In a week where there is no news, we discuss all the events of the race weekend in France, including the many penalties, how drivers stack up against their team mates, and what did we really learn from the safety car test?

Intro

We got a shout out on 5live thanks to Scott.

Good Week / Bad Week

Good week for France, bad week for… No, wait, there is no news.

Qualifying

The safety car test during Free Practice didn’t reveal as much as we hoped, and the drivers are also wary. We had an insider at the track, and Ferrari appeared to have it all under control.

What’s In A Name?

After Sidepodcast courted controversy with the naming conventions of certain drivers, we now have a solution that will see the problem eradicated forever.

Thanks to a wonderful email from Dan, I can now present you with: Name That Driver.

All you have to do is select the driver you can’t pronounce, and listen to the man himself telling you how his name should sound. There’s also usually a little tidbit, like what his friend’s call him or the worst pronunciation ever used.

Who knew that Coulthard was pronounced as a “th”?

This is my new favourite site and we will definitely be using it from now on. And sorry ‘me’, Vettel does say it’s pronounced “Fettle”.
