Still nothing available at the bookies so I decided to stick with Betfair and take some of what was on offer. Lewis’s odds are actually quite good and Heidfeld’s are much longer than I expected (although that depends on whether he ‘turns up’ for this one).

I have allowed myself £50 to place on outright bets just as a mini experiment. I want to stress this is not normally what I would do and the stakes are much different. Here is how my book looks….

Qualy Winner

Lewis +£22

Heidfeld +£48

Kubica +10

Webber +183

Anyone else -£17

Race Winner

Lewis +£35

Heidfeld +£100

Kubica +£11

Anyone else -£20

Points Finish

Button +£10 (or -£2 if not)

Fastest Lap

Lewis, Kovalainen or Kimi +£4.50

Anyone else -£10

Total stake = £49.00

I’m not fully matched on some of these but at the prices requested I should be before the start of qualy.

Fingers crosses and see you in a weeks time.
