Both landed. Thank you!
So this is an interesting one. As Vettel crossed the line first, some bookies may pay out on Vettel as the winner. It depends what their rules say. SportPesa have paid my winnings for Hamilton though. The rule is generally the result when the podium presentation is done.

Conservative leadership elections are a graveyard for early favourites - as far as I can tell the early favourite has never won (discounting 1989, when Thatcher received a token challenge and 1995, when Major quit and restood to smoke out dissenters)
1965 - Reginald Maudling (beaten by Ted Heath) 1975 - Ted Heath (Thatcher) 1990 - Michael Heseltine (John Major) 1997 - Ken Clarke (William Hague) 2001 - Michael Portillo (Iain Duncan Smith!) 2005 - David Davis (David Cameron) 2016 - Boris Johnson (Theresa May) 2019 - Boris Johnson (?)
Boris's price has gone for a little walk last couple of days - he was matched at under 1.8 on Betfair but is now nearly 3. The mover in that time is Michael Gove (inventor of the Boris Johnson knife rack three years ago).
I assume that, right now, polls are being done with the Tory membership - the last one from Yougov (which was done before May resigned) had Boris at 39%, but everyone else added together was 54%.

who wants to guess the Brexit Party vote share?
closest wins a banana
i will start,37%
I will go for 34.5% - if I win I want my prize to be one of the proper bendy British bananas and not one of those straight Brussels EU monstrosities.

Weird - wasn’t one of the hands that revealed the UB superuser scandal one where someone correctly called a river bet with ten high?
