Hoping For Rain on Our Parade
Here is the first ever Parade Lap show, the brainchild of “me” and / or Steven Roy. We’re going live for an hour before the ITV build up coverage starts (in the UK), hoping to be a nice relaxing way to ease into race day.
We intend to chat for a bit, play some songs, and try and be slightly entertaining as we go about it. This is the first show, so your expectations should be realistic, just as Raikkonen’s will have to be for the race.
We’re live streaming, although it may just be the top of my head for now. We don’t anticipate this being a show you want to watch, just have playing in the background.
Although we have dreamt up some ideas relating to how it’s all going to work, things are ultimately very flexible and we want to hear from you. Your ideas, thoughts, predictions, anything you feel like chatting about. Call us via Skype, our username is sidepodcast, or the phone number you need is: 0121 28 87225.
We’ll also be keeping a close eye on the comments, so we want to hear what you’ve got to say via the “Live Commenting Live… Thing” as well. We’ll be on at (hopefully) 11am, so stay tuned.
September 7th, 2008 at 10:56 amAlianora La Canta said:
Why is there a massive gap between the top bit and the comments? It means I cannot see both simultaneously. I’m sure it wasn’t there last week.
September 7th, 2008 at 10:56 amChristine said:
Being fixed as we speak.
September 7th, 2008 at 10:57 amAlianora La Canta said:
Thanks.
September 7th, 2008 at 10:57 amChristine said:
If you refresh, is it better?
September 7th, 2008 at 10:58 amAlianora La Canta said:
A little bit. The gap is still over half a screen, though…
September 7th, 2008 at 10:59 amChristine said:
Can you shrink the bit with your name/url etc?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:00 amAlianora La Canta said:
I’ve already done that, Christine.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:01 amAlex Andronov said:
It’s working for me…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:01 amAlex Andronov said:
I’m pushing the envelope over here in Google Chrome just to keep Me on his toes…

Nice candles…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:03 amScott Woodwiss said:
yep, morning race fans!
I’ve been checking the weather forecasts for Spa, and it looks like it’ll be light rain.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:03 amlou said:

i have sound and video, bit quiet for me though
September 7th, 2008 at 11:04 amAlex Andronov said:
It’s quite early in the morning for candles!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:04 amScott in Italy said:
Girl from Ipanema? could be worse i suppose. i was listening to people talk about the worst 80s music this weekend
September 7th, 2008 at 11:04 amme said:
just checkin, you guys got sound?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:04 amlou said:

i have sound, but it’s a little quiet
September 7th, 2008 at 11:05 amScott in Italy said:
yeah the sound got a lot louder
September 7th, 2008 at 11:05 amScott Woodwiss said:
much better
September 7th, 2008 at 11:05 amScott Woodwiss said:
you heard the song
September 7th, 2008 at 11:05 amFlibster said:
There is sound….
Wish there wasn’t…..
September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 amScott Woodwiss said:
right, playstation emulator time.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 amAlianora La Canta said:
I’m currently trying to do the predictions spreadsheet for another site at the same time as listening to this. Trust me, it’s a lot easier to do when you’ve actually seen qualifying…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 amAlianora La Canta said:
Echo…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 amAlex Andronov said:
Aha! I have changed to Internet Explorer! All working now!

