With people telling Autosport how impressed they are with Felipe Massa, it seems like a good time to check on my season’s wagers. My Formula 1 money’s on him to take the title, and standing third in the championship, one point behind Raikkonen and four behind Hamilton, that remains a real possibility. And as we’ll see, the only possibility of me getting any of my money back.

I took a punt on Nicky Hayden for the MotoGP title, because pre-season noises were vaguely positive, and there were attractively long odds. Long odds for good reason, it seems, because he’s currently a distant 9th. With Lorenzo dropping back, it’s starting to look like a two-horse race between Rossi and Pedrosa. Which Rossi has to win, because everyone hates Pedrosa.

I also had optimistic money on James Toseland to be MotoGP’s top rookie, but he’s currently behind Dovizioso and Lorenzo, in touch with the former but with little chance of catching the latter.

In the 125cc Championship, my man Bradley Smith is currently ninth, and although it’s much closer than in MotoGP, it’s going to take quite a chain of events for him to make up the ground to the front couple of riders, on 87 points to Smith’s 47.

So in summary: go Massa!
