Yesterday was something to behold, wasn't it? For those of us watching qualifying, we had quite a long time to wait to get to the results. For those who didn't, the highlights will sum it all up for you in a much more sensible amount of time! Here are some of the things we're talking about:

F1 Wolf had some troubles with his site earlier today, but is back up and running now with his rundown of all that went on in qualifying. Probably best to read as many posts as you can about qualifying to try and make sense of it all!
Ollie has written about the BBC and their coverage of the extended session yesterday. We've had some choice words to say about the BBC recently, but they did seem to cope with the uncertainty really well.
In the self-promotion department, we have got the new season page working over in the playground. It lacks something in the looks department, but is fully automatic, so everything should update as the site does. Yay for not having to manually enter things anymore!

That'll do for now, I reckon. I'm hoping that today there will be less hanging around and waiting for the action to begin, but who knows!

The weekend is upon us, so it's time for you to let us know what you're up to. It's a non-race weekend, so I hope you're all doing something exciting. We want to know about it. Don't forget about the inaugural Sidepodfilmclub showing of Talladega Nights later, as well - more information here.

Making the most of the news regarding Renault's impending hearing in front of the WMSC, we posted quite a good looking F1 Big Picture, and the associated F1 Minute yesterday. The debate is raging in the comments over here on whether Piquet is smart/stupid/talented/useless enough to have pulled off such a feat.
We're posting guest articles from the hosts of Sidepodradio shows to promote their segments, and hopefully get a bit more interaction if some is required. If you are doing a show, please feel free to forward me a few words to publish on your behalf. Oh, and if you're a listener, make sure you keep your eye on the blog for ways to get involved.
Finally, a few days late, I read some interesting statistics on F1 Wolf's blog. He's rounded up some facts and figures to establish whether this latest record of six different race winners in as many races is as unusual as it seems. Short answer - it is. Long answer - read more here.

That'll do it for now. Another reminder for Sidepodfilmclub tonight, we'll be opening a thread in time for the film to start at 8pm UK time. I hope you can join us, but either way, I'll see you in the comments.

As it's the weekend, it's time to share the love and see what people have been blogging about. In fact, there are a lot of good posts doing the rounds at the moment, so here's just a few of them:

I particularly enjoyed reading F1 Wolf's post about how the records have changed now that Webber is a race winner. Heidfeld is really starting to stack up those finishes without a win, isn't he? Will he ever manage to score that elusive victory?
Two drivers have captured the imaginations of Scott and RG respectively. Scott's written about Le Seb - a popular subject at the moment - particularly focusing in on the aspect of drivers moving from America. Meanwhile, RG has made the case (and an excellent one) for Liuzzi getting a seat in F1.
Some photographs have surfaced of Heikki and Lewis taking part in a Marks & Spencer's photoshoot for a new kidswear range called "Living the Dream." This is beyond the most peculiar F1 story of the year, and I can't quite form words to describe this picture of Heikki on a very small bike.

That's it for now. I hope you're enjoying the start to the weekend, and have good plans for the weekend. Let us know what you're up to if you haven't already. I'll see you in the comments.
