Re: Betting against your favourite driver - and winning!

I think this only works if your favourite driver happens to be Lewis Hamilton who is odds on to evens every race!

I'd love to see the breakdown and return of your bet though.

There are very rare instances where the driver keeps the original, Coulthard kept his 2nd place trophy from the Spanish GP after he was involved in the plane crash the week or so before. Pretty sure Lewis got to keep his trophy from Canada 2007.
