Gambling update for those of you who like a flutter...

Despite David Coulthard notching up another point at the Spanish Grand Prix, bookies are offering odds on the Red Bull driver of only 200-1 on him becoming F1 World Champion, the first Scot to do so since Sir Jackie ‘it was tougher in my day’ Stewart. In fact, the existence of the Loch Ness Monster is considered more likely than DC winning the title, with the legendary monster priced at 100-1 while the prospect of an alien spaceship landing on the White House lawn is only 50-1. However, David can take some consolation in the fact that his odds look positively generous compared to either of the two Minardi drivers, who are at 1500-1. For comparison it’s a safer bet on Brtiney Spears calling her new baby ‘Toxic’ at 500-1 (with Paddy Power, if you fancy a punt).

I decided to put money on the F1 this year, it actually makes watching the racing a little more interesting!!!

I bet on Renault winning the constructors championship with an each way on Alonso and Fisichella to win the championship.

I also put a quicky on DC and Redbull, as the odds were too tempting not to

Ive seen the odds go down on Fisi as he won the first race then back up as he isnt doing too well now.
Alonsos have just continuously gone down, to the point I think youd end up owing the bookies money now

All good fun
