60th Fia Formula One World Championship 2009 Special by Chris Williams
Speculation is rife surrounding the 2009 Formula One season. With the biggest series of rule book shake ups in 25 years, the title is anyone’s for the taking where sports bettors are concerned.
There is, however, one team who have managed to cause a stir. Step forward Brawn GP, formerly Honda F1. With reports that they have been outpacing competitors in testing, those in Formula One spread betting circles are certainly starting to sit up and take notice.
The 60th FIA Formula One World Championship season will see a total of 10 teams competing in this year’s prestigious racing event, scheduled to take place over 17 rounds.
The biggest change of face in this year’s F1 comes in the shape of several cost-cutting rules implemented by the FIA.
Grooved tyres are being replaced with slick, smooth substitutes, while the general aesthetics of the cars will appear different. New rules governing Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) and streamlined aerodynamics will see the cars themselves boast bigger front wings and smaller rear wings, along with a host of other changes that may affect those interested in F1 betting.
The upcoming new technologies, in addition to the KERS system, mean that F1 will not only be deploying green technology, but also offering drivers a greater on-track power at their arsenal.
F1 spread betting will be impacted further by the new points system, which dictates that the driver with the most wins is crowned champion. Had this system been advocated last year, Lewis Hamilton would have lost the title to Felipe Massa.
Lewis Hamilton bettors are facing a tough decision. Hamilton, who made his debut only two years ago, will be battling it out on the track against other favourites, such as legendary veteran racer Rubens Barrichello.
Another backed to win the 2009 FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship is Kimi Raikkonen. After a bad season in 2008, ‘bi-annual’ Raikkonenen is expected to make a comeback this year. Whether losing the spot to Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa will serve to hinder or encourage his drive remains a question on the lips of Formula One bettors, but critics still expect him to be a major contender in dominating the field.
In The Formula One betting game, Ferrari are clear leaders of the constructors’ championship pack, along with Brawn GP. Hot on their tails are Renault, Toyota and Williams, with McLaren, Torro Rossa and Red Bull in the middle of the pack and Force India expected as back markers again.
In the speculation corner, there has also been talk from Renault boss Flavio Briatore of an illegal rear diffuser being used by Toyota, Williams and Brawn GP.
How this will affect the mix is anyone’s guess in the F1 spread betting stakes – at least until the Australian Grand Prix on 29th March – which will eliminate all the guess work and give a more comprehensive view.
Formula One certainly looks set for a complete shake-up in 2009, making it one of the most eagerly-anticipated in decades for the Formula One bettors. On your marks, get set…
