Ok since there’s an increasing number of people in the gambling section who rally watches F1 and bets on F1 instead of posting in here just for their sigs, let’s hear all your thoughts from a betting perspective.  I mean..  That’s what we’re all in here for right?    Or are we just bs’ing ourselves?

In general the second drivers haven't been good enough this year. It's been all Hamilton vs Verstappen. If you have two teams fighting for the title, then the performance of the second driver is crucial. Bottas should be taking points off Verstappen every time it's a circuit where Mercedes dominate, and Perez should be doing the same to Hamilton every time it's a Red Bull circuit. Plus, at every track the second driver should be able to cover off any potential undercut by the #1 driver of the opposing team. But it was nice this time that both second drivers played a valuable role.
