The latest thoughts and opinion from The NR F1 Podcast crew
The second half of the season begins at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit, which in the past has produced some classic races. From a betting point of view, the downside of this race is the weather and the unpredictable nature of it. At the time of writing it looks like it could be a dry weekend, […]
Earlier in the year, Formula One announced some suggested changes for the 2017 season. A few of them have already fallen by the wayside, including the return of in-race refuelling. But there was also higher revving, louder engines and making the cars up to six seconds per lap faster… To get an opinion on all this, […]
The Hungarian Grand Prix is a race Lewis Hamilton enjoys. He has won four of the eight races he has competed in and is my clear favourite for this weekend. Unfortunately the bookies seem to agree and his odds for a pole position and race win double are a very small at 8/11. If you wanted […]
With Lewis Hamilton doing the double and Pastor Maldonado easily in the points, we made a profit of £8 based on £5 per bet at the Canadian Grand Prix – and it could have been so much better had Kimi Raikkonen not spun and finished just outside podium. But we can’t complain. This leaves is […]
Where do I start after the Monaco Grand Prix? I wouldn’t say I had the same amount of bad luck as Lewis Hamilton, but like him it could have been so different. My bet of Lewis achieving the hat-trick (pole, race win and fastest lap) was looking so good for a while, and then the […]
The Spanish Grand Prix betting tips made a loss of £2.50, with a £5 bet on each tip. It was looking good on Saturday after Nico Rosberg’s pole and as mentioned last time, his odds were far too high… Unfortunately Sunday didn’t go as predicted, Ferrari’s upgrades didn’t produce the lap time they were hoping for […]
I know a few people enjoy putting a little bet on to spice up sporting events, and although Formula One isn’t the most popular sport to bet on, I thought I’d add a few bets before each grand prix that I think have some value. I’m not saying these predictions and tips will make us […]
It is fair to say that so far this season McLaren have struggled. Their rekindled engine partnership with Honda hasn’t flourished as we all hoped, and for a team with such a prestigious name in the sport, the budget, and with the history of McLaren, to not pick up a single point in their first […]
Formula One will always struggle to find the perfect combination between pure racing and delivering a show – and in my opinion, Nascar and Indy Car is more about putting on a show than pure racing – so F1 is doing a fairly good job at getting the combination right… There is F1 talk of awarding points […]
Complacency – it’s an ugly word and in any sport, it’s not really going to do you any favours. Even one where technology can often get you out of a human bind… Now let’s be clear. What Ferrari managed in Malaysia was special. The look on Sebastian Vettel’s face for the rest of his Sunday […]
