It is race day in Monaco, then, and we have lost Joe again for the second time in two days. Damn, we are careless with this man. Must try harder. Nevertheless, here are some of the things we've been talking about:
- Pat pointed out this great post on Speed TV. I haven't got round to reading it yet, but it looks like it tracks the history of Monaco nicely. Let's read it together.
- Prince Albert of Monaco has spoken out in a timely manner, suggesting that the sport can't afford to lose Ferrari. Of all the people in the paddock, do we think that Bernie, Max and the top bods will listen to the Prince?
- Kathi pointed it out first, but it was confirmed later that Hamilton will be starting from the back of the grid. Because of his poor position, the team have decided to go ahead and change his gearbox. LewHam is starting light and hoping to barrel through the field - I wonder how possible this will be?
That'll do it for now. Really looking forward to seeing you all in the live comments during the Parade Lap and the race, and if not, we'll catch up later in the day. I will see you in those comments.
Tis a brand new day, my friends. Come and join me over here.
And if we don't want to?
Darn, too late.
*drags self over* ;)
I've had to close desktop doohickey and open it again...this new day better be worth it ;)
Good morning, interesting tag on this thread, although i suspect i shouldn't mention it
DD needs a refresh button
[Yes, I know the answer... ]
NO WAY!!! Midweek Motorsport mensioned SPC with Joe!!! :D
what??
Cool. As. Eff.
some guy was saying that he was listening to Joe on Sidepodcast, not a clue who he is, it's alooooong way into the show.
Midweek Motorsport is RadioLeMans show btw
is this live, or on the podcast?
hehe *jumps into new thread*i'm sooooo excited for the race tomorrow... i mean today :D
the podcast is on the live stream....previously recorded...but radiolemans goes 24 hours a day.
so....podcast lol
Don't tell Mr C but I forgot to buy nachos.
groovy. i'll download. thank you for the heads up.
had a twitter convo with them last week, so maybe it's related.
Wow that's cool.
:cry:
ooh, how long into the show, btw?
ooooh dear... maybe he can make something in the parade lap?
it's after about an hour atleast...it they're still talking about wtcc and the quiz, then you've still got more to go, 1.5 hours i believe
Bloody BT Home Hub. I just spent ten mins offline. Maybe it didn't like the 7 hours of Nurburgring coverage i watched while listening to RLM.
very....
for an entertaining challenge you guys could try making them from scratch
What about M&S alternatives Giggles suggested, do you have one nearby.
Blast, Sunday trading won't get you those before the Parade Lap :(
7-Eleven type place?
Keep your heads down tomorrow
http://friendfeed.com/astronautics/16b8119d/asteroid-2009-kw2-will-make-close-approach-to
Hehe. I don't think that will appease him, though. :)
How close is the approach?
i read that as "how long is"
1.5 hours i believe, but may be wrong
Tell him it's his Planet of the Apes punishment :D
1.3 times the distance to the moon. We have had a couple recently that were 0.2 times that distance so this one is not that close
i'd make him a cake, but erm... it wouldn't get to you before the race... or probably before tuesday since it's a bank holiday. maybe he can tremayne about the lack of nachos instead? :D
If "It will miss us by about 1.3 lunar distances", is there a chance it could hit the moon?
All be it, a very slim one
I've decided that DD needs a beep like tweetdeck and am mentally adding it to the list myself ;)
can certainly do that.
If they activate the large Hadron collider could that suck it to earth?
At times like this....maybe....
Imagine how insane it would be in a race
It doesn't tell us that unfortunately. Of course there is so much flying about up there that no-one is tracking that it could easily cannon off something else and get diverted
ooh yay!
would that not get really annoying if it was a busy time for comments?
optional beep?
it would be like...tweetdeck during races....just worse
Like the News 24 theme tune via Bill Bailey
i was going to say, twhirl is awful during races, i often put my laptop on mute.
I find that I have tuned out the tweetdeck beep already. Most of the time I just don't notice it
hahahaha :D
Would have to be switchable, best for the quieter moments and also so it doesn't wake RG :)
Mr C - 1hr13minutes30seconds on RadioLeMans Midweek Motorsport Series 4.
They say you're a lovely person :)
thats my favourite bill bailey thing of all time
I'm trying out Beak at the mo, a simplified approach
[maybe Mac only, not sure]
Wha. You woke me, you said something?
He's playing 2 nights at Hammersmith Riverside Studios in June as a pre-tour thing. Got tickets earlier, £20
Yay!
clearly they have no idea what they're talking about :)
we listen now, thank you.
:D
they didn't make R.G's mistake and forget Christine did they? :D
checkbox on/off. and off by default.
numbers people can lovely too ;)
I like how its my mistake.
Doohickey Deck V1.0
We got bored of blaming Steven
haha:D
I turned my tweetdeck beeps off.
Deckhickey?
Hooray. Looks like I'm the scapegoat.
Tonight I'm trying two twitter clients & posting comments on two blogs as well as here.
It's been handy to have the odd beep untill I sort Growl out again
[It was crashing Mail]
And I realise I need to get out more
Does anyone know what a waved white flag means during a race?
Isn't that a My Name Is Earl episode?
We surrender, FOTA win!
Slow moving vehicle on track i believe
the marshals are dido fans?
:D
Thanks RG
As RG says
WHITE FLAG
Warns of a slow-moving vehicle on the track, such as a tow truck or safety car.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/flags_guide/default.stm
Don't tell that to Keith :D
The Trulli Train flag?
Don't we all!
Depends where the race is held.
oops :)
Thanks, didnt know about the black and white triangles either
Under FIA rules it is a slow car on track.
In the US it signals the final lap if waved at the flagstand, otherwise it is the same as above.
That's the Schumacher Flag
wa-hey!
Roflcopter
There goes that word again :)
Chill Mr C, nothing to see here
Is it banned :S
Does it mean I'm doing too many things when I have to expand my OS X Spaces from 4 to 6?
Not really, but certainly not loved ;)
Riiiiight,.
Bed time for me. sleepy
Night
means you mac is too powerful.
perhaps a more subtle soi soi soi in future then
night sir.
i don't even know what roflcopter means... i mean i know what rofl means, but why the copter at the end?
*runs away before she looks too silly for not knowing the meaning of this strange word*
Is it on 'the list' ?
;)
night sir
Depends where. White flag means slow moving vehicle on the track but in USA it also signals the last lap which is so stupid Max could have thought of it
night jon
Is no such thing, wash your keyboard out with soap
No wait, don't - use canned air instead ;)
i think it's just an internet meme, or something. sometimes its just not best to ask :P
Night Jon
http://api.ning.com/files/8Cs-l709TyfqjK4hTTgxbZL8MuH9KVgUUj6C5cFcNkY_/roflcopter.jpg
Now that one's lost on me
Thanks Pat
as far as I know, when you type in roflcopter to internet sam, he pronounces it soi soi soi.... may be wrong though.
O.O
Internet Sam?
I'm learning Yoof Speak tonight ;)
it should be animated though?
Its the sound it makes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_vNhLYW_e4
*microsoft sam, there goes that wrong word again
Looks like a mouse
Or Bourdais :)
Good point..
O.o animated?.... either i am immensely tired or this is really really strange...
I probably shouldn't be asking this but
microsoft sam?
I found one but I'm scared.
sorta like this.
hahahaaha :D
Oh that's brilliant!
its a thing in the control panel that reads out what you type :P like reading back stuff youve put in microsoft word
although microsoft sam is tremendously horrificying funny to listen to
oh my....
Have just seen it
This was quite funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE9X2ynRILc
btw, Macs actually talk to you :D
hence why it's banned (or should be).
yeah it really should be banned... lol
I feel so sad for knowing about most of this. :(
2mins on the naughty step or a Ribena Barichello pic by sundown tomorrow
Your choice
hahaa :D
I can't do that to my beloved ribeno...
Oh my god... WHY did I have to typo that
:D :D
Twas a funny typo :)
Just found my Beer Lao T-Shirt, my fave!
Sorta like this but different colour
http://www.lilmoxie.com/catalog/images/beer lao
Am tres happy now
Hey, everyone. 560 comments in 7 hours... Astonishing. I won't even try to play catchup. :P
It's tough trying to follow this place, I've given up too
Hey journeyer, as long as you know about the fia waving white flags and unnamed laughter powered aircraft you will be up to speed
a what?
Haha! That said, I'm very happy at how this community has grown - by a lot. :D
FIA waving white flags? Does this have to do with FOTA?
It was only a few minutes ago, this man's like some kind of goldfish :D
I giured thats what ill be calling it from now on :P
oops.
hahaha :D
figured, mistype is catchy
No, actual White Flag on the track. Someone was asking
And the laughter powered, rotored craft shall be left un-named
Haha!
as long as you don't mishype mistype then you'll be fine
Ohhhh... :)
Interesting... Might actually go back for that. ;)
Don't believe the mishype... don't, don't
Will need to click links and then laugh to yourself :D
I see loeb's parking strategy isn't working for him in the rally, he got a puncture
Yup, and he'll finally lose his 1st rally of the season...
ha!
i mean, oh dear.
ha!
i mean.. . ahh never mind.
He'll still be leading by a country mile, though. :P
dont you like loeb?... actually to be honest all i know about him is that he is a rally driver and won the roc... that's it.
yeah but if he parks for a couple of minutes the rest will be able to catch up
In the championship, I mean. :P And he never encounters the same problem twice...
I meant in the championship! :P
Oh. Right, then. ;)
Right, Family Guy on the telly as I drift off to sleep
Catch y'all tomorrow
night mate
see ya Bassano
night bassano.
night
bye!
actually i'm really tired and i've ran out of things to do to keep myself awake and occupied. See you all for the Parade lap in the morning, is Giggles helping out again btw?
night! x
bye lou
hopefully, yup.
night lou.
night2
bye those leaving
YouTube has a ton of videos of Monaco..
coool! :) bye!
night, lou! Is it shift change time? :D
I shall join the leavers club and hope to god I wake up in time for the parade lap because the last time we had a bank holiday weekend day I slept 11 hours... nevertheless, night all.
bye to everyone who is leaving then
gotta be. night lukeh.
night3!
parade lap at 11? At least its not as sadisticly early as max's free practice times
JA thinks Vettel will dominate Istanbul and Silverstone. I agree with Istanbul, but I think the home track factor will play a big part in Silverstone, and crowd favorire Jenson might just be able to snatch it from under Vettel's nose.
