Daily: 11th April 2011

Ken: And you join us now on the 11th, here at the Sepang Open in Malaysia, with Sebastian Vettel on 25 under par, streaks clear ahead of the rest of the field. Steps up now, 190 yards from the pin... and that is hit nicely, soundly down the hole and lands perfectly inches away from the hole. A fantastic drive from the young German.

Andrew: This is Lukeh now on the 18th, solid round so far, probably a B standard for sure, he's reviewing up his option and goes for it. Nice strike.

Wayne: 235 yards here for Gavin, million pound boy of golf, looking stylish here, but knows how to read the lie...

Ken: Back down to the 7th for Vitaly Petrov here, having a decent go so far.... ohh no, thats wide, very, very wide, flying wide almost, woah, did not expect to see that, hits the rough, gets a vicious bounce across the fairway and lands in some pretty deep grass.

Wayne: Hit 150 at least.

Ken: Sure did.

Wayne: Back to Gavin and thats a high shot, top of the charts and gets a good layup on this par 5.

Andrew: So lets look at the leaderboard, well, literally everyone seems to be winning.

Ken: News reaching us from the rival organisation, the IndyCar Tour, seems that Will Power has edged out Scott Dixon in a playoff hole. The two clear of the rest of the pack in a challenging course at the fairly new TPC Alabama, have you tried it out Wayne?

Wayne: No I can't say I have, very difficult to make an impact on the leaderboard certainly.

Ken: Hello, hello, what have we got here then...

didn't know this about EJ:
EJ was adamant that the deal was water-tight and solid, only for someone to point out that while he had indeed secured Schuey’s services almost until the end of time, he had neglected to specify what those services were. Race driving? Road sweeping? The ‘contract’ didn’t say. Case dismissed. - Mike Doodson

That is not my understanding. I understood that Willi Weber changed one word in the contract which meant it could be read in two different ways one of which meant Schumacher could walk. I am sure that is the version in EJ's book
Steven Roy10/04/2011 at 23:43

He went and had a huge fight with EJ that day. He told EJ that it was wrong to use team orders. He really had no concept of how ridiculous that was coming from him

I did wonder if trying to sell yourself as an F1 fan by starting off with "I thought working at the F1 would suck" or something along those lines was the wrong way to go about it. Seems to have worked for her though :D

in what sense?
The umpire makes a decision and assorted players and coaches run at him, all talking at the same time and after the discussion he usually doesn't change the decision. People in baseball seem to like arguing. Managers and coaches just stroll on the field when they feel like it to talk to their players or argue with the umpires. Sometimes the stroll is an aggressive sprint

more from gp+ (am loving this weeks edition):
After watching the Red Bull on television on Friday, BBC’s Martin Brundle was moved to comment privately: “I had a good look at the Red Bull front wing in action just now, and it’s not moving, there’s no movement at all in it. But just look at the amount of rake of that car. The whole thing is just a flying wing!”

from reading the mag, brawn agrees red bull are running a steeper rake, but he thinks the mclaren is fast enough to prove that it isn't necessary for everyone else to do the same.

I guess that Lotus are already associated with that team and they could be seen as a rival to Jaguar. But with the money they have they could have placed him at Williams or some other midfield team.

Good - a little tired from a fab weekend - driving was scary on Friday as we had to cross the Great Belt Bridge in gale force winds which was fun!
Then Saturday we went to my niece's birthday party, where she called us the best Aunty and Gavin in the world, then asked why we weren't eating at her house for dinner :)
Then after the race on Sunday we went to my mate's house for a beer and a chat in his sunny garden. So all good!

I do not really have the time to spare these days but this thought came to me after watching the Forum during my lunch today, when they bugged Newey with all the KERS questions.

Hispania might have been able to be the new Minardi if Adrian Campos had still been in charge. When Colin Kolles came in, it was like the Minardi sale to Red Bull minus the money.

Kolles isn't the owner surely - it's Carabante. Kolles just keeps the team from collapsing, surely?
Alianora La Canta11/04/2011 at 08:59

Also, Minardi never looked quite as farcical as Hispania - to the best of my knowledge, they never had to build up a car for the second driver on qualifying day, didn't talk rubbish about driver changes and generally seemed to be in it for enjoyment and not as a stressed-out chore between DTM and LMS assignments...

