An Aside With Joe

Daily: 28th September 2009

Monday is upon us again, and we have only the briefest amount of time to recover from Singapore before turning our attention to Japan. However, it is still all about the night race, and here's what we've been talking about:

F1 Wolf has been enjoying himself at the racetrack, and uploaded some pictures to his blog of Saturday. I do find it interesting that Wolf says he struggled to get pictures of the darker cars, such as Red Bulls and Toro Rossos.
The replay of the live Debrief is up and available if you feel like watching the entire unedited process. Mr C was on top form, banning pretty much everyone from F1 and taking all their superlicences away. Meanwhile, I was struggling to form sentences. You'd think by now we might be good at this podcasting lark!
Button is closing in on the championship, and in just seven days time we could be looking at a new World Champion. Do you think this is going to happen, or will it go down to the wire like the last couple of seasons?

That'll do it for now. Let us know what you're doing on this fine Monday, and how it's going. I will see you in the comments.