Yep. :D
Its the fast corners, but im not convinced he's as good at overtaking as webbah, so id put him down for at least 1 of those
I dont know if this is geolocked, or has been posted before, but realy good cgi of the circuit http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8061687.stm
So you think Vettel and Webber will split the two? Also, Massa may play a big part in Istanbul. If he can't win there, I'm sure he'll be at the front and annoying the title contenders... :D
have you seen the old inside track videos, nick?
some circuit cgi's in those.
If he wins there again he needs a weight penalty!
I can see any of the top 4 taking those 2 races, but red bull have to be favourites, unless the new rear packaging is a hinderence not a help
no ill have a look thanks!
I'm annoyed now!
wassup?
I opened a blog post in Windows Live Writer. I changed the name and saved it again, expecting it to make a new post. It didn't make a new post, it overwrote the old post..
It's not geolocked, for once. :D
Haha! But Ferrari seem be legitimately back on the pace now. They won't contend for the titles, but wins are definitely possible.
Oooh... I guess you liked that, then?
Yeah, I thought it had worked before but obviously I did something different that time...
Tis odd, never happend to me before
:D
Going through the Monaco vids now... They seem to NOT be geolocked! :D
I think last time I must have opened the old one and copied it into a new, empty post before editing.
that is odd :(
I feel too tired to work it out. So am heading to sleep. Night
see ya rg.
Morning :-)
hey paul. what's new?
Catching up on quali, I missed it to see Star trek
ah cool. was it worth missing?
Is Vettel really that light? (631kg)
Watch it in full if you can. ;)
It was a good movie, if you are a fan. Much better than Wolverine
Yep. The story coming out of today was as much about Button grabbing the pole as it was about Vettel NOT grabbing it.
Um, would it be on BBC site?
Heck, it was a great movie even if you weren't a fan! :D
It's on iPlayer. But you're from Australia, right? So it would be geolocked... Try checking JTV if anyone's running replays...
Wow, that wass really great!
Night RG
Ah yep, thought so. I will try.
...with a vpn ;)
just watched it myself. seems to have stood the test of time.
glad you enjoyed.
It was, but I didn't want to sound like a "trekky" ;-)
I'm seriously thinking about that now. I might try looking for a proxy first tho
Hahaha! I thought about getting that too, but I figured it wasn't worth it. I'd only use it for race weekends and TG anyway - and I have JTV for that!
yay! ;) You know, you should have a link to the relevant Inside Track for each weekend somewhere on the page. That way, new visitors can watch it and enjoy it if they haven't seen it yet. :)
true enough. am not encouraging anyhow. just saying.
:P
might be worth doing. i assumed they were old hat this year. the 3d car doesn't have a new rear wing etc. but actually, it's not the end of the world.
Of course if Journeyer was on Twitter you could have a DM convo and no-one would know... just sayin'..
yup, i think it's worth doing. you have way more than the onboard lap anyway - the extra features are good to watch too. :)
and the istanbul edition is extra-special - someone else did the VO for it. that was the competition one. :D
Weird. I can watch Jake's "monaco past" special, but not the quali highlightr, or the old 1960s races (BBC site this is)
Hahaha! But even if I did have a Twitter, the topic was brought up here anyway, so I'd still reply here. :P
you know your sidepodhistory!
Monaco Past there is just behind-the-scenes. I ran into the same thing.
On this theme, Mr C, do you think Joe would have anything to say about the world wide TV issues we face?
I think you can watch all material that isn't FOM produced, or filmed at a track on a race weekend.
obviously some stuff will slip through
can always ask. i think it's a product of old media though. movies are still region locked and so are sports rights.
the internet is changing everything, it's just bernie is the last to understand it.
Of course I do! :P And that's without my requested podcast. ;)
Hehehe.
requested?
and as long as commercial rights are still allocated on a national/regional rather than a global basis, it will stay that way.
on sidepodhistory? not sure if you remember, though. ;)
Yeah I see that. Just wondering if they would produce a paid-for feed. I guess they can't do that live, when places like here delay the coverage for local reality shows and the like
ahh yes. with christine's mother-in-law? it'll happen, it's on the list.
I dont think thats completly fair, any top level sporting event is hard to get access to in large parts of the world.
the problem is the contracts, you cant expect to sell rights for millions if people can get it for free from the source, the stupidity is though that places get left out.
While FOM would make a handsome profit out of it, it will reduce the value of their contracts with the different TV networks, which is why I doubt this will happen.
yay! :D
if it were profitable for bernie he would do it. what he appears to be doing is charging extra for the right for broadcasters to stream online. like the bbc do.
it's just a case of convincing your local broadcaster to pay the extra required.
Yep. Problem with following what is a "fringe" sport here.
LOL. If you only knew.
true enough. but globalisation should in theory eventually wipe out regionalised rights assignment. one price for all territories. a while away though.
i suffered last year, luckily i forced my dad to get a HDTV so i could watch it live after the first few rounds
Oh, I've got all the HD stuff. Sadly our capital is not considered a capital, and we don't get all the good TV stuff
Oh dear, im about to start talking about globalisation. please dont shoot me.
Id love it to be true but the problem with this is threefold, firstly Price parity is not equal the world over, secondly The value of a service (as f1 is) is not static geographicly, and thirdly regulation of media output is all to often considered an integral facet of state sovereignty.
in theory, true. but an F1 TV contract is worth more in Spain than it is in Romania, for example. unless we see a uniform level of demand worldwide, i don't think the supply price will become uniform as well.
and yeah, what he said. :P
a fringe sport that hosts its own GP. tsk tsk.
but i like the bbc commentary. :(
I must remember and repeat i hate real politics, i love f1 politics, I hate real pol.......
agreed. all true.
however, these things are converging. it used to be that an album was released in the states one week ahead of the uk release. now it's down to one day, or more often a worldwide syndicated release.
other industries will catch up, but the trend is moving towards a more simple model. bernie will be the last to catch on though.
So, what time does the parade lap start before the race?
you can get that by travelling to every gp and buying kangaroo tv.
uk time is 11:10am i believe.
Hey, that's the answer!
okey dokey. Predictions beofre or during the show?
during is good. are you calling in?
If I can work out a way to get some audio in, yes
perfect ;)
Is it just a skype call to sidepodcast?
exactly that. you can try any time and it'll go to voicemail. if you hear christine's message you're through.
Yep!
*starts hunting for the long-lost headset*
Just watching the pre quali bbc show, its interesting how they are trying to develop banter similar to top gear between the 3 presenters and MB, which i guess is only natural considering the people they have, but i can sense a top gear influence in there.
I think my talking about politics scared everyone away...
aww. am still here. but planning on sleeping soon.
me too. hehehe. :D i'll be around for another hour or so. :)
Im working out how to drive a 911 round Le Mans and lasting more than a lap!
on which game?
GRID
I get bored on the straights and forget how fast im going before i think about breaking, getting better though
that's how i drive a kart :)
haha, I havent driven one in ages, The game has given me a new appreciation of Istanbul and a profound dislike of Nurburgring grand prix circuit though
Awesome, 2x blog posts now up to preview Monaco and Indy. Bit late but what the hey :-)
give us some links sir. we is quite lazy ;)
Are you on the old version without the chicanes? It can easily be done..
And if you aren't, you've got to be careful to wake up before you hit them :-)
Cool, can i see, Some ijot in an aston decided to kill me with less than a miniute to go.
Ill get you one day anthony davidson, mark my words...
Genereic blog link cos so is i http://toomuchracing.blogspot.com/
:)
just editing the indy one because i got the number of races wrong
pat, should the irl preview point to the f1 live timing page?
err, no.. i thought i changed it..
loving the Indy videos, got me doubly excited for tomorrow!
fixed
cheers. loving the indy vids :)
Will there be live commenting of the 500?
I doubt it, there's due to be a live show at the same time.
certainly can if there's enough interest?
My work here is done :-)
what time does the race finish (uk time)?
Double excitement... going to have to get the tv involved as a second monitor
Well I'll certainly be tweeting like crazy if I can get a feed.
Well the Sky coverage ends at 9.30, so I'd guess about 9?
jeez, that's a long race.
we'll see how it goes. if there's a video feel and people are into it, we might be able to go live later (cause it's a bank holiday this week).
Coverage is at 6pm UK, race starts at 7pm, and yeah it's a long 'un.
I don't want to push you into moving your schedule around though..
it's one of those weekends where can be flexible. but at the same time, if no-one's watching, we may as well go live.
will have a word with the girl tomorrow morning. for now, i must sleep. night all.
Night Mr C
Night Mr C. :D
Cool. It's a great event. Like Monaco it can be more of an even than a race. Milwaukee next weekend is defo worth watching.
Me too, night.
Err, just the sleeping bit for myself...
Night MrC, Pat, great blog
Hey all.
Was there no Aside with Joe this week?
There should be one this weekend. I'm not sure if they'll record it this morning.
Okay will be on the look out for it. So are you going from watching F1, to watching Indy?
good monrning all. pleased to see rubens had his cake. all is now right in my world.
And a delight to see Heikki up in the top 10.
always :) hes good round monaco!
I guess my hopes of a strong finish for Toyota lay in a about 18 blown engines
they've started from the back before this year and got podiums. But no, I don't see that happening today.
It would be a tall order, but I would be over joyed to see Kimi at the top step
me too. It's been a long time!
I became a Kimi fan by wanting to see him interviewed more. I really think 2005 was his year, he should have been champ then. But I do understand that you need to finish the race to win it
2005 was the worst year ever for me as a Finn/McLaren fan! I spent many a race screaming at the TV as he retired. Again.
