2 Easy Qualifying Winners for the U.S. Grand Prix

[Myron]

Both at Pinnacle:

Rubens Barichello -140 over Kimmi Raikkonen for 5 units. Barichello was 4th in 1st practice and 2nd in the qualifying session. Raikkonen was 9th in first practice and 9th in qualifying. He was over a second slower than Barichello. He also has outqualified Raikkonen in 3/4 of the races this year and has a much better car suited to the course. Barichello will challenge for the pole. Raikkonen will be mid pack

Olivier Panis -130 over Jacques Villeneuve for 5 units. Panis was 3rd in first practice and relatively slow in qualifying although he messed up on his lap. Villeneuve was near the bottom in both. Furthermore Panis has outqualified Villeneuve this year in all but 2 races. This is a gimme. If I could bet more than 5 units I would.

Adding 2 plays at Olympic.

Trulli -160 over Raikkonen. Trulli easily beat Raikkonen in every practice session so far. No reason to suspect he won't beat him in Q2 also.

Ralph +125 over Montoya. Don't understand this one. Ralph was behind Montoya only in the last practice session but outpaced him in all others including Q1. Ralph has also beaten Montoya in most qualifying sessions this year. Plus I have a hunch Williams will play some tricks this race and will have Ralph with a low fuel load and Montoya with a full load with the hopes that Ralph can get out front and keep a slow pace, allowing Montoya to stay close while getting better fuel mileage. Of course Ferrari may do the same thing .

BTW, whatever happened to 1837?

Good question.

Always liked his insights into the F1 races.

Haven't seen Stanley make any picks this year either.