nothing wrong with living out DJ fantasies. I’m taking control of a french station in a month
nice head
September 7th, 2008 at 11:07 amAlianora La Canta said:
Sorry, I can’t hear what either Christine or “me” is saying past the echo.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amAlex Andronov said:
This really is the radio… And now the weather girl!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amlou said:
Christine it must be hard for you to chat to a computer screen… i’m guessing ‘me’ is behind you….
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amR.G (The Nurburgring/Sato/BMW Fan) said:
Hello everyone. Suffering from a bit of a cold, but aside from that, I’m good.
I had this really scary dream last night, Massa and Hamilton both crashed out at the last corner and wait for it, Rosberg won?!
Thank god it was a dream, but still, I usually dream about Kubica and Heidfeld winning…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amAlex Andronov said:
No echo for me.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amScott in Italy said:
no echo for me, a little distorted.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:08 amScott Woodwiss said:
yeah but it’s spa. since when has there been a dull race at spa.
weather forecasts i’ve looked at have said light rain, showers, sunny intervals, all sorts.
Typical unpredictable Belgian weather.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:09 amFlibster said:
Today Hi 16°C / 61°F
Showers Lo 13°C / 56°F
September 7th, 2008 at 11:09 amJeremy said:
Yay!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:09 amAlex Andronov said:
This really is a radio show! Awesome!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:09 amR.G (The Nurburgring/Sato/BMW Fan) said:
Last year?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:09 amScott Woodwiss said:
alright, apart from that
September 7th, 2008 at 11:10 amAlex Andronov said:
There is something very funny about the way that Me says “Spa”. It always makes me laugh!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:10 amJeremy said:
Can you say hello to my girlfriend Zoe as well?
She is watching Dr Who right now and couldn’t care less about F1…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:10 amScott in Italy said:
request for next time - the tv picture over on the side, so we can see more comments side by side.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:10 amScott Woodwiss said:
i think from the forecast i saw from this morning, it was raining this morning
September 7th, 2008 at 11:11 amScott Woodwiss said:
i’m gonna do some laps on the original F1 playstation game at spa to get in the mood
September 7th, 2008 at 11:11 amSteven Roy said:
The bottom of the page at the link below gives the hour by hour forecast for Spa

