After the success of the opening Grand Prix in Melbourne, the betting for the Malaysian Grand Prix is hotting up already. Sebastian Vettel goes out as a clear favourite for the race and looks a formidable force for the race.
The German goes off at just 2.10 to win the race with his closest rival being Lewis Hamilton at 5.10. The betting margins show for themselves how much the bookmakers believe Vettel will be extremely tough to beat in the heat of Malaysia. He’s such a massive favourite that instant win games are making him at almost even money.
However, the McLaren’s are formidably quick at Kuala Lumpur and with their new carbon fibre diffuser on the car for the weekend will see a drastic increase in pace and likely performance.
Fernando Alonso in is Ferrari are currently at 6.50. Whilst the Ferrari team has yet to really kick off their 2011 campaign, Alonso will be looking for a jump start at the weekend and be pushing for maximum points. Team mate Massa is looking a good value bet at 34.00 and if they can get their car to click, could be there or there abouts.
Third place finisher in Australia, Vitaly Petrov also shows good value at 41.00 in what’s shaping up to be an interesting season for Renault. A very solid each way bet can be had here if they can replicate the pace and reliability of the opening weekend.
Our pick for the weekend will be that of Jensen Button at 10.00. As already mentioned the McLaren will see the introduction of their new diffuser at Malaysia and could be a somewhat unknown quantity. Vettel will no doubt be the man to beat, but Jensen knows how to win around this track and that could prove pivotal.
Looking through some online casino reviews only back up this theory, with many sites looking away from the Red Bull of Vettel for an upset in Kuala Lumpur.