I agree 2005 was the worst, but for a different reason. My first F1 race was USGP 2005. But that year Kimi was the best, too bad the car wasn't. Got a call....gotta go. Possible drowning. See you
I'm back, I was wondering what time you see the races in Australia?
Ah, the best weekend of motorsports all year. Monaco followed by Indy. Plus, if you are really bored, then there are a bunch of guys tuning left in Charolette.
-"Kathi pointed it out first, but it was confirmed later that Hamilton will be starting from the back of the grid. Because of his poor position, the team have decided to go ahead and change his gearbox. LewHam is starting light and hoping to barrel through the field - I wonder how possible this will be?"-
Stupidest tactical decision, ever.
Great, make your car light at a track were you can't pass. What on earth is McLaren thinking?
Grasping at straws like Ferrari did earlier in the year. Just hoping Kimi can win.
I am so glad I picked him up in Fantasy racers. Too bad I also picked up Kubica and Glock.
I had high hopes for the Toyota's in Monaco. I agree with you, this is an orgiastic feast of motorsports. By the time the NASCAR race comes on I should be sufficiantly inebriated.
Christine if you are awake, JustinTV is playing an old race of Franck in F1. 2006 Hungary.
Where on JustinTV, I couldn't find it
http://www.justin.tv/mc_kik_2
A bit of a language barrier.
Anyone who doubts Alonso ablilty needs to see the pass he did on Schumacher at Hungary 2006.
If anyone is bored this morning, they can ready my latest blog post on why USGPE should join the other teams in rejecting the budget cap. LINK: http://www.racingeagles.com
That is a bit crazy!
Morning everyone :)
Morning Alex.
Most races are 10pm Melbourne time.
What's it like weather like where you all are?
It's looking like the start of a scorcher here in London... It's already warm and it's only seven am
Currently 20 degrees in Melbourne. Quite a pleasant day considering how cold it has been recently.
I have just looked at the weather it's going to get to 24 here today. So perhaps not a scorcher after all. But should be nice :)
Beautiful. Sunny and warm here in the northwest corner of America; about 70ish degree. I got in 36 holes of golf in earlier today*
*It is 11:00 PM here, the race starts at 5:00 so I am just going to stay up.
Right. Time to start the banana cake. I hate that the first step, the creaming of the butter and sugar, is the step that can ruin the whole cake.
Mmmm... banana cake... mmmmm...
That seems more than the normal amount... Did you have to have a pitstop half way?
It is annoying that bit I agree...
Yeah. I need to get back in playing shape. I have to play in a couple of company events this summer. I want to get good enough not to be rubbish but not good enough to beat members of the organization I work for.
There is, I guess, a bit of a problem if you start beating your bosses. Well if they take it seriously I guess.
I haven't played much golf after one time many moons ago when I hit 23 on a single hole.
I work with a bunch of lobbyists and business guys who take it way too seriously. I do it more for work sake more than enjoying it.
I much prefer mini golf
Don't worry, I accidentally hit someone else' ball one time. The guy who' ball I hit had to be restrained and called my boss demanding that I be fired.
Me too.
oh no we dont have a sieve. worried about the cake now.
Do you have like an old and clean white tee shirt that you could use instead perhaps?
no but i shall soldier on. it wouldnt be one of my cakes if it wasnt a failure
right even if the cake fails, the batter was tasty. now its in the oven.
*fingers crossed.*
ahh, the dishwasher. Mans greatest invention.
I wish we could take credit for that but it was actually a 19th century lady who invented the modern dishwasher. LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephine_Cochrane
Smart lady. we didn't get one until 1996. She was way ahead ;)
Good morrow to thee, SPC neighbours! :)
Just seen this article from Christine on STYA:
http://smarterthanyouraverage.com/2009/05/23/the-great-gardening-adventure/
I love the last lines:
"My mother promises me that this little green hairy thing will turn into a strawberry if I look after it properly.
We shall see." :D
I tell you something - when these two staffys start growling, they sound like a pair of Subaru Imprezas :D
If anyone is interested, James Allen says "I will be doing a live text chat at 9-30am UK time Sunday"
Mentions it below the fuel weights in this blog post http://allenonf1.wordpress.com/2009/05/23/how-the-monaco-gp-will-unfold/
I'm sorry but Glock going 51 laps? Don't be ridiculous.
And Bourdais too apparently.
I'm there. Just waiting...

that was in answer to the golf convo of course
Me too :)

I'm not getting any sleep for the next two weeks :D :D :D :D
JA is in the chat right now :D
I am watching because I'm curious how this will go
Just asked my first question to the man :D
anyone would think you are RG wth a question like that ;)
:D
haha Scorr
LOL James just spelt my name wrong. Apparently I'm called Scorr.
What is the link?
you have to download his weird toolbar thingy http://jamesallenonf1.com/toolbar.htm
Ah that doesn't seem to want to work for me.
The firefox version isn't working for me, had to use the IE version
same
Oooh! JA just said Piquet has until Silverstone to prove himself!
Good on ya Amy, taking the plunge ;)
haha had to ask him something but was struggling to come up with a question that wasn't "So, how awesome is Heikki?"
Ooh, Mercedes want Glock?
We need to make a list of these for the Parade Lap/Debrief ;)
Glock the new Heikki?
Sounds good... Shame I can't see :(
And I'm trying it in IE and everything...
ahaha someone is telling him his race twitter updates are useless
Hi All. will be around on/off today - how many minutes until the parade lap?
how many votes is Mrs C up to? oh the server crashed. not my fault honest :) so has someone notified the organisers of how many votes she should be on - or is this so a yesterday kind of thing?
Nadal lost? what are your thoughts Amy?
I think that would be a better teammate for Lewis than Heikki... or worse depending if you want Lewis to have a competitive teammate or not.
OK, here's the main bits of insight I have from JA:
Weather is perfect
Lewis is pretty sorry for himself
Jenson's race to lose apparently
KERS is a hobby horse of Max, Bernie would love to get rid of it
Graining has been a problem all weekend
No truth in the Villeneuve rumours
10kg of fuel is worth quarter of a second at Monaco
Brawn have KERS available but it's quite a job to get it on, no plans yet but still looking at itHard to judge RBR's diffuser without testingGrosjean still most likely candidate to replace PiquetPiquet has until SilverstoneWebber to stay with RBR, Vettel in demand, Mercedes want Glock.Senna could drive with iSport if they enter F1Rosberg's star status is fadingJenson in demand too
BMW very slow, Kubica not happy
Nothing new on a US GP
Top 5 prediction - Button, Kimi, Massa, Rubens, Alonso
I believe the thought I posted at the time was "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY"
I'm sorting all the Q and A's in a document, will drop.io soon
Grrrr.
Awesome, nice one Amy :) Me thinks we should let Christine and Mr C know about these. Could make for some great topics to discuss in the Parade Lap :P
Shouldn't it be EEK?
;)
I will be joining them in the parade lap again... So it will be really useful Amy :)
Parade lap is at 11, right?
11:10 I guess...
Hello to one and all.
Parade Lap will probably be anywhere between 11 and 11:10.
Morning...
thanks, and g'd'morning :)
Morning Christine is Mr. C up?
Not yet.
Aha, good morning! :)
Not surprising is it? ;)
Thankfully the studio is still setup from our near misses with Joe, so the idea is for it to take a few minutes to put a camera up and hit go.
But this is Sidepodcast, of course, so who knows.
How you guys are going, I am suprised that you just don't have everything set up all the time.
Mr Cup :)
I like it!
Haha!
Morning, everyone. :)
That would be the ideal. Unfortunately, F1 Minute requires a different setup, and also I have to live here too, and it's not the biggest place in the history of the world.
That's what I thought. So, what time do we start? :)
Ah-ha. Mr C has woken.
He's aliiiiiive!
JA Chat Q&A on drop.io now
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/james-allen-chat-doc
Thanks Amy :)
parade lap is in about 40 minutes, give or take an extra 10
ooh i'd better go and cook my dinner. I'm not going to the pub tonight either so I don't need to miss anything :D
in the meantime, if you still care,
http://mallplace.com/tweeter-wall/ms-twitterworld
unfortunately we have to redo some of the work from yesterday (see the note at the top of the page
HELLO! From JA:
Anti-pap measure.
on the day of a race? drastic times call for drastic measures... I guess they kicked Piquet out while the meeting is on? He might have to get used to that...
think the word your looking for is "meh".
:D But seriously, apparently, Ross said yesterday afternoon that there would be a meeting this morning. Everyone optimistic that a solution will be found, and they may all decide to enter by this Friday, after all.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75570
:) I just figured it was publicity for you guys? I'm just following directions:) I'm happy to keep voting because it's pretty easy to do, but obviously if nobody else is going to help, there's not a lot of point.
Wrong link. Lemme find the right one. :)
And here's the right link: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75563
it was fun, but i cant be arsed to do it again.
Agreed. Point is, we got her to the top 5, and that's that.
But if Twitterwall does these types of things, they should be ready for the load they may get. Have a DR plan in place...
Was it Scott's Script that did it? ;)
Uh-oh... :D
What?
Italy, not Woodwiss. ;)
Scott in Italy ran a script to auto vote ... now they say that their server crashed???
i can't think it was. I just voted every 20-25 minutes like any normal person. the difference is was that i wasn't at my computer to do it. nothing too tricky. i wasn't invoking a million computers to do it. just the one. voting as a person would.
Ah right, that's a relief!
Cool. I guess I'll stop voting then.
We know what you're up to :)
OK ... We'll just blame Steven Roy then ;)
oddly enough, i am okay with that.
Ah, everything's back to normal.

Shuttle update:
might be landing in 4 hours and 26 minutes - so after the race. very nice of them.
more info here:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/landing_blog.html
cake was a success and so far dinner is too. I'm good at this kitchen thing.
Can you teach Mr C?
you're still looking to get married then? You don't want this being at home for Monaco thing to happen again, right?
I could teach anyone my dinner.Step one, brown chicken. Step two, pour jar of butter chicken sauce over chicken. Step 3 eat.
