Punters' guide to the Austrian GP

Any big payouts this weekend will depend on unreliability from McLaren and Ferrari, but so far this season there has been very little of that: Ralf Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella remain the only other visitors to the podium.

However, the Austrian track is expected to suit the Jordan cars, so Frentzen and Trulli could be good bets at 33/1 and 50/1 respectively - but only if they can stay on track while the main contenders fall by the wayside. Regular excellent qualifying performances from Jacques Villeneuve have so far failed to blossom into top points finishes, but if he can sit at the sharp end of the grid again come Sunday, an each way bet may be worth a shot.
