Brawn GP all the rage in Formula 1 Betting
Formula 1 betting has gathered momentum ahead of the Australian GP on March 29, but this year the betting story isn’t McLaren or Ferrari.
Well Lewis Hamilton is drifting out to 9/2 in the Drivers Championship is pretty significant, having been as short as 2/1, but this year is all about Brawn GP, the ex-Honda team led by Ross Brawn.
Last week they were 150/1 in the Constructor’s Championship, but now they are as short as 9/2 with bet365. Centrebet are best priced at 10/1, but aren’t offering any each way terms.
They have done very well in the testing, with Rubens Barrichello thrashing the likes of Felipe Massa (Ferrari) in Barcelona. Team-mate Jenson Button is also also topping the times, and is a crazy 11/1 to win the Drivers Championship.
The car is very well styled and has taken a lot of work. Obviously we don’t know how much petrol they were testing the cars with.
If you were interested in jumping aboard the gamble, I’d prefer to be on Barrichello at a much bigger price – 25/1. A classic case of the British public over-betting their man (e.g. Andy Murray, Australian Open fav. 2009). Rubens has 9 career wins to Jenson’s 1, and is a tempting 4/1 in the Drivers Championship without the Big 6.
Jenson Button is the 5/2 favourite for the Australian GP, but Fernando Alonso has also been supported into 9/1. Renault have progressed well with the R29, but will probably be outclassed. Alonso reckons that both BMW and Toyota will be quicker.