I know for a fact that on only step one, he would get stuck and say: "Are they different from white chickens?"
Ah see... Mr C wouldn't have turned the oven on with those instructions.
oh dear. perhaps I don't want to get married afterall.
Mr C is um... unique I think is the word.
i did that for years too :) Just to spice it up sometimes I used beef.
any live link for non uk viewers?
I'mma head back to the daily since I'm not watching the race/forum no more
Sounds like a plan amy
Good idea
it finished a while back, too much sport on today
Such power. Everyone followed you
Scared she might assimilate us
Hahaha!
Now newcastle, hull and sudnerland battle out relegation surivial :)
:D
Is that...football?
[removes bad taste from own mouth]
Do you think if I watch this long enough I will learn French?
So far the only words I recognise have been "Roland Garros"
Oooh, should be fun to watch. Pre-Indy! :)
I'm afraid it is, but I doubt i'll be commenting on any of it :P
:D
I learn more French during the Eurovision voting
Praise be to that ;)
You will learn 15, 30 and 40 if nothing else
and Deuce. :D
when I was watching the ATP tour in Madrid it really helped me drill those numbers in Spanish into my brain!
Which sport to watch... too many options
To be honest the first round of a grand slam is kinda boring, I havent even heard of half these players.
None, silence is golden
It's one thing to watch, quite another to comment. :D
Hmm... the race is being repeated on the red button...
tempting...
Comment, Eat, Comment some more, Debrief Show, Comment a bit more with some Tweets interspersed here and there during the day :D
i'm watching the Grand Prix again, while making cupcakes, this is fun:D
I'm playing the Sims 3 while I wait for Andy Murray to start and hopefully lose.
Maybe this time Rubens will win :D
it's out?
Or did the plumbers at EA stop the water 'leaking out' lets say...?
Ive got 2 cricket matches, 2 football matches, and tennis all vying for my attention!
too true
its not out. put it that way. ;)
Ooooh, is it any good?
maybe.. i'm hoping for a jenson win though :P i hope Kimi doesn't catch up with Rubens... :P
and the shuttle lands in 28 minutes. worth watching
www.nasa.gov/ntv
Lewis' diamond studded full size replica helmet, yours for:
£15,000
I have a feeling he wont, i just have this hunch!
I have it on preorder but wanted to see if my computer would run it. It's very very very similar to other Sims games in that all of a sudden its 9 hours later and I haven't slept. So I think I like it.
I know how that one ends, never any overtaking ;)
Uh oh. I'll be buying it then.
the helmet of the guy who finished 1xth and a lap down? no thanks.
Understood. I wants it but I can't afford the time to play it :(
I missed the parade lap, is it possible to watch it again, or has it gone forever?
The trick is to never sleep. Ever.
Speaking of which, I read this story and thought of sidepodcast today.
so like Monaco :)
Do you think they'll give a discount if you give them Option Notes instead of Prime?
The replay is available: http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/05/24/live-the-jewel-in-the-parade-lap-crown/
A friend of mine linked to this. She isn't too impressed
Great i can now add this and rugby 7s alongside the things i need to watch live!
Good god. Some people ask for the health problems they get.
what an idiot. at what point do you think that is a good idea?
here's a key part
and did not recover from it until after a two-week stay in hospital following a minor heart attack.
Thanks, when the 8 live things finish ill be onit like a bonnet
Oh dear....
I also saw an adertising campaign for the Sims 3 last night with susan Boyle in the game.
ugh.
umm. in cas i get bored with the work and shuttle combination, which 7s am i supposed to be watching?
Twickenham sevens on Sky sports 3
shuttle is through re-entry. always a relief :) landing in 21 minutes. then I'll look at the rugby
my laptop has 2 graphics chipsets in it, and if i try run it on the 'good' one it crashes so I have to run it on the slow bad one. I remind myself it is not a proper release thought.
15 minutes to landing
Altitude 200,000 ft
was wondering where you were :)
Shuttle: www.nasa.gov/ntv (usually with on board cameras but no red button)
They were setting up a camera in the commander's window on Friday so hopefully we will get the view throu the HUD
NASA TV needs livened up a bit. This is rocket science and they make it sound like a bus journey
I've seen that before. I think at a night landing. was awesome :) So happy that this landing is now - nothing too serious to organise my life around.
Shuttle is coming in from the west and will overfly Edwards then return to land on runway 22
this has been the quickest 2 weeks ever
Yeah - think of live commenting when all you have is GPS data.
i love the quality of the map they use. it's like that WarGames film with Broderick. the islands are like triangles. so by landing at California this would normally cost 1 million dollars but given it's the last flight of this shuttle, maybe they'll just leave it there? although checks might been doing so they'll piggy back it for a glory ride...
you're not wrong!
nice blue screen there.
It's the last flight of this shuttle? There are another 6 or 7 missions and only 2 other working shuttles
I see a white fot
dot not fot
8 minutes till touch down
i thought i heard it was...
but i think I'm wrong. think i was getting mixed up with hubble. wires crossed due to too much work.
so how fast are they going at the moment
Last mission to Hubble but I haven't heard that it is the last Atlantis flight. I know NASA were asking for bids for the shuttles. Maybe sidepodcast can buy one and set up to rival Virgin
Last figure I heard was Mach 15 so now probably Mach 10 ish
Yeah I screwed up - there is a schedule flight for atlantis next year
ooh, fast
The good thing is we only have three weeks till the next scheduled launch
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/landing101.html
As it aligns with the runway, the orbiter begins a steep descent with the nose angled as much as 19 degrees down from horizontal. This glide slope is seven times steeper than the average commercial airliner landing. During the final approach, the vehicle drops toward the runway 20 times faster than a commercial airliner as its rate of descent and airspeed increase. At less than 2,000 feet above the ground, the commander raises the nose and slows the rate of descent in preparation for touchdown.
View through the HUD is awesome
What's happening next?
:) only 560 mph now
I am surprised it doesn't stall out at 500mph
Mission to the ISS
Astro_127 on twitter is the commander
Description: Space shuttle Endeavour will deliver the exposed facility of Japan's Kibo laboratory to the International Space Station.
http://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/schedule.html
I like the air brake in the tail
15 sec
hurrah!
touchdown!
I can't believe they wait to 300ft before they try the landing gear
Great landing usual crappy NASA coverage
They parked that thing further away from the stands than Jenson did a few hours ago.
i bet hearing 'welcome home' is always nice
Not like you "go around" if it doesn't work :)
I like that the commander tells them what runway he is parked on. Don't they know?
There is obviously a speed you have to achieve before you put the gear down but 300 ft doesn't give much thinking time if it doesn't work
FYI,here's a list of the wake up songs they play each morning to the lazy spacetronaughts out of bed
It may have been a quick two weeks but they did 5.3 million miles
Must be in need of a service
The speed would probaby rip them off, what's the approach velocity before then?
At that time it would be 300 mph ish. They announced 560 mph about a minute earlier
That'd be the reason then
NASA can't build landing gear that can cope with a bit of wind?
and when they touchdown, The orbiter's main landing gear touches down on the runway at 214 to 226 miles per hour, followed by the nose gear. The drag chute is deployed, and the orbiter coasts to a stop.
Scooter is the commander
Ray Jay is the pilot
No need
To be fair, 560mph is more than 'a bit of wind'
Added complexity & weight makes no engineering sense
What qualifies as a news story?
F1Technical on twitter
Toyota hope for a better weekend in Turkey after Monaco disaster.
Really??
Maybe it was a prayer ;)
That won't be too hard, I'm sure. ;)
300 ft at the rate that thing drops seems a bit late to find out that the gear didn't deploy. No chance to analyse the situation
If anyones interested, Andy Murray wil be on the red button soon
Even more reason to make it a simple as possible
As Scott said, they're not exactly going to go around are they?
looooooose, looooooooooose
Flippin' tennis is the reason I had to listen to Legard for the last two hours
Grrrrrrrrrrr
Not a fan Amy? ;)
he took the number 3 ranking from Djokovic and I am most unimpressed. I love Novak :D
bitter?? :)
But surely it would be better if they had time to figure out if it was a real fail, a sensor fail or a part fail
Oi! I will start that with Scott Dixon if you start on Andy
And do what exactly?
He annoys me... i think its because he reminds me of schumacher to much
Novak is at the motor racing while Murray is playing tennis. I think I can see the problem
I am not a pilot how should I know
Murray needs to drop the "i'm better than everyone" attitude, then I might like him. He hasn't even won a slam, he can't behave like that.
Are the gears of a free fall design or hydraulic?
I remeber the 737-200 used to have fairings that were angled so the wind deflection would assist the gear deployment
No idea.
Unless they can 'buzz the tower' for a look-see or have 10-15 mins to manually crank down the mechanism, they are pretty screwed if it fails.
Keep it simply for a once only shot
Novak seems to think that unless you have won a slam you dont deserve to be on the same court as him. And his fans...
Concorde had that, Flight Eng could go half way down the cabin and lift the carpet if the merde hit the fan. Never heard of them using it though but we used to have to test it on the Major Checks
Admittedly he gets a bit like that too. And his parents are horrible courtside. But he makes me laugh, I like a bit of light relief in sports.
On Thunderbirds a planes landing gear didnt come out and they used 3 big lorry's underneath the plane as it was coming down 8-)
That's a much better idea and would be great TV :D
Exactly. They would only need one big lorry for the shuttle or a trolley on a railway line. No imagination NASA
And could keep going all the way back to Kennedy
Save them the hassle of the 747.
They should land it on the 747. That would be spectacular.
Now we're just being silly, what is this Con-Air? ;)
Nah, chuck an Eddie Stobart out there with cross-hairs on the flat bed
I always thought a water landing would be easiest
Maybe they could try an aircraft carrier for the final landing of one of the shuttles.
Go out with a bang
For cartwheels, yes
Flav's yacht?
In my mind I have pictures of an entirely different kind of aircraft closing fast on his yacht. Bernie, Max and Flav are all smiles because they are getting a flypast but.
