This is the third and certainly the last time I've backed him this season unless he comes up with the goods.<br />Last week's second place by Button was a nasty knock as regards my spread bet and I wouldn't be too upset if he were to finish outside the top three today in Hungary. <br />Good luck guys with your bets on Grosjean, he's a big price and his first win can't be far away.<br /><br />Peter from PutneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-82886351171730321522012-07-29T09:20:19.242+01:002012-07-29T09:20:19.242+01:00Pirelli reckon a one stop is possible (presumably ...Pirelli reckon a one stop is possible (presumably for those starting one new tyres).<br />Might be a possible strategy for Webber or di Resta, but I don't see any tempting bets (eg Webber top 6 odds aren't generous enough).<br /><br />The threat of rain makes everything a bit more complicated, too. However, only light showers are forecast, so with the temperature in the mid 30s, a really wet track is unlikely.Nigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-74513347229430702122012-07-28T18:45:06.490+01:002012-07-28T18:45:06.490+01:00I just watched the highlights.

Apparently 3/4 of the last Hungarian Grands Prix have been won from the dusty side, which is a bit odd, and only once in the last seven has a driver won from pole [although that was Hamilton].<br /><br />Other things I looked at included hedging Vettel for a podium and Webber for points, but the odds were unappealing, Raikkonen for a podium (decided he wouldn't get one) and I very nearly backed Button for a podium at 2.75.Morris Dancernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6413493203849579481.post-46525942637507094822012-07-28T17:15:14.115+01:002012-07-28T17:15:14.115+01:00"I've decided to back Grosjean to win at ..."I've decided to back Grosjean to win at 8.2, with a hedge set up at 3. "<br /><br />I backed Grosjean at 8.4 - must have left it a little later than you.<br />Haven't set up a hedge yet, but I agree it's sensible.<br /><br />Grosjean probably won't get in front at the beginning (dustier side of the track), but if he can stay ahead of Vettel, I think he might be in with a shout.<br /><br />Now looking at practice stats to see if I can dredge up any other ideas.Nigelnoreply@blogger.com
