With just an hour to get our thoughts into some kind of cohesive order before the Olympics Opening Ceremony gets underway, we'll have to talk fast. There's a wrap up of the German Grand Prix to be considered, before turning our attention to any mid-week news, then finally plunging headlong into predictions for the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. Do join in the fun in the comments below as we record our third live Feet up Friday in a row - this is progress!
Hello all! *Excited!*
howdy sir.
How are you all? Looking forward another FuF, especially since Germany was such a sweet race.
I just have to say about Germany....
You ready?...
Ok...
Hurray for Vettel penalties! This will probably be the only time that I'm pleased with a stewarding decision, because it showed that at least all of the drivers have the ability to get penalized. Even the Wonder-child of Vettel. (Although what Vettel should have done is just run into Button, that way he'd just get a small fine like Pastor does almost every race!)
and I got the bonus of seeing angry Vettel, as he called Lewis unlapping himself 'stupid', and his little rant at Mark Webber during qualifying.
Button drives well, and Vettel gets mad. Sounds like a perfect weekend. ;)
Evening!
hey!
:)
Mrs TM is awesome. After a hard days work, I have dinner and F1 on. Setantatake BBC commentary and live!
Evening everyone in these comments as well.

Hello from nexus!
woot!
It just beeped at me. I don't know why.
www.bbc.co.uk/spo…olympics/19006132 BBC describes tomorrow as day 1 :)
I wonder how much the Olympics I can not watch, and then get told about it via the internet...
It's like collecting all of the sports that I don't watch on a weekly basis and playing them all the same time. Does that make me a bad person?
¡Hola! Am at a Tapas Bar, for a friend's surprise birthday. Sadly, no audio
It doesn't make you a bad person. It does mean you might want to avoid parts of this site for a while!
It knows you aren't drinking :)
How do you have a surprise birthday?!
Congrats - you were actually born the day before you thought you were!
tango!
Salsa?
I was thinking medium amnesia - every day's your birthday!!
hastings college in via voice
Hastings college? That's not what I said
Long time no see, peeps! :)
yo!
So is this the FUF?
Scott! Been enjoying your commentary on the FSR. (Unless its another Scott Woodwiss I don't know about).
Hi everyone.
Haha yes, 'tis me! Thanks bud, appreciate it :)
I'll tell you something off the bat - I've made a spreadsheet containing all the broadcasts I'm due to do over the 5 leagues (yes, 5) from now until the end of the year. The total came to 52.
Voice, please accept my humblest apologies in advance.
Live streaming link should be coming soon...
That would have been my next question.
I don't remember how I did it the last time I attended.
We should be live if you want to refresh the thread, or the dashboard, or the sidebar, etc, etc.
Also playground if all else fails: http://sidepodcast.com/playground/
Yep! I hear music!
Yay!
♥
Do love hearing this music again :)
I have music and Gary and Sue in my ears
My rabbit's trying to eat paint off the wall…
Boo can't stream on here, it shows me a puzzle piece so I guess it needs a plugin.
Streaming from iPad instead
nexus? what about playground version?
Man, I haven't been in one of these for ages!
I love how this website is higher tech than the website for the college I work for.
it doesn't do anything when I click play on the playground html5
Sounds like Jenson, my cat.
Also, I hear the music too! Mission Accomplished!
hello!
Sup Lukeh :)
Shouting into the mic, Mr. C? ;)
MrC sounds happy :D
Crazy!!
oh it does after reloading the page
Sounds addicted!
Forget the Olympics...
On mute, but still in front of me :)
Nope.
Cracked open the RedBull, is that a metaphor for their struggles with the stewards.
Mr.C sounds out of breath... lol
What about Sunday!?!
F1 this weekend though?
Good point!
Mr C - torquing fast on Red Bull
I have no idea what's been happening in F1 since I last read something on Tuesday.
Didn't think turbos came for a few years yet
Mr. C said after this he can forget F1 and be all about the Olympics.
To paraphrase.
Secret testing maybe?
As I read it, Red Bull played dirty (air) and got caught.
I like how F1s are using V8s and we assume that they have no torque. ;) jk
The comments are just as fun as the race!
I'm addicted to every session now.
That's what was going on! I thought that Lukeh was predicting the future in that last race!
Lukeh predicts the future every race. F1 Debriefs are testament to this!
People who use the internet, when they don't want to get race spoilers make me so upset! Especially when I've already watched the race and want to blog about it!
He aimed for it.
#BlameFelipe
My scripts are getting worse, I must make the races MORE unpredictable clearly
Don't we always? It's fun!