Good morning all btw
September 7th, 2008 at 11:11 amFlibster said:
Open a new window in IE or firefox or Opera or Chrome or whatever…
Use this address: http://www.justin.tv/widgets/jtv_live.r9389.swf?channel=sidepodcast
Will load it up full page then have the comments open in another window.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:12 amme said:
can do.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:13 amAlex Andronov said:
I asked Katherine if she wanted a shout out and she said… “I’d rather just wait until you’re on Skype and I come in and ask you what you want from the shops”… Tsk!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:13 amScott Woodwiss said:
wow i really like this song
September 7th, 2008 at 11:13 amFlibster said:
There is something wrong with that desk.
It’s too clean and tidy. I barely have space for my keyboards.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amAlex Andronov said:
Do you think just off to the left there is a giant pile of stuff!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amScott in Italy said:
thanks Flibster and me. I know there are ways around it, but I still can’t make the comments thing bigger if I get a new window open…or can I?
my suggestion. comments down the left hand side and the tv and the “Post” and “about” boxes on the right.
nice song - where did you find it?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amChristine said:
To the right actually
September 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amAlex Andronov said:
hahaha
September 7th, 2008 at 11:14 amScott Woodwiss said:
this is a really nice ambient song. i could drive to this
September 7th, 2008 at 11:15 amSteven Roy said:
I just had a weather forecast comment disappear
September 7th, 2008 at 11:15 amJeremy said:
Zoe says Hi and is super excited because she had no idea I was doing it!
Thank you thank you thank you!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:16 amScott Woodwiss said:
i think a bit of v12 ferrari is needed at spa
September 7th, 2008 at 11:16 amAlex Andronov said:
How many overtakes were there last year?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:16 amlou said:
it’s spa, it can’t be as Valencia. It’s colourful for a start.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amJeremy said:
Lewis to win by .3 of a second from Kimi
September 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amlou said:
I mean
*as bad
September 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amScott in Italy said:
righto…
Hamilton P1
Raikonen P2
Massa P3
September 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amSteven Roy said:
The hour by hour forecast I posted that disappeared is predicting 50-60% chance of rain
September 7th, 2008 at 11:17 amAlex Andronov said:
What I’d really like to see is Kimi to win. Mainly because that would make for a great race!
So…
1) Kimi
2) Lewis
3) Kubica
September 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amScott Woodwiss said:
My prediction is:
1) Lewis
2) Kimi
3) Kovi
September 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amSteven Roy said:
Hamilton to win
Massa to stay close until it gets too wet for him
Kimi to beat Massa
September 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amFlibster said:
If rain…
Chaos, mayhem and amusement.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amBluray said:
Has anyone seen the GP2 race? Lotta people goin off (including the leaders and Senna)!! If that happens this evening, it’s gonna be interesting.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amAlex said:
My predictions……
Hamilton
Kovalainen
Massa
Heidfeld
Raikonen
Go Hamilton!!!!!!!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:19 amlou said:
ok so
1. Massa (unless it rains)
2. Hamilton
3. Kovalainan
September 7th, 2008 at 11:19 amAlex Andronov said:
Ah there are two Alex’s now!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:19 amJeremy said:
Zoe says Mansell - it is her middle name - she has no idea!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:19 amAlex Andronov said:
It’s unlikely but it would be cool!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amChris said:
Hi. I’m a new guy!
My predictions:
1. Hamilton
2. Kovalinen
3. Massa
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amScott in Italy said:
nice work Zoe
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amScott in Italy said:
Damon Hill for second?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amFlibster said:
Wonder what the odds are for a Mansell win?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amAlex Andronov said:
Welcome to all the new people!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amScott Woodwiss said:
isn’t that typical - i go to do some laps on spa, and it’s raining
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amAlex Andronov said:
So
1) Mansell
2) Hill
3) Moss
September 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amlou said:
Hamilton to pit 1 lap before Massa.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:21 amFlibster said:
Vettel is believed to be doing a very heavy 1 stop of a long initial
stint 2 stopper
September 7th, 2008 at 11:21 amSteven Roy said:
There are 44 laps so a short first stint would be 12 laps
I reckon Hamilton is no lighter than Massa and probably a lap or 2 heavier
September 7th, 2008 at 11:21 amScott in Italy said:
jackie stewart to place 4th
September 7th, 2008 at 11:21 amAlex Andronov said:
It’s about as likely as my guess of Kimi!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:22 amScott in Italy said:
from the fia website, here are the stopping windows
1 stop Laps 23-29
2 stops 15-20, 27-33
3 stops 9-12, 18-22, 29-34
September 7th, 2008 at 11:22 amSteven Roy said:
Wat are the odds on Massa’s engine surviving
September 7th, 2008 at 11:22 amJeremy said:
I wonder if RBR gave Webber and DC the choice - who wants to run heavy, and who light?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:23 amScott Woodwiss said:
hopefully not very good
September 7th, 2008 at 11:23 amSteven Roy said:
Williams’s weakness is aero so they were never going to be quick at Spa
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amScott Woodwiss said:
nice, a song to run my laps at spa to
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amAlex Andronov said:
Make sure you play it at the right speed if it’s a record
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amAlex Andronov said:
Ah it is… Doing better than ITV already
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amAlenyaa said:
Morning Sidey!
Like this song you’re playing, but I just missed the title. Could you repeat that?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amFlibster said:
Some of this music is better than some of the stuff you’ve played on Last.FM.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:24 amAlex said:
im kinda hoping massa’s engine goes….. dont think it will though i think ferrari have learnt their lesson as such
September 7th, 2008 at 11:25 amme said:
know you better
so… anyone brave enough for a skype call in a bit?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:25 amAlex Andronov said:
I think it might be safe… but now I’ve said that…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:26 amScott in Italy said:
kimi made a quote this week saying they “think” they fixed the engine issues. I only read a transcript of the quote but he didn’t say they actually did fix it.
I’m not calling in today. i missed qualy and can’t remember the last spa race
besides, i have to save my voice for french radio!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:26 amAlex Andronov said:
I’m game… But as I’ve already had a go previously… Perhaps somebody else should have a turn.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:27 amAlex Andronov said:
Hahaha about the good taste line!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:27 amFlibster said:
My headset has gone walkabout…
I think the other half has pinched it.

September 7th, 2008 at 11:30 amScott in Italy said:
strudel was eaten at a slightly different time to the chocolate cake, and this is not my normal breakfast. just having leftovers from yesterday’s mountain trip.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:31 amAlex Andronov said:

We never have the same thing.

