Formula One Betting Analysis from PinnacleSports.com
Tennis has Wimbledon, Football has Wembley, and Formula One has Silverstone. The converted WWII bomber base in Northamptonshire is a Mecca for British Formula One fans. The famous track can also stake a strong claim to being the birth place of the F1 World Championship as a whole, having hosted the first ever race of the inaugural event in 1950.
This year sees four British drivers lining up on the starting grid, led by the sport’s new poster boy, Lewis Hamilton, with the chances of another Brit being added to the roll of honour the best for some time. Anticipating the Brit backing frenzy, www.PinnacleSports.com, the leading online bookmaker with a reputation for offering consistent value to the player has priced this market to just 101.5%.
Silvertone Resumes Pivotal Position in F1 Calendar
Having been moved back to a mid-season position, the British Grand Prix resumes a more pivotal position in the F1 calendar. Despite being slowed down by the 1991 modifications which fleshed out what was basically a simple oval, at 5.14 Km, Silverstone is still among the longest and fastest circuits on the calendar. The combination of high, medium and low speed corners makes it challenging to find a good set up. Succeeding at Silverstone requires a powerful, reliable engine in an aerodynamically efficient, well balanced chassis.
Becketts Corner forms part of a complex of corners which is probably the most demanding and technical set of turns of any Grand Prix circuit in the world, known as the Maggotts - Becketts - Chapel complex. The section tests driver skill as cars flick between a fast left and right turn for Maggotts in fifth gear, then a double drop of gears for Becketts. The drivers then emerge through the Chapel corner, which is taken flat out at about 235 kph in 5th gear to produce a high exit speed which is crucial to maintain into the Hangar Straight that follows.
What makes this complex even more challenging for drivers and exciting for players at leading online sports book, PinnacleSports.com, is that it allows various ideal lines to be employed. Lewis Hamilton showed with his dramatic manoeuvre in the 2006 GP2 what can be achieved at this section, but he won’t be the only driver attacking at Becketts.
Of course this being England, there is one critical factor that won’t be known until race day itself – the Great British weather. The elements throw a big unknown into the mixer with rain always a possibility. Wet conditions increase the demands on driver skill, while reducing speed but increasing the prevalence of overtaking as car limits change from lap-to-lap with decreased visibility, front and back.
