Ladbrokes has priced up a 'Best of the Rest' Market for the Spanish Grand Prix. This is a market without the Ferrari, McClaren and BMW cars. Alonso is a predictably short price (4/7) due to his second on the grid. However, this was achieved by 'short fuelling' his car - his actual race pace is simnilar to his temmate Piquet. Alonso will have to stop early for his first pit stop (and may even make an extra 3rd stop) which could seriously damage his finishing position.
I've opposed Alonso with Barrichello. The Honda cars have a new areo package this weekend which has made their car more competitive. Barichello is 11th on the grid, enabling him to put a heavy amount of fuel in his car for a long distance to his first fuel stop (the top 10 cannot change their fuel levels).
I've had 1pt E/W at 20/1 on Barichhello (1/4 1,2,3) - this place part of this makes particular appeal (the book has a good shape for place bets due to the 4/7 favourite).
All credit to Ladbrokes for fomring an annovative market. However, I had to ring Ladbrokes to get this bet on as my online account has been restriced. They still wouldn't let me have the 2pts E/W I wanted! My Skybet online account has now also been restriced to 1/100 of stakes for 'normal' punters. This looks like it could be becoming a problem.....