I think Mr. C is doing this show while holding down the KRS button.
Don't take lessons from Bernie. That's my only request. Otherwise, have at it!
!
Maldonado as he ran over the carbon fibre "50 points! Get in!"
Pastor's got all of the money in the world, so why not hit it?!
:D
It was amazing!
DID I MISS IT ALL!?!?! :(
Super maldonado kart - he thought it was a red turtle!
It was 2.4 seconds.
There's a Pastor Realty in Monaco. Scary
2.31
Hybrid of a hybrid system? (KERS + DRS)
That's what I thought too..
The pitstop anyways.
Maybe with some Lotus FDuct thrown in
Actually, you're right here, but for some reason the TV just rounded up when they brag on it. ;)
Surely it would be rounded down to 2.3 in that instance?
Sauber can't even afford chairs for their own mechanics... maybe less is good.
I don't think TV people are totall au fais with rounding numbers.
TV counts in tenths, and then breaks it out. Watch an old F1 pitstop from the early 90s to get an idea.
they should replace the driver at pitstops to make them longer.
Put rubens in, like.
You know Maldonado's been banned in Monaco since 2005 for an incident he caused in a race?
If they brought back refueling do you think they would spray the car with water afterwards too?
They should force teams to reduce the number of mechanics in a pitstop.
What can you do in sub 3 seconds ... ?
Breathe?
His father paid Pastor out of that ban, so it's not a problem anymore.
Some things I can't mention here...
It took me longer than that to type this!
#Thatswhatshesaid
Say "sub 3 seconds"?
Someone paying out something for Pastor?!
surely you jest ;)
Then Williams would have wasted all that money on Michael Johnson! :p
Plaaaaaaaane
T minus 42 minutes and counting ...
Heck, with driver changes why not do Le Mans and refuelling.
No its entertaining! Keep going!
Angry Vettel! Talk about Angry Vettel! ;)
I don't think it was a telling off, just noticing :P
I have to watch it on talking to fast when commentating :P
is there a live stream I'm missing?
Mrs. Christine's Kiss of Death for Hungary goes out to.......?
It was all the torque of the paddock that morning.
Should be on the sidebar
I'm sure that Force India have an illegal torque map, and are just chuckling, because no one cares about their car.
@lewishamilton: We speak mostly about safety & rules eg today where Seb took jenson last race, will now be changed to AstroTurf to stop that from happening
They are going to put astroturf around tracks now??
I want to know how they always seemed to end up in front of a Sauber no matter how many times we overtook them.
Since when were race tracks being turned into 5-a-side football pitches? What next, that "3G" rubber ball stuff? Oh wait, marbles...
Vijay sends out a 3rd car but the team are so anonymous no one notices.
therefore.
#blamesutil
Thanks Pat.
It'll be interesting listening to Mr. and Mrs. C in normal speed. Mr. C sounds really slow.
it already exists at lots of corners
They smoothed off the peaks in torque at the appropriate rev ranges for the corners so the driver can be on the power more = more blowing.
It bugs me that the FIA complained about torque mapping, because the teams have several different torque maps for all of different conditions.
BUT they basically say "It's not illegal, Red Bull, but remove it."
That made me cranky.
It's because Paul Di-Resta is awesome. ;)
hahaha, I listen to you at 1.5x speed :)
At Silverstone last year for the 6 Hours all the cars drove over it at the exit of Club and it got all torn up
Yeah, it's the first one I've been able to make it too.
Yeah, that works.
Now for the roll call:
See below at commentor names.
See, time saved.
Your rush for the Olympics, is making me rush to type a comment. (PANICS)
Lukeh, ever the time saver!
I listen to all podcasts at 1.5 speed, except when Brian Brushwood is on :)
Not a single tweet from Hamilton was spelled correctly... Ron Dennis probably had a heart-attack.
Well NASCAR tweets while in the car...
Rubens is still good on twitter but he's more for family stuff obviously. And his bromance with TK.
Lewis has pretty much discovered it properly this week.
Now on the laptop for audio. HI!
People not concentrating on their day job = EVERYONE in the comments. lol
Apart from Lewis' mention of Chris Brown :S
I've got a tab open for my job...just in case...
:( Oopsy - that's me told :(
Not just any friend, Zara! A wedding to be seen at!
As if Mr C now wants everyone to plan everything around F1's summer break, fan or not. There's gonna be clashes :P
They may have had to schedule the wedding too far out and not have known the F1 schedule.
The summer break is always in August though...
Didn't Jake do Beijing 2008?
Your!
Canceling a wedding for a race? That's so romantic... :)
"Your" ...
