Vettel returns as defending champVettel, the 24-year-old German driver for Red Bull Racing, which has also locked up the constructors championship already, has won a whopping 11 races in
auto racing betting action this season. Before last week's early withdrawal from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Vettel had finished in the Top 4 every one of the 17 previous races this season.
Should he find a way to win the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, Vettel would finish just one win short of the all-time single season wins recover (13) set in 2004 by Michael Schumacher with Ferrari.
Vettel won the Brazilian Grand Prix by a wide margin last year at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Place in Interlagos at elevation in Sau Paulo, Brazil. He started in second and claimed the lead very early from pole-sitter Nico Hulkenburg, and then dominated the remaining 70 laps of the 4,309-kilometre, 15-turn road course that features an unusual 10 left turns.
Vettel placed fourth in the Brazilian Grand Prix back in 2009 and 2008, and finished in 18th in his F1 debut at Interlagos back in 2007 in a race that was won by that year's drivers champ, Kimi Raikkonen.
Vettel's Red Bull teammate Mark Webber got the win in the 2009 race and offers good value to win the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday at 9/1. Brazil native Felipe Massa made his home fans proud with wins in 2006 and 2008, and also finished in second in 2007. He's got a pretty payoff tied to his name at 66/1 to get his third career win at Interlagos this weekend.
All other drivers simply chasing VettelLewis Hamilton, who is fifth in the driver standings, won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last week to get his third with of the
auto racing betting season and is second on the lines behind Vettel to get the win on Sunday at 11/4. Hamilton made four previous starts in this race, finishing as low as seventh and as high as third each time.
Jenson Button, who is Hamilton's teammate with McLaren, placed third last week. He has raced at Interlagos for the past decade without registering a win. His best finish was third in 2006 and he has posted consecutive fifth-place finishes in the last two races in Brazil. Button is on the board at 11/2 behind Hamilton.
Fernando Alonson, the second-place finisher at Abu Dhabi, is 10 points back of Button in third place in the driver standings and will be looking for his first win at Brazil after earning two second-place results and four third-place finishes (including 2010) since 2003. Alonso, who is part of Ferrari, is rated above Webber and Massa on the list of contenders to win on Sunday at 7/1.
