Some tempting odds on offer, Da Matta lead most of last years race and he's 250-1, and if the weather is dodgy anything could happen. If it's wet and Ferrari don't win another Bridgestone runner could so Fisi at 250-1 or Heidfeld at 600-1 look tempting.

I don't work for Paddy Power, got sent this via my Autosport on-line subscription, other on-line betting services are available...

to be honest its a brave man to put the money anywhere other than Ferrari. Button does have a chance, Montoya seems to have good races at Silverstone and the Renaults are also in the hunt but I wouldnt put serious money (for me thats over a tenner) anywhere but Ferrari. Small odds but an almost certainty...

I came very, VERY close to putting a tenner on Johnny Herbert to win a few years ago at 300-1.

I didn't (because I thought the £10 would be better spent on beer!)

Who won?

id just go for schumacher. terrible really, but lets face it, hes won 8/9 races and yet the odds are 2-1. fair odds id think. william hill are more to my taste offering e/w odds to 3rd rather than second if i understand correctly. in which case, an e/w punt on both button and barrichello would probably see money in the bank that you could maybe further gamble on an educated guess - maybe alonso to make the podium as a banker/bigger payout? lets face it, betting on anyone other than a fezza, BAR or renault to make the top 3 is a very brave move. youll make less by taking the easy odds, but at least youll walk with something...

There's a reason why Coulthard is 50-1....he's sh1t!

I've put 2 quid on Rat-Boy Button at 9-1 - certainly more chance of winning than Coulthard.
