Joe extends the season just a little bit longer as he covers the week's important topics, including the shenanigans at Toyota, BMW and Renault, the long term view at Williams and a free Prius.
Additionally we talk knocking Gino, punching Ron and solving the problem of the Ferrari roof.
As ever, all of this and very much more, in this episode of An Aside With Joe.

a quick apology to joe for sitting on this show for 24hrs, we couldn't find a spare couple of hours to get it out the door.
hope y'all enjoy it, was one of my favourite aside episodes. don't forget to check out the show notes, plenty of links to work through as you listen.
grrr its more than an hour, grrrrr
but, oh so close.
Just.
oh boo I want it before I leave the house but I can't ever download full files from the site :( *kicks throttled internet*
righteo I am trying the torrent method for the first time ever and it appears to be working. You will not beat me, internet!
:D Ehehehehe.
should also thank sidepodcomments for help on sunday pronouncing qatar.
11 more minutes then I can leave the house and take Joe with me :D
awwww!
I need to wait for itunes. It's the law.
if only I could transcribe while I listen while walking. Without a computer. Or anything to type on.
it should be there too. except not in the itunes directory, because apple still work at a snails pace and update only when it suits them.
RG Bargy - I like it! :D
hehehe. i love this show (am listening again).
download is done, its on the walkman, the weather has hit 30, I'm finally leaving the house :D
Well done! See ya Amy. :)
Have fun Amy
Spare a thought for the guy who (if I remember correctly) left Honda when it went bust and moved to Toyota. I remember this because it was this guy who revealed the double-decker concept to Toyota. And now Toyota's gone bust...
Nice answer to f1scoop, BTW. Genius.
super aguri, wasn't it? but yeah, he must be jinxed.
oh yeah, it was super aguri. but they too went bust...
Gino = arrogant dork. Yes yes. :D
Excellent show - you're getting better at banter, Mr C. ;)
really enjoyed it, glad you liked.
if anything i was concentrating on asking actual questions, rather than raising a topic and hoping joe figured what i was implying.
:D well, joe tends to drift to points he wants to make anyway if it's related. so you're better off asking proper questions, then let joe do his thing. :)
really hope he's back next season.
me too :)
Great show as usual and didn't seem anything like an hour long. I could listen to Joe all day.
Can't seem to be able to download it from drop.io, it's giving me error all the time. Never mind, probably a temporary gremlin.
I had the same problem
ahh. i look into that. what about from here?
I just tried. It seems to download OK from the SPC site
thanking you paul.
It plays here and on drop.io but I'm getting weird text on the screen the moment I press download button. But it's ok, I can listen, I just like to download it and then listen to it on my mobile phone when at work.
Another great show. I think in this episode more than any the thing that's struck me most whilst he's been talking is that he's just a normal guy, doing a job that he loves, and fran(c)kly i hope he keeps going for as long as it stays that way.
Awesome guy!
Thought he was a Super Aguri guy who moved to Honda, then Toyota.
Will download when I get back.
Heh... RG bargy :D
Joe was right about the Gino bashing.
The Dutch F1 presenter (15 year veteran) said this of him:
Ah Gino, job title: Annoying little s..t
Job description: Walking through the paddock as wide as possible and stepping on everybodies toes.
But then, he works for Ferrari and I don't.
Nice description I think.
Amazed it took so long for someone to say it :D
many thanks to Me and Joe for an excellent season long series of conversations.
They are an excellent summary of the 2009 season
I was at the quiz night in question (Belgian GP 2007), and I distinctly remember not only being beaten to the Prius by Joe, but also that the prize was a three-year lend, not outright ownership.
I'm always very suspicious of people who turn up on web forums, etc, and promulgate 'inside info' from behind the veil of a false name. What's in it for them, apart from a peculiar form of self-aggrandisement?
He worked at Super Aguri, then when Aguri went bust went to Honda, then when Honda went bust he went to Toyota...
Wouldn't be surprised to find he was poached by BMW at some stage mid season.
It's an odd thing, really. But FWIW, he has been accurate more often than not. Perhaps, as his name implies, he just likes getting the scoop?
That's even worse. The guy must be practically unemployable right now. I wonder if he's talking to Renault right now...
are you sure? i thought a couple of people went from aguri to honda, but one escaped from aguri, cologne bound?
has he/she though? go back through the tweets and tell me which were both accurate and a scoop?
of 1,079 tweets, how many made any difference to our lives at all?
what's really interesting to me from this aside conversation. is that we're all refreshing twitter hoping to find some news from a reliable source, yet joe knew 3 whole days before twitter exploded with toyota echoes.
the real-time web is fast, but joe is faster.
a lot of them were...
hey autosport... i said that first! or @5livef1... I wonder where you found that out
But @noblef1 had teeted 10 mins before he did anyway
I marked his as GMM esque a few weeks ago.
If it is somone in the press room they have a bee in their bonnet
You may be right... http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns21284.html
But I thought he had gone via Honda. Perhaps not.
i was thinking team lackey given a free (voda)phone.
Good point. But ultimately, Joe didn't break the news first (which was the right thing to do given the context). It seemed to come out on Twitter first.
it didn't quite. it was published by a japanese publication first, then translated and propagated via twitter.
Joe's 'Massive Assumption' comment was too subtle for me - I only just listened to the Aside today and checked out the comment over the weekend - because his replies don't thread together I assumed he was talking about Villeneuve...
mmm, yes, that's right. i remember that.
I thought the most telling of Joe's comments was the disconnect from what Mr C thought Joe was going to say and what Joe actually said.
Twitter is desperate to be first (or rather those on it). To the extent that people make things up.
But what Joe is doing, is what we want, the first to be able to explain what it means.
i hadn't thought about that at all before. i've just been interested in those who are right, rather than those who are first.
if anything though, joe's point highlights the limitation of 140 characters. you can't explain much with that limitation.
Formula Fords with huge amounts of engine power... sounds lovely!
For as long as there have been interweb BBs there have been people who like to stir the pot. I know of someone who invested a great deal of time building up the trust of people on Star Wars forums about 12 years ago so that he could spread abject misinformation and get them all excited over nothing.
Wot he said.
And no spell checker.
Any thoughts on who it is?
And did your mate Benson reply to you?
hadn't thought of it like that mike, cheers.
You know what, you could make an audiobook out of them and include some PicApp pictures - sorta like a special edition of the year... ;)
Someone with a beef against a certain MAGAZINE, and who cannot spell.
Not even to pose the question #whoareyouanyway
Seems like PressDog is a fan!
