As the British Grand Prix is Sidepodcast’s home race, we’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you the best F1 preview video to date.

First up, we’ve got exclusive footage from the recent test at Silverstone, where 9 of the 11 teams turned up to spend 3 days blasting around the English countryside. We also take a behind-the-scenes look at how mainstream television works with Formula 1 teams to bring fans closer to the action, when ex-drivers-turned-commentators Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell take to the Northamptonshire track in a pair of Williams F1 cars.

Additionally we have our usual fast lap around the circuit, this time Christine takes you around classic corners such as Copse and Becketts, names steeped in Grand Prix history - they don’t build ‘em like the used too. Finally we look back at last weeks French GP and check how the two championships are stacking up as we reach the halfway point of the 2007 season.

It’s an action packed show!

On the 2nd leg of the North American double-header, F1 heads South to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Christine takes a look at the winding, sprawling track that represents the US Grand Prix. Featuring the only banked track in modern Formula 1, marvel at how the designers managed to make a meal of the layout by creating a “Mickey Mouse” infield section, used only to extend the length of the racing lap.

Show notes for Video 6 - Canada Preview.

It’s time to leave the fair shores of Europe and head West, as the Formula 1 show crosses the Atlantic to Canada and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Allow Christine to take you around the sights of Montreal and a lap of the track, as Sidepodcast does F1 - Canada style.

We’ll also take a look at the unique braking demands this track poses for drivers, as well as catching up with the ING Formula 1 Race Index to compare how the asphalt across the Atlantic stacks up to streets of Monaco.