Alianora La Canta11/04/2011 at 09:00

The only reason why there is a team is because Kolles came in and Adrian Campos is no longer in charge ...
This is true, and one could argue the same applied with Minardi and Toro Rosso. Doesn't keep the charm in though - and the charm issue is the main thing separating Hispania from Minardi in terms of regard.
Nick11/04/2011 at 09:00

Hispania might have been able to be the new Minardi if Adrian Campos had still been in charge. When Colin Kolles came in, it was like the Minardi sale to Red Bull minus the money.

Minardi had history, Hispania has none - that is separating them at the moment. not much else though ...

We don't see Carabante, he just (supposedly) provides the cash. Kolles is master and commander of the project. A very practical and organised guy, but he'll never be a charismatic one (yes, I do realise the first two traits are much more important than the latter, but to be regarded well by fans, some charisma in the place is helpful).

their car looks to hopeless though. last year they were unhappy but they were at least regular top 8 to 10 with Rosberg often in top 5 while Schumacher was learning how to drive a car that has colour other than red. this year they were to make a step forward resulting in barely getting into top 10 ... sounds so Honda familiar ...

I think a few people jumped to the conclusion that Hamilton was penalised because of weaving leading directly to the crash.
However in my race notes, I jotted down that on "Lap 45 - Hamilton defended very hard"

Christine11/04/2011 at 11:24

This bit?
The other point to consider is that Whiting did not consider the collision to have been sufficiently serious to warrant an investigation during the race, so he must therefore have looked at it again later and decided to report the incident to the Stewards. What was that he saw that led him to take action? Did he, perhaps, suspect that Alonso ran into Hamilton deliberately, hoping to cut the McLaren driver’s rear tyre and that the move backfired and he damaged his front wing?
It's just a question, isn't it?
F1Wolf11/04/2011 at 11:25

It's just a question, isn't it?
yes, I think it is just a question, similar to EJ's talk about Hamilton brake testing Alonso without really suggesting that Hamilton actually did that

Seems like it could have been a bit of tit-for-tat moaning to me.
The Penalty on Alonso was harsh for me because he got penalised twice - he had to pit for a new wing anyway so he already lost time.
The Penalty on Hamilton seems harsh and I reckon is based on last year's weaving antics - smacks of inconsistent stewarding and heavy handedness, just like the bad old days.

when I looked just before I left my hotel she was on about 180, in a day shes gone up to almost 400. Where was all this support the other 2 weeks of competition!

I know I've complained about him in the past, but this really makes me despair.
"Didn’t watch the F1 race, but from what I heard it didn’t sound all that great..."
He didn't see the race, then follows it with a brief review and thoughts...

oh wow I didn't realise Laura had gone up so much either.
They obviously didn't set an end date like I did.They obviously haven't drawn the winner yet either unless they chose someone other than us top three because both of them are still commenting.

Good point. That is a heck of a lot of likes in a short space of time! It's a bit weird because we don't really know her or the other lady that well and they haven't been taking part in the comments before or since their request for support. I hope that people don't get too silly about this though!

Don't say anything more. Just wait in silence. There's nothing more you can do now and you don't want to get into a slanging match. Even if a direct accusation is made it may be best to just ignore it.

I didn't realise she'd made the accusation on the album page as well - i kind of want to respond. I didn't want to comment on her photo but on the album page is a whole nother story.
The fact that her and her friends mention making a list of all the fake profile says to me they have way too much time on their hands. Since most people have their security settings to the point where you cant see much anyway, how can they be sure?
I bet the organisers are wishing they'd never bothered

Big improvement over the same event last year, drivers still need to get used to 2-wide restarts. Struggled to keep up with strategies as I wasn't using live timing.
I enjoyed it but still would rather watch an F1 race....Any idea how much slower those IRL cars are over a road course in comparison to F1 cars? There didn't seem that much difference visually.
I enjoy both equally. The track is narrower and the top speeds are similar but they can be as much as 10-15 seconds slower (estimated). I think the direct comparison between F1 and Champ Car at Montreal was ~12sec.
Elissa11/04/2011 at 13:13

Sweet. You may like the races at Toronto and Brazil then. Also, Indianapolis is quite special.

