Hamilton to gamble in Monte Carlo

Brit goes at a cracking price

We race towards the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo this weekend for the Monaco Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel has been the most impressive driver in the opening exchanges of this season, and was again fastest in practice.

Rival Lewis Hamilton goes at a handy price to fire himself to the top-step on Sunday, but the Englishman has been rather unconvincing so far. He did take the flag last year – will he do it again? Click here to bet on a number of F1 markets, or read on as we pick through the value.

Drama has returned to F1

Sebastian Vettel stands at the head of the driver’s championship table, boasting 104 points and two Grand Prix wins. The German had to settle for the runner-up spot last time out in Spain however, ending second behind main rival, and pre-season favourite, Lewis Hamilton, who led Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo home in style.

F1 bosses promised a summer of drama, following a number of upgrades and rule changes, and the race in Spain was a fine example of just what they had in mind. A precise game plan from Mercedes, coupled with a brave round of driving from their English pilot, won the day, and fans would’ve been delighted to see the team finally pushing in the same direction.

Hamilton defending champ

That maximum kept Lewis second in the overall table, moving to within just six points of leader Vettel. Mercedes are, however, threatening to run away with it in the constructors’ championship, going into the weekend eight points clear of Ferrari on 161 points. With Red Bull back in third on 72, we already have a straight two horse race on our hands.
