F1 2008 Season Kicks Off 16.03.08

Ah, its may fave time of year - the future champion racehorses are just being born, its nearly my bday (presents!), its nearly easter (chocolate galore!), its nearly the Aintree & Grand National Festival & of course the Formula One season is about to begin. The drivers I am supporting this year are Nico Rosberg, Heikki Kovalainen, Nelson Piquet Jr, Robert Kubica & most of all Lewis Hamilton (pictured above) of course. Team wise, I'm cheering on Ferrari & Renault. Now the real problem. My bet of who will win the Drivers Championship. I KNOW it'll be Lewis but his odds are so shit (13-8f as opposed to the damn fab odds of 25-1 I got last year) so I'm looking elsewhere.

My gut instincts usually see me right, so Im thinking fairly radically of backing Robert Kubica at 25's. I liked him a lot last year. He has cool under pressure, is quick & has a good car beneath him. He's also tough as he came back as good as ever after a massive crash last year. He's been unlucky in Oz today not to take pole ahead of Lewis in qualifying due to a little mistake which makes me all the more tempted. Fuck it, Im going for it. Denman rescued me for the year so I can afford to stump up a decent wager.

Ciao for now
