Good morning, Sidepodders and welcome to this glorious day. I feel that enforced joviality is the only way to get myself through Tuesdays.

Given that there seems to be little news out there that doesn't come with some serious political baggage, I suspect it is best to stick largely to the F1 world. One story that had the world screaming in anticipated pain was that of our tiny Overlord Bernie saying that he would approach Channel 5 if the BBC follow through on their threat to drop F1 coverage. Hopefully this has about as much chance of happening as Bernie's 'medals' idea.

Williams have designed new front and rear wings for Pastor Maldonado to smash in the upcoming Germand Grand Prix. Outgoing Technical Director, Sam Michael, hopes that while Pastor is searching for some inviting barriers to crash into, Rubens Barrichello can pilot the new parts round the Nurburgring quickly enough to earn some tasty points.

Pirelli will continue their search for better compounds in Germany, providing each team with a new version of the soft tyre for Friday practice.

Daniel Ricciardo is hoping that he doesn't come away from the German GP with just a sympathetic 'well at least you finished' pat on the back as he did at Silverstone. The Aussie reckons that now he's learnt some more about this whole 'tyre management' thing, he can get closer to new team mate, Tonio Liuzzi.

Away from F1, there is much Harry Potter-fuelled wailing as people flock to see the last film and put the whole saga to bed. I haven't been to see it yet, but I may be the only person who hasn't as the film took a frankly ridiculous £23M at the UK Box Office on its opening weekend. Clearly no-one has yet spotted that Daniel Radcliffe can't actually act very well.

Inevitably there is more Harry Potter news doing the rounds as the case against JK Rowling, claiming that she lifted the plot of the Goblet of Fire from The Adventures of Willy the Wizard by Adrian Jacobs, has come to an end. The claim failed after the estate of the late Jacobs failed to make a payment of £1.5M as security for costs. I'm not sure I entirely know what that all means, other than that Rowling wins.

And with that news I shall bid you adieu, until next time.

    took webber half a season, he'll do well to achieve that in one race.

    cheers for the daily good sir.

  • Simon Furnivall18/07/2011 at 23:18

    Given that Ricciardo's fastest lap was within 4 tenths of Tonio, I think he did a pretty good job. I suppose his target is to try and close that gap as much as possible by the end of the season. I just wish that he'd admit that there are two 'i's in his name.

    Apologies. I made some time to go through the old posts and strip out all the defunct PicApp code.

    Don't be sorry... I'm just so tired at the moment I have to regularly check that I am perceiving reality in the same way as others.

  • Alex Andronov19/07/2011 at 11:15

    So I was thinking... What with Vettel running away with the season and people being worried about that... and trying to change the rules and everything... Why don't we suggest rule changes that might make things closer.

    I have an idea... Why not make it so that every race of the season the points count gets higher?

    We need to work out a way to make the gaps between points grow too though.

    So I was thinking that for every race you add 2 points for a win. Maybe you could also add 1 point to the odd points paying positions one race and 1 point to the even points paying positions the next or somehting but that might be too complicated.

    So as Silverstone was the 9th race a win would have been worth 25 + (8 x 2) = 41 points. And a win at the brazillian grand prix will be worth 25 + (18 x 2) = 61 points.

    That would close the championship up!

  • Leigh O'Gorman19/07/2011 at 11:18

    That would close the championship up!

    Unless Vettel keeps winning and pulls away even further..? To be honest, I'm not that bothered about the title hunt as long as the races are good.

  • Alex Andronov19/07/2011 at 11:24

    The weird thing is that it would currently push Vettel further ahead...

    From

    Vettel 204

    Webber 124

    Alonso 112

    Hamilton 109

    Button 109

    To

    Vettel 244

    Alonso 128

    Webber 124

    Button 121

    Hamilton 113

    But the main difference is that the difference between 1st and 2nd for the rest of the season is 70 points now versus Vettel's lead of 80 points whereas the new gap would be 270 points!

  • Alex Andronov19/07/2011 at 11:25

    Unless Vettel keeps winning and pulls away even further..? To be honest, I'm not that bothered about the title hunt as long as the races are good.

    Well yes I don't mind... I just thought it was a much easier way than changing the rules all of the time and guarantees to make the end of the season closer.

  • Christine19/07/2011 at 11:25

    That would close the championship up!

    Seriously though, part of has a horrible feeling that we're not too far from "success ballast" in F1

    I don't think so... I mean we've had a number of years of very close finishes. Only this year and perhaps the Brawn year weren't that close. They'll just change all the rules for next year as normal and shuffle the deck.

    Maybe they'll just add a rule which says that if your surname rhymes with Phooey you can only work in F1 if you work for Ferrari

    Just watched a wonderful Geology-based show from Richard Hammond on BBC1 there on the construction of the Earth, start of a new series. Thought it was quite fascinating. Not Brian Cox level of depth understandably but just so interesting.

    Watching these science based shows on the BBC makes me realise just how much I missed out on dire science lessons in school.

    But what I mean is the fact Cox is an actual scienceman and Hammond is... well, Hammond. There's a difference in their level of knowledge for this kind of thing when one of them works for a major corporation trying to change the world with their mad experiments...

    Outisde has all sorts of dangers like kerbs, horses and general palava

    And how to operate a credit card swiping machine that I've used a million times.

    I seem to be in between the UK and US systems of spoken language, written language, and how things work. I get mixed up when to use S's and Z's, whether to say Cheers or Thanks, How are you? or You all right?, and if my boots are Wellies or Rain boots.

    My sister teaches English to Spanish kids but does it in a Dorset accent.. we've got visions of these kids walking around saying "ere'yar" instead of 'here you are'.

    Other than "rain boots" I would say all of those things. I keep going on all these courses where they tell you 95% of communication is body language and tone of voice. I think if you made up a word and said it cheerfully, no-one would think anything of it tbh.

    :) True. When students come in who are learning English we all get on just fine. I just feel a big shift happening within me. Things that have been natural for my whole life aren't anymore. It's good, it's just disconcerting at times.

    And I've always been very attuned to language, words and accents, so it feels weird to not know what to say automatically in a given situation.

    I spend my whole day talking to people. I think I've learned to just go with whatever comes out.

    I think in this transition I'll just go with it, too. Good idea. :)
