It's Canada and expect carnage! Only three races have never required the safety car. Safety Car deployment is currently
1.4 @ sporting bet.
The weather looks fine for Friday practice, so Mclaren should top the time sheets again (they always seem to)!
Ham @ 3.0 But @ 4.5
Rain does pose a threat for Saturday qualifying and that could throw up all kinds of surprises, but given the high speed nature of the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, it'll be the top championship contenders that make up the front rows of the grid I suspect. If however, rain interrupts one of the sessions, there could be mayhem! In that case, Renault or Mercedes could be a decent shout if the top guys get caught out.
Mclaren have major technical updates for this week, which include a front and rear wing, hopefully curing some of the downforce issues they've been suffering through fast corners. Canada has big straights, which will suit Mclaren's F-Duct.
The race on Sunday looks like it'll be a damp one! If Mclaren start from pole, I'd say they will win it. If they are hampered in qualifying, expect them to scythe through the field on the straights! If odds appear for a wet race, bet on it!
Alonso... another team and spitting the dummy again! Massa has just signed another contract with Ferrari so he'll be on a high, whereas Alonso his suffering a dip in form. When the match bets appear, I'd go with Massa to beat Alonso in the race.
Best leave Redbull alone... who know what'll happen there!
