Ferrari have a chance to kick start their season in Shanghai

Click here for all the latest Chinese Grand Prix odds

Ferrari have had a miserable start to the season, failing to score a single half-point in either of the opening two races. With the Brawn cars receiving a thumbs-up from the FIA, they will be expected to dominate again in Shanghai but here’s why it might be worth betting on Kimi Raikkonen or Felipe Massa being the best-placed driver besides Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello at 8/1 and 10/1 with Sky Bet:

» Massa failed to score points in either of the first two races last season before winning the third and he scored more points than any other driver outside of Australia and Malaysia in 2008.

» Since joining Ferrari in 2006, the Brazilian has never finished three straight races outside of the points.

1. In fifteen of the last nineteen seasons - including each of the last three - the winner of the opening race of the season has gone on to win the Drivers Championship. Jenson Button is now the favourite and the best price available on him is 3/1 with Boylesports.

2. The winning team at the first Grand Prix of the season have won the Constructors Championship in seven of the last nine years. Brawn GP are still available at 11/5 with Boylesports but Ferrari, who broke this trend last season to triumph, are still favourites. The best price available on the Scuderia is 11/8 with Ladbrokes.
