F1 Debrief – I Think There Was Something Subtle in There

Sidepodcast logo

This week we talk about what we learned in the Shell V-Power lab at Silverstone, we run through some half-term reports for our Fantasy Racers teams, and catch up with loads of feedback.

Intro

We’ve gone a bit Ferrari mad, but you’ll only know if you’re watching the live feed.

Good Week / Bad Week

A good week for Mark Webber at Wimbledon and Backstreet Boys fans in Singapore, but a bad week for Hockenheim and Brawn GP (thanks to Kathi for helping with pronunciation.)

Sidepodtour

Shell have given us some fascinating facts and figures which we share with you, we run through a weekend in the trackside lab and play some of our tortured audio clips. Plus, the Sidepodscience challenge begins.

F1 Debrief – Do I Really Sound Like Fisichella?

Sidepodcast logo

We’ve got shoutouts, news and views, good weeks and bad, a circuit link up, race discussion, Sidepodtour updates, Fantasy Racers stats, voicemails galore and just a little bit of housekeeping. It’s all go, go, go!

Intro

Two shoutouts for Sidepostcast. We think that might be us.

Good Week / Bad Week

It’s been a good week for iPhone users and for bizarre surveys, but a bad week for Campos Racing and Donington Park.

News and Views

FOTA only went and did it, didn’t they? Announcing a breakaway competition in the dead of night. Although things are still at a stalemate, at least we are one step forward. This is progress, and it creates lots of questions. We answer the most important one though.

F1 Debrief – You Messed It Up, You Deal With It

Sidepodcast logo

This week we discuss the FOTA and GPDA get-together, run through all the action from Turkey, catch up with the Fantasy Racers competition, and get a heap of excellent feedback.

Intro

We’re leaving things to the last minute, because if it’s good enough for Jenson…

Good Week / Bad Week

It’s been a good week for Donington Park and other European races, but a bad week for the Brabham family as they have an imposter. Also a bad week for Red Bull and their motorhome.

News and Views

More about the 2010 season, more smaller teams signing up, plus Force India getting themselves suspended from FOTA for the time being. The drivers pick sides, and we continue to wait.

F1 Debrief – Painting the Sistine Chapel with an Etch-A-Sketch

Sidepodcast logo

This week, we briefly discuss the politics – a necessary evil – before diving right into the great feedback, including a couple of voicemails, some feed clarification and wiki updates.

Intro

We have to come up with our own intro as there are no shout outs this week!

Good Week / Bad Week

It’s been a good and bad week for circuits, with Suzuka winning the Japanese Grand Prix battle, but Hungaroring joining Fuji in the financial troubles category. It’s a good week for Button, as he is highly sought after, and a bad week for motorists, who need to keep an eye out for cyclists.

News and Views

Williams submitted their entry, along with many others, and then found themselves suspended from FOTA. The association submitted their entry with a whole host of conditions attached.

F1 Debrief – I Might Like Tall Blokes with Goggly Eyes

Sidepodcast logo

This week we discuss all things Monaco, including the budget cap meetings held on various yachts throughout the weekend. We also update Fantasy Racers, share some great feedback, and discuss the next character cup.

Intro

Yet another shout out but we might have to change our name.

Good Week / Bad Week

Good week for France as they might have another option for the race, whilst Button thinks he might be boring. A bad week for potential excuses for leaving F1 and for England event hosting.

News and Views

Ferrari lost their court case, and the teams gathered for several discussions throughout the weekend. Max seems to think all is heading in the right direction.

F1 Debrief – Lola, She Was a Showgirl With Yellow Feathers in Her Hair

Sidepodcast logo

In this week’s unexpected F1 Debrief, we discuss all things budget cap, with a sideline in Tremayning, twittering, and generally whining about life. We also discuss competitions and get your feedback.

Intro

Confusion reigns, as I promised live show viewers a mini series last week, and there was no podcast scheduled for this week. Yet here we are!

Good Week / Bad Week

It’s been a good week for Jenson Button as he’s signed up to a triathlon for charity, and for Hungarian fans who caught sight of Red Bull around their streets. Bad for tractors in Paris, and people with ears.

News and Views

We break the ‘don’t mention Lewis’ pact we made, discuss McLaren’s PR, engage in some Twitter promotion, and worry that the BBC are going under with their headlines. There’s budget cap discussion, plus some Tremayning, and we also mention a couple of competitions.

F1 Debrief – It’s Like a Piquet Magnet

Sidepodcast logo

We gamble through the FOTA meeting and what may come of it, the action from the Spanish Grand Prix, and take calls from all three sides of the Brawn GP argument. Yes, there are three. All that and more in this week’s F1 Debrief.

Intro

I’m all about the radio now, whilst he just does the numbers.

Good Week / Bad Week

It’s been a good week for circuits, as Barcelona make improvements and Donington get the extension they were looking for. It’s a bad week for sponsorship as Brawn get chased by the Terminator, and also a bad week for KERS as it’s being dropped all over.

News and Views

A quick run through what the teams and FOTA are saying about the budget caps Max proposed last week. It’s enough to say that they aren’t keen.

F1 Debrief – The FIA People are Coming

Sidepodcast logo

We catch up with two weeks of news and races, which means discussing Bahrain, McLaren’s hearing, the 2010 regulations, plus Fantasy Racers, and of course, Felipe Baby.

Intro

Mr C was ill but is gradually feeling better, and now it’s my turn to get the sniffles.

Good Week / Bad Week

A good week for Jenson’s PA as we discover where she’s been the past few weeks, plus Heidfeld starts to match Schumi’s statistics. A bad week for an embarrassed mechanic and for Canadian road users.

News and Views

We discuss Donington Park’s problems, and the list is becoming extensive. We also take a look at the FIA’s McLaren decision and what it shows about the team, and means for the future of the sport. On the subject of the future, we also rattle through the 2010 regulations, and find little to get excited about.

F1 Debrief – They Came From Far and Wide

Sidepodcast logo

This week we discuss the Chinese Grand Prix, and update the Fantasy Racers competition, plus talk about our trip to London and the Science Museum to meet the lovely Sidepodcommunity.

Intro

Someone picked up a cold at the Science Museum, and it wasn’t me!

Good Week / Bad Week

A good week for legal rear diffusers, and for Hamilton and Vettel being nominated for awards. A bad week for Ferrari who have to sort out their personnel, and for the Race of Champions who need to sort out their decision making.

News and Views

Why has Ron decided to go? We ponder the three possible reasons for his decision. We also discuss what is up with Flavio Briatore and his sudden hate for all things Brawn.

F1 Debrief – I’m Setting New Heights… Of Lows

Sidepodcast logo

This week we discuss the highs and lows of a race that gave us a little bit of everything, plus we update the Fantasy Racers league and talk about the BBC coverage… again.

Intro

We are loving the audio soundbytes this week with a great one from Mr Rob Smedley, and Buemi gets a look in too.

Good Week / Bad Week

A good week for Kovalainen because he thinks he can drive well, however Malaysia may prove him wrong. Also for BMW as they managed to get a protest not only submitted correctly but also rejected. A bad week for Alonso who isn’t feeling well and for Vettel as he faced the stewards again… for no reason?

News and Views

It’s all about Lewis and McLaren this week, as they face the stewards again to face charges of dishonesty.
