stint and safety cars helped Fisi catch right up to Schumacher before Fisi's first pit stop. Schumacher ran long and then showed some extra pace and all was lost again. Finally Schumacher seemingly overdrove his car and understeered into the wall coming into the main straight. Fisi completed the lap and the bet was then successful. He finished the race 5th.


Heidfeld top 8: 2 Units @ $3.00

A better than expected qualifying and a good race. Retirements may have helped his final position but would probably have got a top 8 without them.

Other things of note include Toyota scoring a terrific podium - a good performance for sure but I'll check the lap times and stuff to see how much of the performance is speed, and how much is reliability.

Montoya failed to finish so Renault extend their constructors championship lead. I may be inclined now to put in a saver bet for McLaren whose odds must be getting a bit juicier.

Another thing is the number of safety cars - congrats punta. Of course you were absolutely right about that bet. With Melbourne being a street circuit any driver error can put the car into a wall and rebounding back onto the track.

Well clearly I'm over the moon at this result. It couldn't be better and I hope it may long continue. We're off to Imola next where Ferrari were so strong last year. It's going to be another interesting betting race. I can hardly wait.
