An Aside with Joe - You can't make an interesting sport without good characters (Part 1) // Joe calls in with a two-part special for the first shows of 2011

After a short winter break, Joe Saward is back to catch up all that we've missed in Formula One. For this first of 2011 double-episode special, the topics come thick and fast, starting with Bernie doing what he does best, thoughts on untoward business, making a mockery for publicity, plus what to call the new Ferrari.

Also on the agenda, the flotation of Williams, plucking bunnies out of hats and putting sponsors on the board. We also discuss buying-off journalists and disgraceful publishing before learning about iPhone spies in the back of a taxi.

As ever, all of this and much more, in the first Aside with Joe of 2011.