Big skis on the bottom?
I'd rather not. those things just aren't long enough.
The uplock hook is hydraulically unlocked by hydraulic system 1 pressure applied to release it from the roller on the strut to allow the gear, assisted by springs and hydraulic actuators, to rotate down and aft.
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts-gear.html#sts-gear
It is amazing how much info is available
It has been around since the 70's
Shame they won't replace it with another re-usable craft
I think it is a crazy decision
Why didnt they keep it secret? the Russians almost had a replica...
Ruskie replicas don't have a good track record, I think they have Lidl bits :)
It is beyond me how they can go back to an Apollo like vehicle that can't do things like service Hubble
The one advantage of the old fashioned rocket stack is that it has an escape tower on it so if there is a problem at launch they can separate the capsule from the rocket stages and 'launch' it to a safe distance.
it was Buran. it's toured around the world now, but never got off the ground.
If it helps them send men to mars, and go back to the moon i think it could be a good thing
and there was Moonraker
How would they get back from Mars?
i think that's a big reason - safety. i think they are nuts too about not having a reusable vehicle but i'm not paying the bills.
I don't think there is any reason not to send a shuttle like vehicle to the moon
not thinking about that right now - just can we get there
leave a cable behind as they go and pull themselves back along it?
Maybe they're waiting to see if there's anyone there to give 'em a ride home ;)
maybe getting the shuttle off the moon is a good one. it would never be enough power on it's own(??). they could use that an orbiter around the moon maybe?
Same as getting any vehicle mack from Mars.
Haven't even got many successful landings there yet
It was supposed to be included in the planning for Ares and it has been mentioned in the publicity.
I don't understand why they don't just launch Endeavour from Pad B.
right, sleepy times. back for debrief.
Don't sleep for 15 hours this time
i won't believe that you're actually going to sleep....
night, have a good regeneration
my boss would be most unhappy if I did since I'm meant to be at work in 6 hours.
gees :)
The Debrief is only an hour and a half away. Are you really going to bed for 90 minutes?
must be a good boss if they don't notice how wrecked you are on a monday.
i shall, but probably wont sleep.
OK random race question.
Say Massa went past Vettel like he did today by cutting the chicane, and then in the corner Rosberg had passed Vettel legally, would Massa have to give up both places, or just to Rosberg?
thud. the sound of my brain falling out. I'd say both, because Vettel would have to be in front of Massa - Rosberg's position is irrelevant.
ehehehe watching the end of the race again, with Jenson running down the pit straight makes me laugh and smile so much, even Kimi was smiling :) ahaha.
pah, i dont believe it
He passed Vettek illegally so he has to go behind him
I still dont know.. i'm pretty sure it would end up with some form of penalty if he didn't but its still pretty grey.
Kimi has a smile?
Vettel
send the question to Charlie if you like, but Steven and I have the same thought.The rule (as i understand it) is you have to give back the (physical) position of the car you overtook through an illegal advantage (more or less the rule) so the issue is Vettel and Massa.
i might be around for debrief later but for now i will disappear.too much too concentrate on :)
you can send questions to charlie?
See you later Scott
nah, it was just a joke. sorry :) the FIA would never welcome such openness.

Nice shot
i think we should be in this one
rgr
Ah what a lovely evening.
We have a stream at http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
So anyone have any predictions
I dont realy have a clue, which brits should we be looking out for?
Castroneves to win
Dario Franchitti is on the front row
go around on the first lap
500 miles and they crash in the first corner
Gut on the inside didn't know he was there
Disappointing..
I got my timezones wrong, I was expecting an hour of building and a race start at 7
buildup
Time xones get you every time
Maybe sutil should join in
Execlent! thanks!
Franchitti. Dan Weldon, 'Pink' Loyd.
Brits:
Franchitti, Wilson, Wheldon, Lloyd, Conway
I know the other 2, but not loyd, i take it the pink car is his?
Stunning number of people
It is very pink. It is advertising an energy drink for women and there are women in the race so figure that out
Go Dario
Paul di Resta's cousin leads
They have a rain light on cars that don't race in the wet?
They race in the wet on road courses and it flashes when there is a safety car.
thanks
aahh, not Hunter-Reay...
i'm about to start watching the race for the third time (while making dinner).... the red button is both a blessing and a curse..
You are obsessed. You could try the Indy 500 on http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
Honda engine is leading it
Isn't that a bit like watching a dog chase it's own tail, only less amusing? ;)
Debrief in the next hour or less
Woo! :D
A Honda Engine is also dead last
The same race three times must get boring even for a hyper Brawn fan
enjoying the indie. cheering for Briscoe, cos he's an aussie :)
i know... but it's fun. This year has made me love formula 1 so much more... i may need to seek help if it gets much worse tbh :P
nah, i'm alright with f1 :D
hmm.... still prefer to watch monaco gp again ;)
Just like Merc in F1
Nope. Although I've watched it twice.
Now thats a pit stop!
especially that race.
nope, it's not boring. not a tiny bit.. plus i've made cupcakes and everything :D
Paul di Resta's cousin is leading
4 different cameras! great :)
did they come out yummy?
meh, i thought it was rather good... should i also point out i've also watched the Australian GP twice.
Just loved 30 cars pitting simultaniously
yep :D i'll drop.io a picture later :P
Today?
aah a sport with that many teams ;) F1 can dream....
I thought it was a dull race. Even the start was dull.
not today... erm on the day of the gp..
woo!
surely someone out there must be able to invent the use of sending cupcakes in emails... ;)
F1 needs to have a pit crew for each car if they are going to have pit stops
imo the last dull race i watched was Valencia...
If they do let me know
I agree. It would end this rubbish of queuing when the weather changes.
nothing out of the ordinary happened? everything that occurred was easy to take in as it unfolded. what did you miss the first and second times, that need a third viewing?
how long does indy go for? seriously. no jokes like "forever" please :)
ah, okay, was worried you were a bit too much of a hyper brawn fan
That wasn't dull that was soporific
f1 minute is now up:
http://www.f1minute.com/
live coming soonish.
2 more hours I think
25 laps is 1/8th, its taken half an hour, so 4 hours :P
actually I'm still surprised that Piquet wasn't his own nemesis. i could watch that 5 times before believing it. but the rest of the race? nah. i can live without.
Depends on how many yellows. 500 miles at 200mph is 2 and a half hours plus all the yellows
i didn't miss anything... i just love f1 and enjoy watching the cars and hearing the engines, plus seeing monaco. i could watch f1 cars going round and round alllll day long.
i like how when he was out, we all assumed it was him :D
When they stop crashing they'll tick 'em off quickly.
im glad you put it and not me, ive just been watching because i love the whole atmosphere about the circuit and even though it wasnt as exciting as other races, was still very very enjoyable to watch I thought. Plus the end was hilarious :D
hehe. i still find it funny some guy has to lean out of a box waving a flag. what about Occupation Health and Safety - he could hurt his shoulder. Just put in traffic lights....
Debrief pizza in the oven and four small, hot chillis chopped and ready to sprinkle
That's a lot of adverts, boo to U.S. commercial breaks
i think that's because more people watch the first hour when it'S really tight racing. and more likely to be boring yellow flag sessions. but yeah annoying after I'm used to bbc feeds.
They are showing picture in picture for the green flag ads
I tend to watch F1 on telly, some iPlayer stuff and the rest is downloads. I rarely see adverts anymore :D
Get the download of this instead then... I'm probably going to get it because this feed is choppy as anything.
But I'll still try and keep watching live..
Quite clever really. people don't leave the room. and you get to see who the race leaders are without them constantly repeating them. here in italy we get picture in picture for moto gp but for f1 (i was watching not online) i just switch to the austrian or swiss channels. noone ever takes a break at the same time. i love that about living here.
really. not for me - I'm laughing at the advertising though. I've missed US prescription ads - we'll tell you EVERYTHING that could go wrong..
Boy I go to bed after Monaco and come back here after a couple of hours and find everybody watching the Indy 500, do you all have insomnia? As I refuse to watch oval races I shall return for the live show
Some of those complication seem very specific. They could probably only apply to 2 people at any one time
Stick around Aitch, live show isn't far off?
should not be too long i think for that (debrief show).
i'm not an insomniac but I'm stuck at the computer so easy to multitask :)
It's only 7pm
Not sure which complication you're talking about. There were a few pretty strange ones, but I think most state laws mean they have to tell you even if the chances are 1 in a million.
When the live show starts I'll go Twitter-only to keep out of the way.
I was thinking of the number of men who were also going to have cataract surgery and woul be concerned by how much semen they were producing.
not sure what i'm doing. had no intention of still be at the computer :(
you can carry on, on the daily thread pat?
I'm back. Didn't sleep a wink.
The live show will be on a separate thread Pat. My plan is to have the race on without sound so I can keep an eye on it while following the live show,
Don't want to dilute doohickey posts and feel bad enough for missing the show anyway
If you go to bed at 4 am knowing that you want to be awake 90 minutes later you are not going to sleep
4am. with all due respect, you crazy person :)
yip. Should sleep fantastically after the debrief though.
Most folk follow live events with the lclt so it should not be a problem. My problem is I need more screen acreage to follow to video feeds, two threads and keep title notes etc
Amen!
For 20 minutes before work?
OK ta. I need more screens too..
Indy coverage - the tracking system (the pointy things) with the speed. I'd love to see that in F1 start replays.
depends what time it finishes ;)
Amy the NZer is running third at Indy
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
Nice dinner time conversation guys :D
I tried to watch that but the stream was so jerky I gave up
It really shows how much Bernie is holding back F1 coverage
I had a few problems at the start but it seems OK now
Still pretty bad here but sticking with it.
Doornbos did well to save that being a disaster
never had a feed issue. another crash....
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
Briscoe in the lead, Ftanchitti second, Dixon third
Rahal out. In the wall
think i'll have to close this thread window....unless I turn on the second computer again...
He was running very well too
more pit lane action
nice spin in pit lane - i thought that mechanic was going to die :(
Girl in Indy goes up two places.
aah briscoe just lost heaps of spots. grrr... he was leading.
