Been thinking about deciding on the best drivers. I thought looking at race odds would be a good indicator since bookies are not interested in emotional reasons for choosing the drivers, they are driven purely by who is most likely to win. Youd expect the drivers of the best cars to be at the top of the odds and to a acertain extent that is correct but guess(before scrolling down!) which two drivers are punching above their cars weight.....




















Hamilton and Alonso. My favourite driver and one im less keen on but who is indoubtably one of the best.
Here are the odds :-

Button15/8
Vettel 5/1

No suprises there. But the next two drivers, beating both toyota's, both Ferrari's, the second Brawn and the second red Bull are

Hamilton 9/1
Alonso 9/1


The rest
Barrichello 10/1
Raikonen 10/1
Massa 12/1
Trulli 14/1
Glock 14/1
Webber 16/1
Kubica 16/1
Rosberg 40/1
Heidfeld 40/1
Kovaleinen 50/1
Piquet 150/1

Cant be bothered to type the last few. You'd win loads if they won the race.
I think its quite an intersting way to look at it anyway, purely objective not subjective.

at Piquet.

Hamilton and Alonso usually get low odds cause they are generally up there, and just as importantly here, rarely retire... only a fool would bet on them at those odds though, lets face it, if you had a fiver you'd put it on Webber or Barrichello over those two this season!

Kimi and Barrichello on equal odds, and look at Webber's odds. Who writes these

Think it was Williams the bookmakers.