The ovals speeds are much higher, an F1 car couldn't lap Indy at max power without detonating, not so likely now with the rev limits of course

the trip back to the hotel :(
What they need to do is build some hotels in the giant green area around the track.
I learned last night that the other half of the teams were in the Pan Pacific at the airport which is a lot closer than our hotel was, but you still get stuck in the giant traffic jam getting there because the only people who don't turn right when they leave the circuit are the ones going to the Low Cost terminal. The other 100,000 people all go the same way.

Friday was fine, Saturday was awful, Sunday was apparently 10 times worse so I'm glad I wasn't in it :D
Even though they have trains from the airport, just getting to the airport is hard because they all leave from the main terminal, not the low cost one. If they had an internal road from the low cost to the main it'd be perfect but to go between them you have to use the jam packed public road.

I think it was Madrid where I had to go on public roads to get to the easyjet terminal, but that was OK because there wasn't hundreds of thousands of race fans thrown into the mix :D It probably works for them the other 360 days of the year. Apparently plans are in place for a train between the two though.
Amy11/04/2011 at 15:50

i think he said they canned the old bus services or something. will ask about it on the next show.
there were lots of shuttle buses but they got stuck in the same jam. Lots of hotels had shuttles for their guests too but ours didn't.
It was really hard to tell which were official buses and official taxis because nothing was signposted and even the official drivers would kind of stand in the middle of the road and go 'pssst you want a taxi?' as you walked past just like the dodgy ones did. They give you so many warnings about the rogue taxis but it was impossible to tell them apart.
It made me crave Singapore and being able to walk to the track so much.

Hi friends - just doing a quick in-and-out right now.

We started following the races last year. If there are enough people around there will be a thread and if there are only a couple it will be discussed in the daily. I suspect there will be threads for most if not all races this season

Listened to a really interesting Bright Club podcast today with Dom Furniss a Human Computer Interaction expert at UCL. I'd never really thought about how engineers vs marketing people works in design but he makes some great points about making things useable. I wonder how flexible phones would fit into this.

Steven Roy11/04/2011 at 19:09

It's 100% not. I am a very emotional sports watcher. I must have been supporting Lewis last year too because I got up and went to bed after he crashed out of Singapore last year.
You have always gone on about supporting fluffy.
Steven Roy11/04/2011 at 19:09

Also I wasn't cheating :P I saw it happen. Bash crash wallop. I refuse to believe there's no damage on his car. He's the puncture king.
THere was some minor damage to the floor/diffuser

Sweet Lord. Air Asia are sponsoring the wrong Lotus there.

I don't like all these stops. It seems ludicrous.
Steven Roy11/04/2011 at 19:12

So erm why did no-one want Nick Heidfeld??
Not fashionable. I have been having little rants for many years on the subject of people who hire F1 drivers wouldn't recognise a good driver if he drove over them.
Nick is not alone. How long have I been going on about di Resta. Everyone knew he was good now because he has beaten Sutil the media etc know about him. There are lots of great drivers who never got a break

You have to ask how using 3 times as many tyres as last year and having half a ton of rubber on the track helps with F1's aim to shine a green light on itself

I was actually just thinking basically this. That being green is about being durable, reliable, efficient. Forcing pit stops is mad if that's your philosophy.

You need rubber trees to make rubber, and since you dont need to cut them down to get the rubber:
^Rubber Demand = ^Number of Rubber Trees*
Assuming the tires are made from actual rubber and not synthetic

There will be little if any rubber in the tyres.

Even if the outer was made of real rubber, all the gubbins inside is very wasteful to just chuck away all the time.

Rubber is less durable than a synthetic. Synthetic isn't always wrong.... If it's durable, that's what counts. A durable tyre will always be more environmentally sound.

