Alonso returns home and Kevin and Terry revert to the familiar homely feeling of calling him the c-word. Webber is homesick and takes a trip down under, Alonso’s engineer is the most italian person ever and did Hamilton slow or speed up?
The rain in Malaysia falls mainly on the qualifying. Kevin and Terry discuss Mark Webber bottling it, FIA press accreditation rejection and the sweat that’s pouring from Eddie Jordan.
Is F1 fucked? Should we write off 2010 already?
Bernie has been saying that the rulemakers need to be outside of the teams
Racing and entertaining the public, not about playing with computers and going fast over one lap. The problem is that you cannot really have teams, in any shape or form, having a part in the sporting or technical regulations - you cannot have the inmates writing the regulations
Well, we at anotherf1podcast are not inmates, we are dutiful spouses who still go and visit the loved ones that killed our sport and arrange conjugal visits, try to sneak in files into cakes and otherwise tell them that they’re doing fine.
But we’ve had enough. Diffusers and shit tyres that are too good are here for 2010 and they’re not going anywhere. So we need some new rules that can be brought in immediately. Most of these go agianst the grain of what we want F1 to be, but we’re in desperate times people!
The most the teams have come up with is a second pit stop. A SECOND PIT STOP? Is that the best they can do? All that will do is make the dull once stop race where for two laps something almost happens into a dull two stop race where for four laps something almost happens.
All the best race have been the wet ones. Have sprinklers out on track to fuck the cars up.
Reality TV shows are still the rage, make them live to gether and do tasks. Then clips of this can be shown during the races dull bits.
Like the Apprentice, fire the weakest (sorry Badoer - You’re Fired!)
Although unwanted, there’s no doubt that spring-in-the-facegate livened up an otherwise dull Hungarian GP. Have catapults on the side of the track to put the drivers off
Instead of a dull camera feed, make the red button a voting system. Whoever gets most votes suddenly has a sparkplug let go or something.
Oh, a sensible suggestion. Put the faster guys at the back and make them work for it.
Stop pretending the Mercedes Hatchback is all about afety. Group the cars back together like NASCAR and have them fight for it.
To slow the cars down in the aftermath of Senna’s death there was a bizarre (and still in place) rule to nail a plank of wood to the bottom of the car. Let’s extend that, replace these fancy front and rear wings with some two by fours. That’ll stop the aero dominace.
Fire Bridgestone and get our mate Barry to supply tyres from the scrap heap that’ll actually puncture.
Leave your suggestions in the comments people.
Bob Bell has today been one of the more vocal critics against McLaren’s funky rear wing
In yet another story that no one is calling “winggate” (yet) the head of the Renault team accused McLaren of not sticking to the spirit of the rules
This is from Renault, who have a two year suspended ban hanging over them for staying so far out of the spirit of the rules they hired an exorcist.
In what no one is calling “winggate” the McLaren team have been told they are fine to race with their novelty rear wing at the Bahrain GP.
The wing, said to be worth 0.3 sec a lap and upwards of £35 on eBay differs from the rest of the field mainly in colour, using a more aerodynamic shade of silver than the mercedes GP team.
Sources at the team say they are glad that none of of the FIA inspectors noticed the compartments to release nails and oil slicks on the track.
