Qualifying Update.
I am now quite confident that Ferrari will not get pole position today. The cool track conditions really seem affect the cars ability to get enough heat into the front tyres quickly enough to set a competitive qualifying time. BMW may also be suffering from the same problem as their T1 times were regularly poor compared to McLaren who appear to the best of the big teams in terms of being able to hit top speed straight away. With Hamilton still looking to have an edge over Kovy in qualifying he looks the favourite to me.
In Barcelona we saw Alonso only just missing out on pole with a fuel load, just 4 laps shy of pole man Raikkonen. Well he is right up there again this morning, just behind fellow Renault powered Webber. We all know what Webber is capable off over a single lap, and if Red Bull decide to be aggressive and send him out 4 or five laps light, he could get pole. Alonso looks vastly over priced on Betfair at 42.00Certainly with Ferrari looking badly handicapped and BMW not looking great, the battle for pole looks exceptionally open.
2 point e/w Hamilton to set fastest qualifying time @ 6.50 with Boylesports. won 0.2 points A very decent price, my favourite for pole and a top three place looks well within his grasp. 1 point e/w Alonso to set fastest qualifying time @ 21.00 with Paddy Power lost 2 points The evidence is there from Spain and it would be no surprise to see him on the front row again. 0.5 point e/w Webber to set fastest qualifying time @ 67.00 with BetFred lost 1 point Like Alonso in Barcelona, the pace is there if the team go aggressive. Might be a match bet posted 30 mins before Qualifying |