Oh poop.
My laptop has lost the media centre settings.
Time to reconfigure the digital tv receiver
September 7th, 2008 at 11:35 amLadySnowcat said:
Hmmm…
Today’s race we need to see if the tyres and temperature are in Maccas favour or not…
On the basis of the differences Q2 and Q3 Lewis and Massa are lighter than Heikki and probably Kimi as well…
Kimi will never think he’s out of it before he is…
Motivation didn’t flag last year…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:36 amJeremy said:
Kimi has a contract for next year so what will they do to him if he wont let Massa past?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:38 amAlenyaa said:
I agree with Lady Snowcat on Kimi’s motivation last year.
But this year he seems even less interested than normal.
Sometimes it seems like the only time Kimi’s truely happy is when he’s in his car…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:38 amR.G (The Nurburgring/Sato/BMW Fan) said:
This was my prediction before qualifying:
1) Raikkonen
Alonso
2) Massa
3) Hamitlon
4) Kubica
5) Kova
6) Trulli
7) Heidfeld
Now:
1) Massa
Bourdais
2) Hamitlon
3) Heidfeld
4) Raikkonen
5) Kubica
6) Kovalainen
7) Vettel

Kimi would do a Michael…
Get in front but make it clear he’s letting Massa go first…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:40 amOllie said:
I agree, Heidfeld is due for a return. And he out-quailfied Kubica.

September 7th, 2008 at 11:43 amLadySnowcat said:
Kimi was almost always best in the car up to and including Silverstone…
But as the Ferraris were second to the Maccas there (even before the rain) Ferrari went in direction to improve the car that suited Massa and not Kimi and he’s been fighting that difficulty ever since…
He’s actually trying too hard rather than not enough…

at Honda look like finishing the season

They are being enviromentally friendly. They do less laps than everyone else, therefore less fuel used.

I read earlier today that BAR finished 2nd in the championship in 2004

I think Brawn’s influence will come more to the fore in 2009.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:44 amAlex said:
at least honda are ahead of i think 3 other cars in qualifying….. but yes they are bad
September 7th, 2008 at 11:45 amAlex Andronov said:
At some point Honda are going to realise that they haven’t remembered to switch back from the tractor engine to the race engine…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:45 amScott Woodwiss said:
that was when button ACTUALLY had a good car under him.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:45 amOllie said:
Yes Jeremy, they did. Then they won a race in 2005.

They had Button and SATO!!! Wooo
See, he is a good driver.

The Honda thing will only be clear next year…
Jense should sound demotivated as the stuff about Ross desperately seeking Fernando must make him sick…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:46 amSteven Roy said:
Brawn needs to get involved in the design. He is perfectly capable of designing an F1 car. He designed bits at Ferrari when the design department was busy. He also designed a Jaguar sportscar that was light years ahead of anything else. It used a lot of F1 technology
September 7th, 2008 at 11:46 amFlibster said:
In a car designed by Geoff Willis - who they then fired.
Downhill since then again…

