So, is it Vettel's turn to win, or can Lewis Hamilton keep his car together this time?
WEBBER $5.50 CHANCE AT MONACO
Aussie Mark Webber is a $5.50 chance to win his second successive Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco this weekend with Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel the $3.00 Favourite.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Webber was now considered a leading chance in any race he contests and Monaco should suit him perfectly.
“Red Bull now look to have this seasons car sorted and are once again the fastest on the racetrack,” said Sullivan.
“It’s been a long road for Webber but he’s now well and truly established himself in Formula One’s top echelon of drivers.
“The Red Bull cars have shown great qualifying speed and the Monaco track is notoriously hard to pass on which means grid positions will be critical.”
Webber currently sits in fourth place on the standings seventeen points adrift of leader Jensen Button and is a $5.50 chance with Sportingbet for the Championship.

Next West Ham manager odds
GRANT ODDS ON WITH CHANDLER FOR HAMMERS JOB
Victor Chandler make Portsmouth manager, Avram Grant the early favourite to take over as boss at West Ham Utd after Gianfranco Zola was sacked earlier today.
Grant is just 2/5 to take the Upton Park hot seat after impressing with his stint at Fratton Park – leading Pompey to this weekend’s FA Cup final despite the club’s financial turmoil.
“We’ve already seen money for Avram Grant and have now cut him to just 2/5 for the job. Most punters seem to think that the Cup final will be his final game at Pompey.
He probably doesn’t fancy a stint in the Championship,” said VC spokesman, Dave Jenkins.
Slaven Bilic is second favourite at 6/1, although the former Hammer would have to free himself from his contract with the Croatian national team. Two former West Ham managers, Alan Pardew (9/1) and Alan Curbishley (12/1) are also in the betting along with Zola’s assistant Steve Clarke (10/1) and former Man City manager, Mark Hughes (10/1).
One man Chandler’s don’t think will be going back to Upton Park, despite his availability is Paul Ince. An unpopular figure in East London ever since leaving for Man Utd some 21 years ago, Ince can be backed at 100/1 to take over at the Boleyn Ground.