Also, F1 races used to be 2 to 3 weeks apart, very rarely were there back to back GPs. A saner world.
I wanna hear a story!
This means that there is a SERIOUS story. ;)
YOu didn't got to a GP for the honeymoon?
F1 > Wedding >Olympics = Perfect way of thinking.
Everything > Olympics is my way of thinking.
Amen!
Pastor?
Lewis will probably crash while listening to his Ali G mp3s during the race...
Yeah, I said it...
You're such haters :(
Say struggle and I immediately thing Pastor...
I like how Romain tells Jackie Stewart that he doesn't need driver coaching help, and then he crashes in two practice sessions and a bad race.
He's not my favorite anymore...
Jackie Stewart just hexxed Romain's car. Fact.
Michael was just faster in older rain. ;) In younger rain, it gets the better of him. ;)
Qualified 3rd, and finished 7th - MSC
18th is where he finished
Ferrari was probably higher off the ground than the Merc, ride height being more critical these days.
#nottryingtodefendhim
'New' rain is like 'new' maths - different and harder.
Oh wait, I'm still thinking Grosjean..nevermind.
Whose teammate do we pick for Badger?
New math: understand the method, don't get the right answer. #whatsthepoint
If you jinx someone whose crashes in practice, then he should win the race!
Go MSC!
I think Schumi should be banned from Hungaroring
Christine's Curse>EA Sports Cover Curse
Fernando for the win (31st on his 31st BDay) (Another romantic view of things - even though last week's didn't pan out)
:)
You made Kimi mad with that Petrov comment... So mad that he fell on a car after the race. ;)
He got a 2 second qualifying penalty in 2006. Close enough?
Not for almost killing Rubens!
Amazingly I'd forgotten about that. I feel bad now. :(
The Ferrari is probably a great car now, and Massa is just slow. ;)
BAN HIM!! ;)
Not sure you can make predictions in order to design how you'd like the season should play out.
Reenacting his Snow mobile antics?
Has to be said, I've done the exact same, but alc was involved.
Jenson for the win in Korea.
HEELS!
Bleep it = Bugle style
Instant ban for Mr C :P
Too bad F1 cars don't have horns...
Drive through?
Sidepodcast Bunker! Boom
Vettel and Maldonado would be laying on it the whole race...
I want to photoshop that.
Ihad great WiFi :)
hahaha, at a Lemons race a few races back on a Friday, some woman doing the track day in her boyfriends Porsche backed into my brother-in-laws lemons car because said lemons car couldn't warn her without a working horn.
A bunker will protect Mr C and Christine incase Maldonado happens to drive by, and try and crash into them. ;)
That was a good article.
Why thank you good folks.
It. Was. Awesome.
I super enjoyed it. ;)
AMY!
Don't worry too much about the comments - I was sat around for a bit, but was nice just to have it open.
I couldn't connect at all, and 3G was barely useable for the amount of people in the area - I 3G 2hrs before the meetup so all my Twitter updates had to stop.
Loved the meetup even though I did a horrible job catching up with everyone and meeting the new people.
You didn't want to say hello to me? (heartbreak) jk
Much appreciated :)
Because i have a crappy nokia
We could get a Mr. C cardboard cutout.
Superman cutout with it's head cut-off. ;)
With a blurred out face.
I think we should hold one nearer to wherever you are, without giving away where you are, somehow.
I can put a piece of paper over the Shay Given one we've got.
Win!
I'm mad at the Olympics because it made FuF short. Another thing that the Olympics have ruined... lol
Yay!!
4 in a row BINGO
Hey! Cleaning was hard! Shush you!
Byeeee!
W00t! I'm glad I could finally make at least a part of one.
I'll see you all in the other thread...
Boring though. Even us waffling is more interesting than cleaning!
*waves*
See you in the other xomments
I love waffles.
i didn't name check turkeymachine, but thatnkyou for joining today and thank your lovely wife for being brave enough to meet yesterday ;dir ;)
You did not see the epic mountain of stuff that I had to deal with. It was a battle, especially since I played the Matrix in the background for some of it, so it sounded like I wasin a gunbattle. ;)
sir!
Most welcome, and she loves your hugs. :)
♥
replay embedded. worst opening evah :)
With mr. C forgetting why Christine cancelled their first attempt at a wedding, did anyone else think that "These two are a regular "Mr. and Mrs. Smith..."*
* Minus the gunplay of course..... :p
Christine thought the power of her curse was waning?
Mr C tipped Lewis for pole and win. I think Lou will want Mr C to tip Jenson for Spa after that
i did too, w00t!
