 Lewis Hamilton suffered a major accident during the second practise session for the Bahrain Grand Prix but luckily escaped unhurt.
The shunt, together with the dominance of the two Ferrari's, has seen the bookmaker's lose confidence in Hamilton with his odds for victory going out to 7/2 with betdirect.
The McLaren-Mercedes driver locked his tyres after a series of swift turns and slid across a run-off area, slamming sideways into a tyre wall.
Hamilton finished the practise session fourth fastest, with the Ferrari's of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen dominating the Friday session, finishing in first and second spot respectively.
Hamilton's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen finished third in a session where Williams, BMW Sauber and Red Bull were all looking on good pace putting pressure on the two McLarens.
Lewis Hamilton is third favourite for Sunday's race behind Massa at 9/4 with Coral and firm favourite Raikkonen's odds have come in to 6/5 with bet365.
