The inside line on the Canadian GP

Michelin has done a strong job this year and, in Canada, the high speeds and heavy braking means that heat durability is an issue. The Michelins are at their best in hot weather and if Saturday/Sunday is sunny, some of the odds make interesting reading.

Monaco winner Juan Montoya, for instance, is 10-1 to repeat his success, and this on a track where the BMW engine should be in its element. Ralf Schumacher, remember, won this race for Williams-BMW in 2001, overhauling his brother en route. If you fancy he might do it again, you can have 16-1. Or, if you prefer McLaren, Kimi Raikkonen is available at 11-2 and David Coulthard at 10-1.

Jaguar and Mark Webber have turned in some strong qualifying performances this year, the engine has long been under-rated and this is North America, where a strong showing would go down especially well. Nobody is suggesting that they will compromise their race strategy with an absurd fuel load, but if they qualify a little lighter, Webber is 66-1 for the pole. A daft punt? Very probably, but 6-4 for points is certainly not and the optimistic among you might even look at 20-1 for a podium.

The dual forecast Schumacher/Raikkonen odds have taken a tumble recently and you will only get 10-3 if Michael and Kimi finished first and second at Montreal in any order. I would say that Michael/Juan Pablo Montoya is worth serious consideration at 8-1. And so, if it does turn into a Michelin extravaganza, is Juan Pablo/Ralf, either way round, at 40-1!
