The big news in Formula 1 at the time might be not even from F1 at all (like is usually the case in the podcasts) but in fact, from NASCAR. Scott Speed, the former Toro Rosso driver who almost scored a P8 once, has successfully made brought his car into the Top 35 of the owner standings, guaranteeing himself a grid slot for the first 5 races of next season, including the Daytona 500. Guess what position he came in at the end of this season? Yes, in 35th. He beat the experienced John Andretti to the final spot, which is something that Speed's former Red Bull teammate AJ Allmendinger did not achieve in his rookie season.
I have to admit that I'm not a NASCAR follower and only look over their results once in a while, but still, this seemed noteworthy to me. By the way, Massimiliano Papis came 43rd in the standings.

Another Gaston Mazzacane perhaps? The mechanics better run...
