Motor racing can seem very predictable, you only have to look at the way the Ferrari team has dominated Formula One over the past few years, however, the tables were turned completely at the start of the 2005 season and the team has been having a dreadful season. If anyone had predicted Fernando Alonso having such a good start to the season, they surely would have been given very good odds.
As the championship progressess, usually one or two drivers dominate and hence their odds shorten. There is still a chance to make a killing, take the United States Round at Indianapolis wher two thirds of the teams withdrew from the race, Whoever placed a bet on Monteiro coming third would have had a good return on their wager.