GO KIWI!!!
Gavin how was your Le Mans meeting?
Umm, pointless as expected. But I taped the Danish coverage and managed to find an MP3 of the 5 Live coverage, which was awesome!
Good stuff, am assuming you're also finding ways of getting the Beeb feed ;-)
Well I can live but if I miss it live, I usually have to wait until now to start to watch it ;)
ABC Up To Speed, running through the field..
Woman is on TV...
Will Power - Awesome name, unlucky b'stard :(
ANyone got any live timing for Indy? I guess PatW's tweets are good enough, mind ;)
thx :-)
http://scoring.indycar.com/flash/?utm_medium=popup&utm_source=indycar&utm_campaign=site_ts_click
Bah.
Try http://indycar.neulion.com/indy/console.jsp
Tracy and Bell both running very well. Both have taken personnel from Moraes' team to help out.
Yellow - Hamilton out
Lewis isn't doing well today is he?
Franchitti takes the lead in the pits
That's the only way that he's going to pass Dixon today ;)
He has been ahead of him since the start
Ah but it's early days yet. the first 180 laps are just positioning and the last 20 are where people make their move!
BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!
ooh look who just overtook Paul Di Resta's cousin! ;)
Big crash. Tony Kanaan!!
NOOO!!!! Tony Kanaan! :(
TK ouy in a big way
Wow what happened there?
Something broke on hte car.
half way @1 hr 40 mins
I wouldn't be surprised if Tony was broken after a hit like that!
Must have been. He looked fine and the car just turned right
Yeah it finished about 10:30 CET last year...
Two impacts. First something broke and sent him turning right into the wall on the straight. He then had no control as he was sent across the track and into the oval turn barrier
Did I hear the commentator correctly earlier when he said that N/H/L have never won at Indy?
Newman Hass Lanigan not Hockey
Don't know, I missed that..
I didn't mean Hockey!
HAHAHA just seen what happened in the football!
They mentioned it earlier and listed all th drivers they had since Andretti, Mansell etc
Girl in indy stuffed up her pit stop. overshot badly...
What the heck is FLOmax?
it's to stop prostate problems. the last 20 seconds of warnings is hilarious.
500 miles. ;)
Takes about 3h (or more if lots of yellows)
My ABC feed just died.
Mine is still OK
fine for me too
I dunno if this has been posted in the daily comments as been listening to debrief but, for discussion after the show...
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75610
FOTA want the rules to be reverted to this years regulations it seems.
seems a good idea for me. the rules keep changing (or trying to) with a month before the season. solution keep 2010, and make the 2011 changes during a 3 week break of racing.
indy has a wife due today in pitlane and she already has contractions but she's not telling the driver husband. hilarious.
girl Danica is 10th but yellow flag for something...
Because Mrs. Lloyd is giving birth?
Lap 129 - The gap from 1st to 3rd is now 2.16 seconds. This is a Brawn-esque display of dominance from Chip Ganassi Racing so far, but we've got plenty of laps left for it all to change. Bell has got past Dan Wheldon.
I lost me feed 25 mins ago and I'm trying Race Control on Indycar.com insted. But it isn't working well either.
indy -20 cars into pit lane at once. 4 cameras going.
franchini has a massa issue - fuel hose jammed.
mine is totally okay.
Meira had a fire in pit lane too. lots of extinguisher.
If that doesn’t work, goto http://pages.tvunetworks.com/watchTV/index.html and search for channel 77412…
Dario lost a stack of places.
but still carried on. Awesome!
Giant Dishcloths!
why?
there was a fuel spill issue and also a fuel rig problem - they were separate right? was Dario a 3rd
OMG that was a bad fire!
Thanks, trying now
looks bad, ethanol not too bad, thankfully.
will power in 3rd.
Has already been tweeted!
http://twitpic.com/5v9n5
Wow that was quick!
Gavin that feed worked on the 3rd attempt and seems pretty smooth.
The first 400 miles do not mean that much - more about staying in tounch, and geting the car setup. The last 100 miles is when the racing really starts.
What just happened to Paul Di Resta's cousin?
hand signals? gees. they use hand signals to send cars out?
whats his name?
agreed.
Franchitti?
Fuel hose got stuck
i think you've got the name wrong and i think he crashed. I THINK.
yeah that one. sorry. Francheschini right?
Castroneves takes the lead on the restart
you were right Franchetiti - 12th position.
restart issues. Briscoe has to go back behind Danica?
Hope he got enough fuel in
They've got sensors like F1 right? Could the rig have stuffed that up? I wonder if they'll bring him in during the next cautions just to check. if they have sensors it should be cool - unless they were damaged in some way
Does he plan to go to the end? Surely not, there's always a yellow before!
indy guys - are you in real time doohickey mode? what's the best way to have these different chats going?
danica showing no emotion after she stuffd up the pit? rubbish. she was rattled. commentators must be getting notes from leggard
I am in the lclt so I don't get distracted from the race
thanks. wasn't aware i could change the thread. new there was a better way
Two LCLT threads.
Danica always gets a free pass :(
Can use Doohickey or lclt
I'm in Doohickey because I was part-following the live show discussion.
you're not wrong. i swear they even commented about how apologetic she was.
Tracy falling back
but the doohickey shows all comments. made the last hour very hard. until i kind of gave up. and then bothered to ask :)
flomax. listen to the small print at the end ;)
lclt then
http://www.sidepodcast.com/ria/ajax/
Oldness or fatness?
Someone in the wall
Justin Wilson
:) yep on it. now.
Means no green flag stops this year..
nice not to have run off areas :)

:)
here is the pit dash
Come on Dario's crew. Don't screw up again
briscoe got 6!
I love the way the Americans do the pitstops. 4 cameras and multiple reporters!
me too, kazaartreous??
Whassat mean?
It was used to describe the result of a guy dropping a wheel nut so not good
you didn't hear it? i swear they said that instead of disastrous? anyone else here it? when the right rear tyre of whoever it was would not go on
thanks. glad i wasn't hear things!
He did
35 laos to go
laps
And look who is at the front - the one Mr. C. calls "the prat who dances"!
If Dixon doesn't win then it HAS to be Helio!
no need to correct. i was pretty confident you weren't talking about countries.
briscoe short fueled - hence the short stop. apparently
It will be Helio
uh-oh - could be a Kenny Brack on the cards here!
Woman in 4th
Got the stream up, go woman!
there's more than one by the way, even I've been making those comments all race
Dixon/Franchitti running 7th/8th are probably the only ral threat here
Go woman in 4th!
Still a long way and a couple of yellows to go...
How so? Do the guys in front have to stop again?
ok, am with you. where be you watching?
team tactics there :)
Only 28 laps
Im on the sofa :P
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
http://pages.tvunetworks.com/watchTV/index.html#c=77412
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
We be watching on TVU.
http://pages.tvunetworks.com/watchTV/index.html#c=77412
crash.
Because when they have been running together they have been really quick and they have lead a lot of the race
Yellow - Meira crash.
I'm getting info via twitter a good minute and a half before I see it!
True but this is where a lot of stuff happens...
http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html
Big crash
fuel is not an issue now, nice to see the medical guys there so fast
That's not a good way to watch :(
I haven't seen it yet.
I have closed tweetdeck to avoid that
wow hard hit
wow
Front left in front of right rear
he does not look good. i'd really like a thumbs up or something by now...
that was insane along the barriers
Ouch, Meira nosed it straight on into the wall.
It is taking a while...
Should be OK
Helio is in front - i thought Briscoe overtook. did they switch back again?
i agree, just seemed to be taking a while.
24 laps to go
Yep, just a little woozy!
no the other one - the one on the stretcher.
What was the message from the abc stations? more ads?
alert but in pain is the abc commentators comments.
Yes
American ads are very funny!
That accident sounded really awful.
More ads
Will there be a crash highlights video later of the 500 Commercials show?
Im missing them :(
sounded really bad
@me - great timing. you've just seen yellow and ads
briscoe comes in for fuel
:D
You can get them here http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-abc.html if there are any more
20 laps to the line
Typical American TV - 2 mins of the programme, advert, 2 mins of programme, advert and so on and so on until the end.
i'm getting a few buffering issues now here.
And I thought SPC buffering used to be bad ;)
more ads!!
are you getting them as well? (the buffering numbers). nothing major just a tad frustrating
I have had a few partial stops but genereally it is good
I'm getting them on the other one, having stupidly decided to refresh to bring it more in sync with live.. should have left it
And another ad break. This is getting ridiculous.
We just saw this ad as well!!! WTF?!
Without Firestone there wouldn't be an Indy 500. The TVU feed is showing an In car of Woman.
Danica's good to go on fuel...
nice jingle :D
Franchitti or Dixon touched the pit wall at the re-start
What do we think - "Woman wins Indy 500"?
No chance
15 laps. ooh goody
No, Dixon or the prat who dances...
Crikey, Helio got a flyer of a restart.
15 to go
Will Helio climb the fence if he wins?
livetiming is at
http://scoring.indycar.com/flash/?site=ims
but if the feed is delayed, it'll gt weird.
20 cars remain. 12 laps (on live timing)
Hate me if you want but - come on Danic....woman!
buffering!!!
Indubitably.
you can download csv files from timing. that's cool.
And to think - this guy was almost out of a drive before Long Beach because of his "tax evasion"!
The way Penske run their races is just so professional - that's why I think they should give F1 a go...
all of my feeds have now stopped
;)
AGR can't work together - so that plan ain't gonna work!
Now I am getting a lot of buffering
I think that crash stopped Dixon and Franchitti making any progress
Everyone tuning in to the final dozen or so
the channelsurfing one is buffering badly...
Why can't F1
Oops
Barring a yellow flag, Helio's got this one...
Scott's got a point
Why can't F1 have things the IndyCar coverage has like active gaps and things like that?
:D
It's just amazing how Penske make everyone else look amateur!
Because Bernie hasn't stolen that idea yet...
Bernie
No one will pay for it
To be fair, they kinda are (except Ganassi)!
