An upsurge in great results for smaller teams has shaken things up and seen F1 fans use bookies betting offers on some less high profile teams competing in races, such as Sauber or Force India.

The 2012 Formula 1 season has been one of the most entertaining and unpredictable in history.

As the season has progressed the traditionally competitive larger teams have risen to the top of the standings although there've been some exciting and surprising results from smaller teams.

In the first 7 races of the Formula 1 season we saw 7 different winners, making it difficult for online bookies to predict who will win each race in the 2012/13 F1 season.

Ferrari's Spanish driver Fernando Alonso has risen to the top of the Drivers Championship with a 40-point lead after 11 races due to his three race victories and consistent high points finishes.

2011 World Champion Sebastian Vettel is currently in 3rd place in the Drivers Championship, behind Mark Webber and both have a really good chance of victory.

Hamilton's chances of regaining the world title he first won in 2008 were increased with a victory in Hungary before the mid-season break. With the second half of the season still to go, McLaren-Mercedes driver Hamilton now lies 47 points behind Alonso in the Drivers Championship.

Formula 1 fans looking for a free sports bet to place on the qualifying stages of each Grand Prix have largely backed McLaren-Mercedes as the fastest qualifying team.

Red Bull-Renault's controversial suspension gave the team an unlawful advantage between qualifying and race days by allowing the team to alter suspension heights by hand.

Aerodynamic changes include alterations to the underside of the cars, which could prove expensive and reduce the budgets available over the remainder of the 2012 season.
