Good odds for Schumacher may stick some wonga on him.
Maybe a Schumacher, Hamilton and Alonso Top 3

For now this odds are logical, given the public perception of the strength of the drivers and their teams. This odds may change after the first tests.

Odds look about right....bookies got stung very badly last year. However, Button and Massa look a solid bet each way with Rosberg the outside bet...after all if the Merc is strong he will be in with a chance and right now no one knows if Schumi's neck will last.

[Mark]

Yeah, looks about right. We have three teams in McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes all fully capable of winning the championship, and all with super strong driver lineups. It's going to be interesting!

I think Vettel is worth a tenner :)

At those odds it's better to put £5 on Webber

[driveace]

I think they have it about right.Interesting year ahead we hope !
Button admitted a double will be hard work,get the impression he knows the score.

[Garry Walker]

I will put a few hundred euros on Schumacher.

Vettel is certainly an enticing choice based on those odds, especially as due to the most economic engine in Renault I assume Red Bull has a decent chance of having the package to beat on track in 2010. Based on that, even Kubica's odds are quite good.

[I am evil Homer]

Renault isn't fast enough and won't be developed to win the title, hence the odds. Interesting that Nick is 66/1 when he doesn't have a drive :D

The Renault is economic only in the factory car, not in the RBR. Got a graphic from a rival forum, so I can't give you a link.

Can someone explain what that means in real money?

Hamilton is 5/2. what do I win if I bet $10.00 on him to win?

How about Rubens at 40/1, same bet.

[Alfa Fan]

Hamilton 5/2 * 10 = return of 25 + stake of 10 back = 35
Rubens 40/1 * 10 = return of 400 + stake of 10 back = 410

Cool, thanks!
