Yet more new panellers today, with Dom and Doctor Vee taking part for the first time.

There are plenty of topics up for grabs this week, including a throw in question from Scott Woodwiss, and there’s even an impromptu engine impersonation competition. It would be a shame to miss out on our panelists fine efforts.

This is the first ever Sidepodpanel show, and as such is hilarious in it’s unrehearsed and spontaneous nature. However, it really was a lot of fun to record, so hopefully, you’ll enjoy listening.

We cover all manner of topics, including the standard engine idea, what FOTA would ever be able to do about it, whether Force India are up to scratch, who Alonso should have as his second driver, and of course, whether Bourdais should be given another year in F1.

It was suggested in the comments during last weekends live streaming that it was about time we started a new podcast. The plan mooted was to host some form of panel show that pitted callers against each other in a battle of wills over topical F1 subjects of the day.

At first we may have been a touch reticent about the idea, however Christine bought a new domain name (which is always a good sign), and the technical bits weren’t too difficult to resolve, so against our better judgement the plan is to have a go this evening.

As ever, with so little planning, it’s anyone’s guess as what may happen, but thus far this is what we’re thinking it’ll take the following form:

• A guest host who will select subjects and chair the panel
• Two teams of callers, battling against each other
• Points will be awarded for winning an argument
• Extra points will be awarded for humour
• Christine to keep score

Bonuses will be awarded for sucking up to the scorer, and then doubled if anyone genuinely manages to compliment Franck Montagny in a subtle way. If no-one has any objections, I’ll probably chair today’s panel.

As yet we’ve no idea how many people we can manage to host on a Skype call but we’re hoping it’ll be either two or three people to a team. Anyone not involved with calling-in can still take part in the comments by associating themselves with a team, digging out facts to help bolster arguments while berating the opposition.