Drivers might be willing to stay because you know big manufacturers usually get their act back together.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:47 amAlex Andronov said:
Toyota and Honda seem to be opposite. Whenever one of them does well the other one does badly
September 7th, 2008 at 11:47 amDank said:
I used to think of Button as a good driver, now I think of him as someone quite happy to be paid high wages to sit in a rubbish car. Maybe he learned a bit too much from the Villeneuve?!!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:47 amLadySnowcat said:
BAR admitted in 2005 that they didn’t really understand why they finished second… in 2004 that is..
September 7th, 2008 at 11:47 amSteven Roy said:
I am amazed Brawn hasn’t signed up a few heavyweights
September 7th, 2008 at 11:48 amFlibster said:
I’m not surprised no other team wants him. He’s not the most contract honouring of drivers…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:48 amAlex Andronov said:
Ditto!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:48 amOllie said:
Even Brawn can’t smooth-talk people that well.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:48 amlou said:
I think after last year he had options… i remember reading something in f1 racing where he said that it was nice to hear that other people up the pitlane still thought highly of him.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:49 amJeremy said:
Maybe they should have bought the 2006 chassis back at the Super Aguri auction
September 7th, 2008 at 11:49 amlou said:
Read the f1 racing article from monaco. He wants to build up the team, and help it become a top team… thats why he was so active in getting Brawn to Honda.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:49 amSteven Roy said:
How can Honda be running 4 wind tunnels and not be producing new aero bits now
September 7th, 2008 at 11:49 amLadySnowcat said:
I think Jense should consider Toro Rosso….
September 7th, 2008 at 11:50 amJeremy said:
I think Honda will be up there next year because they always make top engines and aero wont matter as much
September 7th, 2008 at 11:50 amScott in Italy said:
get Coulthard for Honda
September 7th, 2008 at 11:50 amLadySnowcat said:
If I were Ross…
Steal some decent design engineers….
September 7th, 2008 at 11:50 amAlex Andronov said:
Did Honda do anything for this year at all since Ross arrived? I think he’s forced the progress to next year.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:51 amJeremy said:
would be rather ironic if Jenson fought so hard to get Brawn and then was fired by him!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:51 amAlenyaa said:
Maybe Honda should pull a Macca and “hire” someone from STR?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:51 amLadySnowcat said:
Sorry but the GP2 bunch this year are an uninspiring shower….
None there are obvious for F1…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amJeremy said:
I hear nigel stepneys available…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amScott in Italy said:
or just some decent designs
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amlou said:
Getting a GP2 driver won’t help them at all. they need some experienced drivers like Alonso that know what they are talking about.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amAlex Andronov said:
No wonder Ross didn’t want to be against the FIA yesterday. They are quite against former Ferrari personel stealing technical information!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amFlibster said:
They had to take their wind tunnels off line last year as they had been calibrated wrong - and they believed the wind tunnel results instead of the CFD….
September 7th, 2008 at 11:52 amLadySnowcat said:
Toro Rosso are doing well because of the Ferrari engine…
Let’s face it Adrian did the wrong thing using the underpowered Renault…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:53 amSteven Roy said:
It is going to rain. I posted a link earlier that disappeared which is predicting 50-60% chance of rain
September 7th, 2008 at 11:53 amAlex Andronov said:
Scott sounds less confused than I did. Sorry about that!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:53 amAlenyaa said:
Great minds?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:53 amDank said:
Despite not leading the GP2 championship I still reckon Buemi is the best driver at the moment. He’s constant, level headed and doesn’t make the occasional errors like Senna, Chandhok et al. I predict we’ll see him in F1 next season.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:54 amScott Woodwiss said:
LOL!
September 7th, 2008 at 11:54 amSteven Roy said:
That was my first thought when I hear that they had four tunnels running including one in Japan. How do you correlate results from 4 tunnels, CFD and reality? By the time you do that it would be 2012
September 7th, 2008 at 11:55 amlou said:
I’m off to set up in the lounge. Am gonna come back when this song is over. I’ve said this too much recently - it can be depressing to be a honda fan
September 7th, 2008 at 11:55 amJeremy said:
Just have to say this whole concept is brilliant!
Is this song going out to Jenson?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:55 amAlex Andronov said:
I did something really stupid at the begining of my call. I knew I didn’t want to create feedback so I turned the volume down on my stereo… So I couldn’t hear you. Then I realised I was stupid. Paused your feed. Turned the volume back. In all the stretching for the volume control I managed to have a shoulder related sporting injury! Now I really feel like one of the Sidepodcast team
September 7th, 2008 at 11:56 amScott in Italy said:
i think the song should be going out to Lou
September 7th, 2008 at 11:56 amAlex said:
What about De Grassi from GP2? He missed the first 6 races and is still 4th and only 2 pionts behind Grosjean….
September 7th, 2008 at 11:56 amLadySnowcat said:
Ross may just be wishing he had gone to Toyota… or not…
September 7th, 2008 at 11:56 amDank said:
Are Sidepodcast going to release a compilation of pop hits to tap into the Christmas market?
September 7th, 2008 at 11:56 amFlibster said:
In theory, the same object in the same scale corresponding to the size of the tunnel shoudl produce indentical results…
In CFD it certainly will.

I cant make out what the book/magazine is next to your monitor Christine. I like the candles.

Maybe theres should be a Sidepodcast magazine, which would be factual correct!

Great show guys. I am so pleased I came up with the idea for this show

Really great idea for a show

I agree with everyone here. You’ve just created a great sunday morning refuge!
Today may well have been a one off for me though, I’m usually at my dad’s to watch a race and he doesn’t have internet, but I certainly enjoyed it today!