I only use synthetic Oil in my car, 'cause it's better. But I honestly don't know how much actual Oil is in there or how it's made or what's "synthetic" about it.
Perhaps I should load up wikipedia.

If you can still feel the difference in your back now then you should have it checked out. They could suggest physio or exercises or something. The trouble is a lot of older people who have back problems have had them since they were younger but it didn't really bother them then so they ignored it.
I would guess you posture in the car was to blame. You need to sit right if you are going to fly in a car

To give Nick a break, he is a very good offroad driver. We'd followed another car into a hollow you couldn't really get out of so we had to go over the dune the wrong way to get out. Really scary. At the time I was just happy we hadn't flipped over.

F1 tyres are mostly synthetic, though Bridgestone does have a natural rubber plantation. Michelin didn't and I don't think Pirelli does.

Can I tell you I've officially been "pensioned off" the Duke of Edinburgh course instead?

Pensioned off. That seems harsh

Loving the faux Italian accent going on at Ferrari there :D
The guy who said that (Andrea Stella) is Italian, so I would have thought that was a genuine Italian accent...

I know the engineer is Italian but Fernando is putting it on too I swear :P

The award rules state one has to be below a certain age to work towards it, I've exceeded that age limit and therefore today was my last session (I was allowed to stay for 2 sessions after my birthday to tidy up paperwork and collect certificates). So after helping out a first aid course for the younger students, there was a little ceremony to mark my leaving. Got 2 small certificates because I only managed half the award in the end. There were a couple of small speeches and then everyone ate loads of biscuits.
Mum ordered fish, chips, a spring roll and sweet-and-sour chicken for tea because she's been working hard sorting out horses and foals over the last couple of days (2 foals, with different parents, which have been born in the last 3 days, and another one was due over a month ago). So it was a lovely end to a somewhat weird day.

Evidently he's been around the engineers too much and the accent's rubbed off on him...

He speaks Italian so maybe it is easier for the eng. to understand him if he uses that accent

Sounds like you have achieved a lot.

Did you read that research that said foreigners find it easier to understand English if you speak in a "foreign" accent? That did really amuse me.

Yes. I have experienced that in some countries to where I have resorted to doing that. I also worked with an English guy who had lived in Malaysia and he said because their native language is very staccato they struggled with English so. he. had. to. in. sert. pauses. in.to all. his sen.ten.ces and they then understood hime perfectly

:blush: Technically I was supposed to have achieved quite a bit more, but the expeditions were a disaster (one never happened, the other one resulted in me having to drop out partway through Day 2) and at no point during the 10 months I was there did anyone show the slightest interest in letting me volunteer for them.
Steven Roy12/04/2011 at 00:22

So long as you gained something from doing it then it does not matter that you were unable to complete it. I remember you discussing the problems with expeditions before

It's difficult to put in volunteering hours when nobody will let you volunteer in the first place! It's proved easier for me to get a paid job than an unpaid one...

Interviews for jobs that are filled 2 hours before the interview is due?

I just think it's a shame. Do you not have a volunteering centre in a local town?

Yes. It was completely useless. As was the one in the city reasonably nearby.

Sorry to hear that. I've never actually taken a vacancy that they found for me in the end. I used to volunteer a lot when I was at school goodness knows how I got into that thinking about it. I've always found friendly staff at local CABs as well.

I've had voluntary posts before, but that was when I was a library student and even then it was considerably more difficult for me than the careers people had led me to believe it was.
I don't even know when my local CAB is open - it allegedly does open sometimes but I've never seen it in that state (and even if it had I'd never previously considered the possibility they might offer volunteering help).
Alison12/04/2011 at 00:34

You can volunteer there! They're very lovely and it's interesting. I have my advisory certificate but there's lots of help always needed for lots of things.

The first time I went in there I tripped over a rusty snapped off bollard and cut my foot. I think the centre manager was so happy I didn't ring the council that she'd have let me do anything after that :D

You're good at other stuff too - it's not many people can get that kind of reaction off a manager after tripping over something...

Was just overhearing a conversation at work: "Who was this Jim Clark guy anyway, and why did he have so many poles?"
Sheesh!
