Some Poor Results

There were no Serie A tips and the EPL bets were voided due to cancellation following the death of Her Majesty. The potential results from the EPL bets ranged from -£20 to +£51.80 and the league is far and away my best.

La Liga: 2 tips, one win = +£4.4

Ligue 1: 2 tips, no wins = -£20

Bundesliga: 2 tips, no wins = -£20

Total = -£35.6

Less than stellar. One French bet was wrong by miles, the other was a goal off coming good. One of the German bets was a goal off coming good (if I’d adopted the approach taken for one of the voided bets, laying a strong away side rather than backing the home side to win, they would’ve come good, but that’s something to consider for the future).

On the plus side, the goals bet I made came off, which also happened on the only previous occasion, so that’s a positive sign.

F1 2025 Canadian Grand Prix Preview (Undercutters Ep24 transcript)

Image
Hello, everyone. This is the 24th Undercutters podcast, looking ahead to the Canadian Grand Prix. I’ve got to admit, this is one of my favourite tracks on the calendar, partly because of the amazing race in 2011. As always, if you want to get in touch you can find me on Twitter or Blue Sky as MorrisF1, or at the morrisf1.blogspot.com website. Will Piastri continue extending his lead over Norris? Will Williams bounce back after a rare pointless weekend? And will Verstappen keep his cool this time?   Quick Look at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve 00m40s The Canadian Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneueve, a short circuit of 5.36km which means we get 70 laps in the race. There are three DRS zones, two of which are in sector 3 (the latter drifts into the start of sector 1) and share a detection point. The other zone is in sector 2. Sector 3 is prime passing territory, with a hairpin at turn 10, and the following straight also having decent potential for getting ahead. ...

F1 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Review (Undercutters Ep17 transcript)

Image
Hello, everyone. This is the 17th Undercutters podcast, reviewing the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and its implications for the title battle. I’m your host, Morris, and you can find me on Twitter and Blue Sky as MorrisF1. And if you like the podcast please remember to leave a positive rating as this helps a lot. But enough call to action nonsense. We have F1 to talk about. Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Qualifying 00m28s While some races have been hit and miss, qualifying has almost always thrown up surprises this year. Saudi Arabia was no exception. The Aston Martin was not looking good, so Stroll being the fastest man eliminated in Q1 is not exactly unexpected. Also eliminated were Doohan, Hulkenberg, Ocon, and Bortoleto. Of those, Ocon was perhaps most surprising, although this circuit does not seem to suit the Haas especially well. This was backed up by Bearman being slowest in Q2. At this stage we also lost Albon, Lawson, Alonso, and Hadjar. Slightly surprised to see Hadjar outqualifi...

F1 2024 Title Fight

Image
 [Note: this is the script plus additional graphics for the first Undercutters podcast. Audio can be found here ]. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the first Undercutters podcast, hosted by me, Morris. We start at the end of a fantastic Formula 1 season, one of the very best of recent times. There’s a lot to look back at and we’re going to start at the most obvious place: the title battle between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. Verstappen absolutely dominated the 2023 season, crushing all opposition to win by a comedically large 290 points. His next closest challenger was his team mate, Sergio Perez, who had just 285 points, less than half Verstappen’s total of 575. The closest non-Red Bull driver was Lewis Hamilton on 234 points.     In 2023, there was only one race that Red Bull didn’t win, when Carlos Sainz claimed the victory for Ferrari in Singapore. Perez won in Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan and every other race was Verstappen’s. While neutrals and fans of other team...
