Sports Blog 01/09/2016: Formula One Preview – Italian Grand Prix, Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th September 2016



With almost two thirds of the season over and done with can Lewis Hamilton pull further ahead of Nico Rosberg with a victory at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend?


Hamilton headed into the Belgium Grand Prix looking for his 5th consecutive (and 7th overall) win of the season. However, left to start the race in 21st place due to a series of engine penalties it looked like the Brit would likely have surrendered his lead over Rosberg by Sunday afternoon. Instead Hamilton pulled off a minor miracle, surging to a 3rd place finish (far, far above his own claims that he would struggle to break the top 10) to keep a 9 point distance between him and his teammate despite Rosberg taking the top spot at the Spa Francorchamps.

So, it’s still all to play for as the drivers make their way to Monza. Despite the minor setback in Belgium momentum is arguably still on Hamilton’s side, hence why he sits atop the Race Index (where 1st place gets 80 points, 2nd place 60 points, etc.) with a spread of 58-62 to Rosberg’s 51-55, alongside fixed odds of 8/11 and 2/1 respectively. If Hamilton is victorious he will equal the 4 Italian Grand Prix wins managed by Nelson Piquet and be only 1 behind Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of 5.

That also leaves the Brit as firm favourite for yet another title win, at a Drivers’ Championship Index spread of 54-57 to Rosberg’s 43-46. In terms of Season Points, our traders have Hamilton at a spread of 365-371 (he currently has 232) with Rosberg (who has 223) at 340-346. Of course Mercedes are far and away the leaders for the Constructors’ Championship, though there is still room to speculate on their overall haul, the team at a Season Points spread of 705-717 off the 455 they have already collected and compared to the 703 they won last season.
