Yet again Jenson Button has showed that his Brawn GP teams success is here to stay by setting the fastest time in practice. He will be looking to clock up his third win of the season on a circuit where he finished 16 last year. Team mate Rubens Barrichello finished the practice in third place with Nico Rosberg’s Williams splitting the pair.

Last years race was won by Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren, but this year he may struggle to repeat the performance. There was a glimmer of hope though as the modified McLaren which now sports a new diffuser and front wing took top spot during the first session. Practice times never reveal the full story, but if these modifications have improved the car that much then Hamilton’s current Betfair odds of 16 (correct at time of writing) do look like quite a good deal.

If you don’t fancy Button’s chances in this race then there are some great odds available for other drivers. Barrichello at 7.4 might be a good value bet, as is Nico Rosberg at 17. I am also tempted to put a bet on Mark Webber at 38 with a view of trading out during the race.

If you decide to have a bet this weekend then good luck to you. Let’s hope there is not to much rain this time!
