Formula 1: Who will win the Korean Grand Prix?

[Johnny Karp]

There are three more races before the end of this year's F1 season and the first of these three will be the Korean GP this weekend. The situation is quite tense in the Drivers Championship, Mark Webber is leading with 220 points but Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel are right behind him with 206 points. The winner of any grand prix gets 25 points so the race is still wide open.

Let's see the odds for the Korean GP from bet365.com:

I'd like to see Hamilton win but I don't think that will happen somehow.  If I was placing a bet, I would go with Alonso or Vettel - in fact, I would prob bet on both being as the odds are quite good.

I agree with you Blue. The right moment to bet would be now because the odds might change after the qualifying session.

You're right.  I've got some dough on Bwin Sportsbook which I could use.

These are their odds for the top 4:

Sebastian Vettel (GER/Red Bull)   3.25 / +225.00  / 9/4
Lewis Hamilton (GBR/McLaren)   4.00  / +300.00 / 3/1
Fernando Alonso (ESP/Ferrari)   4.00   / +300.00 / 3/1
Mark Webber (AUS/Red Bull)   4.00   / +300.00 / 3/1

Better odds for Vettel but worse for Hamilton and Alonso.

I've placed a bet on both Vettel and Alonso.

Thanks Johnny.  Think I will need it.

OMG.  Vettel was just overtaken by Alonso and then Vettel's engine blew up!

Well Alonso won but I didn't - I put the wrong bet on and I'm gutted.

That's too bad Blue, losing a bet like that can be frustrating. Better luck next time!

I thought I was selecting Alonso and Vetel to win on two single bets but I picked free practice winner instead.

Thanks for your lucky wishes Johnny.