OMG look at Helio's Mum and sister!
Thought so.
answer: because it doesn't make much difference of an f1 track -slow parts of track, fast parts of track. no point.
i do like it, but...i love the arrow pointy things though
Wow it's like a prayer wall up there!
Wow ... Rick Mears is his spotter?
Danica's edging ever closer to Wheldon.
The crowd wants him to win...
You know, people always call this race boring but every year something dramatic happens!
Damn buffering!
Biggest race in the world?
White flag!
Have you ever seen an American crowd cheer on a furriner like that?
By attendance it is by a long way.
HELIO! YESS!!!!!
I'm not that far yet. My feed still shows 3 to go.
FAANTASTIC
I wont give away the ending yet then
Mine has finished
He's in tears!
white flag for me
2 to go for me.
Mine came back with 5 to go and was clear all the way through
great race. thanks for suggesting it people. when someone talked about 2 days ago i didn't care. loved it. just finished.
True, but biggest?
Semantics I guess
White flag for me now.
or she ;)
Are they monkeys or something?
Haha you can tell she is his sister!
Helio makes it 15 for Penske!!! YEAAAAHHH!
It's his traditional thing to do when he wins - his nickname is Spiderman!
Fence climbing!
what'S this jail business they keep talkin about.
Yes but his sister wants to climb it to
I wish I'd put a bet on Helio - I kinda knew he'd do it this year!
I think Buttons run has the edge, but still cool
The inland revenue had him and his sister up on serious tax fraud charges in March. He was cleared just before Long Beach.
He was charged with not paying a few million in taxes by shipping the money to Panama
monkeys indeed - that was cool
oops.
He was found not guilty
hahahaha! It's a whole bunch of Spidermen! :D
They tried to do him for tax evasion for taxes that were not due until this may... they were trying to say that he might skip the country in May ... which sounds absurd to me.
Needless to say the prosecution laid out quite a complicated case for it and the jury ended up acquitting him, his father and his sister of all charges...
Where did Will Power finish?
On the basis of what?
5th I believe
5th, wasn't it?
power was 5th just chcecked live timing
What is it about comebacks this year in racing? First Button and now Helio!
That they couldn't prove that he was trying to evade paying taxes in a trust fund that weren't due until this May...
castroneves, wheldon, patrick, bell, power 1-5
dixon, franchitti, carpenter, tracy, mutoh 6-10
schumacher interview all over agin
And Rubens!
thx :)
tagliani, scheckter, lloyd,sharp,briscoe 11-15
Foyt, Fisher, Conway,Andretti, Duni 16-20
rest crashed
And Plato! And Thompson! (sort of for both)
Not at all - he's always genuine!
From @MyNameIsIRL - "Helio overcome by tears. Again. Needs a Kleenex sponsorship BADLY."
I say this is the greatest victory of his career given the circumstances.
Nice.
17th Sarah Fisher - i saw her on Jon Stewarts show this week. two women in final 20.
Picture in picture racing I understand. Picture in picture interview with advert audio seems a little pointless
They'll play it back in a mo
when someone is interviewed, yes.
I should really be in hear if talking about Indy
Overall, a good race then?
And it's illegal in the UK...
Um... well I missed most of it but it did seem quite good...
Thankfully
you know... Danica's on TV you know... she's talking about her race you know... apparently some stuff happened to her you know... I get really annoyed with her you know...
ARRGGGGHHH ADVERTS AGAIN!!!
i enjoyed it. but i at the excuse of not doing work, it was great.
Danica - third and saying she might have won if the race was 10 laps longer. not her fault to agree with stupid question from reporter
Is there anything worth seeing or shall I watch the F1 forum instead?
no idea. think i need to turn off the net ;)
Forum's quite funny but maybe that's cos we're commenting as they talk on the boat in their socks
Bunch of interviews I think.
Evening all. Just finished watching the race on iPlayer. Realised I've missed the live show :(
Don't worry, I missed it too. You're not alone :P
Hey Andy
Post Indy 500 talk on the Daily
Post Debrief chat in the Live thread
And the Indy 500 and the space shuttle landing
Honda gave everyone good engines you donkey!
and the things we blame Steven for game in Parade Lap
For me, Indy is an archaeologist.
Did Jenson explain why he parked up in the wrong place?
Bah.
Right, I've had enough of all the stupid adverts. Off to watch the Forum!
He said he is not good at parking
see you later Gavin.
I'm calling it a day on the Indy as well, too much buffering again to get anything from the interviews.
I'll still have an eye in here though!
Thanks for the loan of the Daily. :-)
Will catch up with the live show replay shortly.
they had a club even though no one was a member. genius.
we were going to start saying bad thngs about you.
thanks for taking good care of it ;)
I don't get any buffering when the interviews or ads are on. Only when there is racing.
i think more people probably came in for the end, and then left. i'm fine now. I think Pat had more issues than anyone us so not surprised it was bad.
Oh God... less than a minute into the Forum and EJ says something stupid!
this workplac safety ad is an aussie ad. made 2 or 3 years ago. useless fact.
what is this rubbish on tv now. i'm turning off now. see you all next time.
cheers scott.
See ya Scott
You just wait until you move to the states!
I must say that Croftie is so much better than Legard ... the way they commentate it's like a completely different race!
Now you're cross threading ;)
Does nae compute Cap'n
I'm confused!
I think the 'normal' TV partner Versus has taken over the post-race coverage. I'm not even looking for it, will catch it via other means in a few days. ;-)
Maybe we could all play together in the Daily and laugh at the images Lou is posting
so are we moving to the daily now?
Yes. Everyone is going to play together now
Is it safe, there may be some adverts in a minute ;)
Giancarlo Fisichella believes that a bad start cost him the chance to score Force India's first point of the season in the Monaco Grand Prix
Didn't being in a Force India cause them not to score points ;)
To be fair, ninth is pretty good but only because Toyota & BMW were so shockingly bad
Today's the day Force India should have scored points...
And last chance for a while as the other teams mods start to kick in, unless BMW and Toyota get worse
i'm about to post a comment with lots of links... i hope i don't get moderated..
Some comments on pics i've found so far,
- I didn't realise how cool le seb's helmet was!
- I think Mark Webber is really cool!
- This photo just makes me laugh
- told you i'd seen Kimi smile!
oh and some lovely pics of brawngp celebrating

I'm ready if you are.
Cool
wow i didn't get moderated. i (heart) the doohickey
Those are fantasic lou, love the Brawn celebration ones :)
Prefer De Seb's but that is nice
wow!
that'll be all little smiles from the rest of the year combined into that massive one :P
What? I swear Bernie, it wasn't me who called you a poison dwarf!
Ah, cos he has a big bottle of booze
My head is spinning from all the racing of this weekend. I may have to do something else entirely..
Bugger
Too much racing?
Ahh Bumsocks :(
:D
I think Brawn are trying out different overall colour options or they really are washing them with the odd socks
Apparently it is possible.
Great moment
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/celebrations2-jpg
As well as Monaco and Indy I spent hours yesterday on the Nurburgring 24 Hours feed. Remember - I watch this stuff so you don't have to.
:D
But what if you want to?
We certainly appreciate it :)
Then you are as mad as I!!
Don't you know it!
Anyone found any pics of the lass on the podium next to Prince Albert or know who she was, Royalty?
Scary
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/87946873/Getty-Images-Sport
And it'll all be mine Mwahh ha ha
ARRRGH!!! his teeth are worse than mine!!!
Turning laptop off, so I'll speak to you guys tomorrow. Night all.
Old pic, look at Trulli!
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/50890890/Getty-Images-Entertainment
G'night fella
Night Lukeh :)
S'been good though hasn't it? So excited for Le Mans!!
Good evening y'all, how are we all? Anyone been up to anything exciting?
anyone else thing Heikki looks a bit bored and lonely here?
night Lukeh
So am I mate, so am I!
He looks sad :(
Franck!
aahhh, i wanna go next year!!!
I just hope there's plenty of feeds up, i've had to just follow it on RadioLeMans in the past, not hte same at all
And Ant! :D
wooot
You know there are other cars and drivers aswell?
who?
I'm going to try and tweet from down there or something. I might be sending Pat a few texts if that doesn't work!
night lukeh.
Night Lukeh.
Oh absolutely! Le Mans with '09-spec internet goodies is going to be brilliant.
last year we had video.
Such as?
Poor Heikki
And why does that Vodafone sign look like a giant egg?
am gonna be supporting Ant in Le Mans this year btw... *runs*
i cant remember what i was doing last year, i think i missed that one
We had video all the way last year
Franck and McNish. We know
Not sure I follow?
:D
Double Muse for Lukeh!
:D
Night Lukeh.
Very! Le Mans with '09 internet goodies will be brilliant.
And live commented
thought this may be the case ;)
Ahem... Mr. Le Mans? Tom K?
all true. am really looking forward to this one. more than turkey gp in fact.
Cool, will keep it charged!
What goodies?
who?
Triple; they also sued City of Delusion at the start of Qualifying so 3 songs over the course of 2 days, you can read back on the comments to see me expoloding when the 3rd came on
anyways, really going now. *disappears*
I hope it's Ant vs Franck for the win :D
Doohickey started playing up there, slow posting...
Have you guys seen 'Truth in 24"? It's a movie Audi made about last year's Le Mans - it's very good!
WHAT??? I read earlier this week your complaints that you ONLY wanted to follow F1 and you were FORCED to follow Franck.
You lie!
Tom Kristensen - the man who has won the most Le Mans. Also Danish ;)
turns out you're converting him...
hehe.
mostly i'm looking forward to people coming and going in the comments during the 24hrs and seeing who's staying awake the longest.
I shall fall asleep with my head on my laptop again.
i'm going to try and stick to hte whole 24 hours, but i know i wont make it, ill fall asleep around 3-5am
NIce save there.
I am going to try as well - I bought 24 Red Bulls - how many will I need?
Anyone hear Bolero
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/hahaha-jpg
Me and Franck do not forgive you.
48 ;)
noted,
Sorry but what was so good about Jake's opening sequence? It was just him superimposed over old footage?
WOW, the Le Mans thread from last year was......
a staggering....
864 comments :o
;)
only a panda will get you out of this mess
Number 2 to McNish
Amy?
Definitely look like grey overalls here
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/running-jpg
pre-lclt though. that was 1,001+ f5 refreshes through the night.
Jenson really did do alot of running didn't he..
- 'run jenson run!'
- running....
- still running....
- more running
- ...nearly there...
- ahahaha!
Um?
Giggles, don't do it!
oh really? didn't know that, thats pretty impressive then
Great finds Lou
old-school. had to have the video in a separate window and everything.
woooow :D
i should probably follow that up with a "you kids don't knwo how good you have it..."
:D i love looking through all the photos :D
Except you can't because you're the one spoiling us.
Have found out that Podium Girl is Charlotte Casiraghi, fourth in line to the throne of Monaco.
and a "in my day.."
Daughter of Princess Caroline
oh. balls.
McNish is faster and better. You only have to listen to the guy who runs Peugeot. He spends every post race interview saying that apart from Mcnish he has the best 4 or 5 sportscar drivers in the world. Usually after McNish has done another incredible drive. His post Petit Le Mans interview was all about how no-one but McNish could have done what he did. Same with the Peugeot and Audi drivers.
Kristensen may have more wins but McNish is better.
Stupid BT
We used to have F5 imprinted on our finger tips for days after a race
Twitter updates from both fans and teams. Online video. Live comments!
:D
Ah, the F5 days. When all this was fields
I thought that ...
i didn't realise Jean Todt was in the paddock this weekend
(inserts animated gif of fishing rod)
From fake Tato Head
I'm still fuming about @FakePiquetJr getting me involved in one of his accidents, heard that Bourdais paid him to brake hard there...
I do that anyway
You are quoting the same Peugeot that have no idea how to run a race? Nice one!
McNish may be faster but Kristensen is a lot more consistent - and speed breaks cars, anyway!
Wow - where did all the rubbish just below the wall after the Loews hairpin come from?
Promoting his new Beatrix Potter movie?
Oooh, mama
I saw him too...
So Jenson gets to eat with Prince Albert coz he won? Cool!
do i put Enzo Ferrari on the wiki? he isn't really a celeb, but i'm not sure if i expected him to be there or not...
Me too, with Flibster's big screen link :D
Enzo's looking young for a guy that's been dead for 20 years!
Jonathan Legard referred to her as a 'girl that looked slightly puzzled'!
Oh I just move it to the side of the comments to get the most vertical space I can.. sometimes drag it over to the TV and double-click to full screen..
riiigght. ok.. i'm confused.... why did the caption say
'Enzo Ferrari, Great grandson of Piero Ferrari' ? i was confused when i saw it... but i figured it wouldn't lie to me...
yeah was about to say lol
I think F1 family members aren't a surprise but can do, don't see him all the time
it is enzo. another enzo.
little enzo i guess.
Maybe she was listening to his commentary ;)
Mini Enzo?
indie enzo?
Minzo?
Could well be that his name is Enzo. A bit ironic considering that Piero Ferrari was never considered a proper son by Enzo as he was born out of wedlock...
i see...
Full screen quality is too poor for me, Flinster's link takes up about half a page and allows Doohickey on one side and Tweet Deck on t'other
Enzetto?
You gotta love Monaco. No proper Parc Ferme, no proper podium, a paddock that's too small and no chance of overtaking - yet Bernie calls Silverstone out for not having proper facilities!
two last photos before i annoy everyone with my many links and photos :)
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/champaggggnnnnneeeee-jpg
http://drop.io/sidepodcast/asset/more-champagne-jpg
i like the champagne celebrations in monaco :D there is more room for them to spray it at each other :D
No keep 'em coming ... love the links!
LOL at Fake Buemi's new profile pic
http://twitter.com/account/profile_image/FakeSebBuemi?hreflang=en
thats what i get so confused about, there are other circuits that have worse facilities
Wiki is also updated with all the people i have seen in pics that i think are at least a tiny bit famous, and i remember seeing. i've probably missed some people though.
Quite Chimp-like or should that be esque?
Jenson certainly got some range on his in that first one... right into Kimi's face!!
Yeah, but it's Monaco baby
And the money comes out of the taps
the difference is silverstone looks like an absolute hole. in comparison.
That's amazing, thanks Lou :)
I may have to enquire about that nearer the time :-)
It's on drop.io but I can repost it nearer the time if you shout
Yep. I've not been during a GP but on an F1 test day it isn't great, and on a dull grey September day for BTCC it is a dump.
oh yeah. of course :D
Great shot, pun intended ;)
Oh God. Lewis quoted Rocky in his post-race interview :(
Wow Lou. Sidepodcast's own celebrity correspondent!
With links?
oooh yes
EJ Swore!!!
Goodwood meetup news: Can't remember if I said before, I was considering going (and saying hi!) but have been invited to a wedding on the Saturday. Not sure if I'll be able to make it Fri/Sun.
to what?
you want links to all of the photos?
I read that but missed it
In fact, I heard he quoted Eye of the Tiger, true?
Rubbish. Looks at any race McNish has ever done and you will find he is fast from start to finish. he was the first guy to do quadruple stints in sportscar racing because before him no-one could maintain the pace that long. You are clutching at straws dishing up rubbish like that
Maybe next time ;)
Not true - he said "I feel like Rocky in the first film when he said that he just wanted to see the end of the fight".
Okay ta. I'll have a look.
Photo linky when posting to the wiki
Too much hassle?
lol there will probably be less celebs in Turkey so sure :)
what if you spot them on the telly?
Well, I did read it from the Fake F1 tweets :)
That sounds a bit confused. He must be Piero's son
Is that not on the list?
ha!
haha :D
He was not given the Ferrari name until Enzo's wife died
Is that right? I do remember he used to use another surname and I was surprised to suddenly see him as 'Piero Ferrari'...
Kimi was sucking as hard as knew to help though
Rubens was happy here, he just got glum when he remembered he hadn't won and needed an excuse
Champagne magnet
Why does it matter anyway? I spent all of the film telling my wife how good McNish was and that his career was defined by being a lot better than his results suggested - and that he should have been in F1.
And I am not clutching at straws when I say I think TomK is better - for whatever reason he has won Le Mans 8 times and McNish only twice. Faster does not always mean better unfortunately!
He was Piero Lardi until Laura Ferrari died then he was Piero Lardi-Ferrari for a while and then he dropped the Lardi
Who wouldn't
That's the one. Lauda mentions him in his autobiography (a very good read, BTW...)
good morning from monday. I am at work and outrage, there is no milk. I am forcing down a black coffee because i feel a little bit piquet
McNish has been in cars so often that had chances of winning but for all sorts of reasons didn't.
I cook-a the pasta but I drop-a the Lardi so it taste-a no good!
Have you had enough sleep?
i think the question is, have you had any sleep?
Agree - that's what I was saying in the top part when I said "I spent all of the film telling my wife how good McNish was and that his career was defined by being a lot better than his results suggested - and that he should have been in F1."
Rubens looks like a little boy who has just won his first cart race
:D
That really is catching on isn't it, how long before we hear it outside of SPC?
By the way Steven have you seen Truth in 24? I reckon that's right up your alley!
She did invent it though...
Frank Williams all but said it the other day
How long have I been here, Monday is talking to me!
I nearly said it t'other day to my girlfriend, had to stop myself before i had to explain lol
Fair point

Making a music video together?
No
Wow Jenson's Mum looks like Dennis Taylor in that pic.
I really dislike the big sunglasses phenomenon!
I used it on Joe's blog but no-one commented on it
Well you should - and that goes for the rest of you as well!
Keep trying, repeated exposure should do the trick!
That is a terrifying combination
It just won't go away will it
Well people, it's been a fun weekend. I agree with Pat that his blog name is a great slogan for this particular weekend.
Have fun and see you all later!
See ya Gavin
Finally shaken off RG with that Icelandic girl
Between me and you, I think FOTA's winning
Have you got TwitPic bookmarked?
Night Gavin. And to think some people want Indy and Monaco on different weekends! Nice quiet weekend to recover next week.
Just add Darth's helmet & cape
Why George chose Ewoks
What do you mean, you want to sing here?
Unnamed laughter powered aircraft

That needs to go on the wikitionary
i have had about an hour but should be able to see the day out.
Enough to regenerate
Do you sleep Monday to Thursdays?
Night Gavin
16 hours sleep for you again tonight
Done

:D Awesome!
I usually stay up once a fortnight on a Sunday before an Early shift begins then go to bed about 6pm on Monday
Helps to sleep in really late on Sunday too, try it sometime
Nick,
Are you on the Listener Map?

Good man

Report on Vitor Meira after his crash: "Fractures of the L-1 and L-2 vertebrae. Plan for now is no surgery. He'll wear a brace for a while."
Lou, you're a super star. Thank you
i spent 10mins looking for some sort of photo gallery for Force India... but i found nothing :(
At least that is a long way down his back. Much better than a neck injury
Glad he's ok (kind of)
Thanks Pat
I have it on preorder but wanted to see if my computer would run it. It’s very very very similar to other Sims games in that all of a sudden its 9 hours later and I haven’t slept. So I think I like it.
Understood. I wants it but I can’t afford the time to play it {Comment #490}
I want it but can't afford the computer to play it on (this computer just about manages Sims 2 with all the add-ons and about 8GB of custom content)...
Giancarlo Fisichella believes that a bad start cost him the chance to score Force India’s first point of the season in the Monaco Grand Prix
Didn’t being in a Force India cause them not to score points {Comment #1069}
One of the two problems (the somewhat slow start and being in a Force India) on its own would have enabled Giancarlo to score a point. Both at the same time was insurmountable.
True :)
mostly i’m looking forward to people coming and going in the comments during the 24hrs and seeing who’s staying awake the longest. {Comment #1143}
I can tell you right now I won't win that contest!
