G'day everyone,

Thanks to a public holiday on Monday here in Australia, please find uploaded for your listening masochism our Singapanese GP Edition of the podcast.

It contains in depth discussion of the two GPs in question - the controversy of stewards' penalties, Mark's continuing bad luck, Heidfeld's first piece of bad luck in 25 years, Lewis and Vettel's tearaway victories - it's all there.

We also cover StefanF1, Alex Yoong at Lotus, spend many many many minutes dissecting the surprising, unforeseen, bombshell that Alonso's off to Ferrari …. and kick off plans for a "Race of Rejects"!

Enjoy!

Thank you, guys. Downloading now.

It was a public holiday back in Portugal as well. After so many references to Portuguese pilots in the Podcast lately, I am finding ever more references. Would anyone like to stand up now?

Wait, what did I miss? What was this public holiday that seems to have been everywhere but here?

About the most pitstop in last 3 years, I think your answer is Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica who did 7 pitstops during European GP 2007 and yet manage to finish 6th and 7th respectively. Same race in which we had storm on lap 2, Winkelhock in Spykar lead on lap 3, 7 cars into gravel at turn 1, Hamilton put back on track by a crane. Both BMW drivers managed to tag each other on lap 1.
Race also recorded most pitstops ever 75. Previous best was 69 at European GP 1993 at Donington.

Awesome! Sensational. We may try to get this on the next podcast! Thank you...

This is surely going to put doubt in Bernie's mind about giving Vanuatu a grand prix...

by the way, Jenson only needs 5 points not 6 like you said.

He is ahead on wins so Rubens and Vettel can't tie with his total points,.................. and the way he's going about it, he'll probably scrape in with just the 5 points he needs!

Great podcast BTW, I'm hooked.

You're logic is correct (to the point where I double checked the league standings before posting) but Button does in fact need 6 points. This is because Barrichello is 14 points behind with 20 to play for, so to get equal points to Barrichello Jenson needs another 6 points. Then the fact he has more wins will garuntee him the title.

1. Button 85
2. Barrichello 71 (91)
3. Vettel 69 (89)

In brackets are the minimum number of points Button needs to beat Barrichello and Vettel respectively.

So when can we expect written reviews for the two races? Not meaning to be rude, but it's almost Brazil...

Both have been written, they are just yet to be posted.

Heavens, people still read my dribble despite having the podcast to listen to??? :shock:

I actually prefer the written stuff. There's more substance. The fluff is fun, though, but a lot of it becomes irrelevant over time. The race reviews, not so much.
