Just had a quick look at the betting
Kimi Raikkonen 4/5
Fernando Alonso 11/5
Felipe Massa 5/1
Lewis Hamilton a big 40/1
Ladbrokes give 3/1 for a Hamilton Podium finish
Can Rubens Barrichello @10/3 on Ladbrokes get to be in the points finish hes 14th on the grid so he needs to get into 8th place, may be worth a little flutter

I dont see how anyone can blame Hamilton for that crash, you can clearly see the wheel go!

Regardless on the subject of "will Hamilton crack?" I advised backing against Hamilton for the world title about 3 GPs ago because he has no experience of this situation, and I stick by it. He has the weight of a country on his shoulders, and while theres no doubting his ability, the other racers chasing him have more experience in a title race.

Anyway back on topic to the actual race.

Raikonnen at 4/5 looks like a solid bet, but I wont be taking it. Raikonnen and Ferrari may be coming back into things, but Kimi has a habit of "dropping the ball", so I'm going to be looking at Alonso or Massa for the win.

Alonso knows that with Hamilton in 10th this is a great chance to really pile the pressure on Hamilton and get right back into the title hunt. 11/5 is a good price.

Massa on the other hand needs to start outpointing the other 3 (Alonso, Hamilton, Kimi) to have any chance of even being considered a genuine title contender. Hes 9/2 for the win which I think is a good eachway shot.

As for poor old Lewis, despite what Ive already posted many times about him not winning the title this year, I dont expect him to give up. No one would have expected to be able to get a storming 20/1 on Hamilton to win a GP anywhen soon, so to see it makes me wonder if its worth considering, even if only Each Way. I think it is. I've already said I think Kimi will probably drop the ball tomorrow, and if he does Hamilton should be able to take another podium place.

So in short -

Alonso win @ 11/5
Massa EW @ 9/2
Hamilton EW @ 20/1

Good luck all Fingers Crossed

I cant believe anyone can knock the kid for what he's achieved, just look at his record in GP2 and formula 3.

I watched qualifying and the camera in the car showed he was alright straight away and yhen I saw the piece on the news and felt they made a real drama out of it but thats what the media do. Along with the hype.

Just before the accident he was doing the fastest lap and it wasnt his fault the wheel gun failed to tighten the wheel. From where I'm sat he's handled the pressure well leading 3 GP's.

Anyway I think Raikkonen will win tomorrow 4/5 Coral
Hamilton to finish in the points (even if he starts from the pit) 4/11 Paddy Power
Barrichello points (especially if it rains) 10/3 Laddies

I don't know why but i still believe that raikkönnen has a shot at becoming World Champion this year.

I cant see anybody beating Alonso now hes only 2 points behind the king of britain, think he will turn the heat up

i thought raikkonnen at the start thinking ferrari had the best car and imho think that kimi is the best driver.
now i'm still favouring kimi slightly, it's defo between top 3.
usually who evers leading at this stage wins it, but hamilton isnt experienced though yer neva know.
