Monaco GP Practice 2 Preview


Sadly Lewis Hamilton couldn’t bank for either of our practice 1 bets, with salt being rubbed into the wound by Hekki Kovalinen’s Caterham blowing up and ending the session prematurely for our liking when Hamilton set to take on another attack at a flying lap (having been fourth at the time).

Hamilton’s favourite for Practice 2 but he’s posted the fastest time only once in that session, and Alonso would make more appeal for this event, although it remains to be seen how seriously he takes this session with his pace confirmed.

Instead, an each/way bet on Sebastian Vettel at 7/1 makes more appeal. Vettel has found his form consistently throughought the year and with Monaco a track that has suited the Red Bull down through the years, and with a strong practice 3 record, he makes a lot of appeal as one sense that there’s still potential for him to improve on his first practice showing.

While he makes most appeal, it could pay to have a cheeky touch on Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg, who both have shown better form in the second session this season. Button was going particularly well towards the end of P1 before having his charge curtailed by the red flag and is in a car that’s one of the fastest on the grid, while Rosberg has made the top 3 in the last two P2 sessions and the Mercedes has made the top 3 in every single P2 session this year.


Advice

1 pt win, 1 pt each/way Sebastivan Vettel (7/1*, 25/1 Bet365)

1 pt each/way Jenson Button (14/1 Stan James)

0.5 pts each/way Nico Rosberg (50/1 Bet365)
