Neither do the bookies!
I'm glad I bet as always on his win and didn't have to take him at 2.90.
It's still Lando at 2.35, Max at 2.90 and Oscar at 3.20, probably the closest ever a top 3 was this season.

I will look a bit into the specials, some insurance if he doesn't win, the single bet on McLaren at 1.45 is not attractive enough, some H2H but the odds are so low for almost everyone, Leclerc is just  1.17 against Hamilton, there must be something of value in there..

Well, I got my win, the chain of suffering is broken, and I did not expect it at all, the moment he had to give back the 1st place I thought it was over but, well, seems like something did change, I don't know what but it won't make me double down on another win this season.

Now, on the McLaren move, this bs has to stop, they are turning the whole thing into a farce.

That did seem like a long drought for Max but he finally did manage to win a race. And after that first chicane where he went off the track, I just knew Red Bull was going to tell Verstappen to give the place to McLaren. Lucky for him Norris and even Piastri's cars were off tuned this race for some reason.
They just couldn't keep their pace the entire race.
So great to know you grabbed that 9.00x before he got pole position to take maximum profit from Italy.

Great meme!

There should be one for Hulkenburg having a DNS (did not start) where he had to retire the car even before the formation lap had started.

Neah,I wish, I got him at 6.5x, I forgot to bet early, and the bookies lowered the bets on Friday.
Anyhow, it didn't matter cause I just increased the pot.
It would have been bad if he lost again, but I was prepared for this for the entire season, I only felt comfortable when I saw the McLaren swap, it was then that I knew the podium was decided.



99 points in luck!
I'm pessimistic about it, more like it was a new race and they managed to nail it by sheer chance.

We have another race week this time for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the Baku City Circuit!

Red Bull has does well on this track in the past so looking at Verstappen's odds to see if his luck continues on into Baku!

^^
Well that is deflating news going into this race weekend.
McLaren has done first and second place finishes seven times this season, so it just a matter of time after this race to call it over for the championship.
That is a huge gap for Red Bull and it is just a shame for Verstappen to try and be competitive for the rest of the season.

I've missed F1, I was looking forward to the race on the streets of Baku (this came sooo late this year)... and today I had such a chaotic day I've missed the qualifying.
I've watched a rerun and... of boy, soooo many red flags (6 of them!),... it was incredible.
And of course, because of so many stops and crashes, the starting grid will look interesting. I would never guessed that Carlos would get in 2025 in a Williams to start from second place, nor to see Liam on 3rd.

McLaren seems to not find their pace, RedBull looks good, Mercedes also looks strong.
Leclerc, Piastri, Albon, Colapinto, Bearman have pretty much wrecked their cars, I don't know which will get repaired and how good.
Hamilton will start behind Leclerc (and Leclerc has hit the wall!).

I'm curious how will the race go tomorrow, but given the "random positioning" and the possible problems remaining not fixed in some of the cars... it may be interesting.

I told everyone, I'm not going to bet on him once more, so it was ^&^*^ obvious he will win once more.  
But even without that I wouldn't have taken the bet, by the time I checked the betting, he was 2/5 before race, what would have been the point for the risks.

My problem right now is different, Max is getting toooooo many points and with Ferrari being what, 8 and 9 right now ,RB might pass them in the constructor standings and that's where my insurance bet was.
I can't believe I am going to cheer for Hamilton against Max, at least I'm safe with the Mercedes' bets.

Ps I type this in lap 50....if ... ... something something ahppens:
