I bet that the person on pole will not win the race. Good quali setup but in the end will be beat by superior race setup. My prediction... Vettel gets passed by Alonso on strategy, tire conservation, or reliability.

This comment shows perfectly that you talk about things you have no clue about. BetFair bets are placed online. There are no bookies involved. The odds just represent the money the fans bet.

Has the pitlane speed limiter always been that jumpy and I'm just now noticing it, or is something different this year?

Jesus, we must have the most incompetent and ignorant commentators on Danish television.

One guy is your typical general sports commentator - knows his way around some names and stuff like that, but is completely ignorant of the technical side (and acknowledges that, which is good, but basically means he just randomly drones on about trivialities to say something to pass the time).

The other guy is Nicolas Kiesa, who used to test with Minardi if I'm not mistaken. He's supposed to be the technical pundit, but he gets it wrong most of the time. I remember him talking about how the F-duct blew the diffuser last year, and right now he's talking about how the DRS is not a big load on the drivers because the already have the adjustable front-wing. Right.
