Christine's productive evening - Podcasts, rankings and writing from one night at Sidepodcast HQ
Published by Christine
A glimpse at some of the hard work that goes on around Sidepodcast of an evening, with a podcast news round-up, some Christine's Rankings points updates, plus glorious photography and a look at some Formula One technology.
Sir Frank Williams has been inducted into the Motor Sport Hall of Fame this evening, as the magazine host their second annual event in London. BBC anchor Jake Humphrey conducted proceedings as Frank joined the eight founding members who joined last year - Tazio Nuvolari, Enzo Ferrari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Ayrton Senna and of course, Michael Schumacher.
The upcoming four-day test in Bahrain, plus the season-opening Grand Prix itself, may not take place after protesters targeted the high-profile event as a way of getting their message across. Political tensions in the country have been rising steadily over the past few days, with protesters gathering in their thousands to make their voices heard.
There aren't an enormous amount of team points to be handed out this week - now that the launches are all done and dusted. Testing in Jerez was a rather muted affair, but perhaps Barcelona this week will offer up more excitement. Nevertheless, I've managed to hand out or take away points for naming conventions, for dodgy hats, and for not giving your young drivers all the support they need. Literally!
Timo Glock kicked off last week's rankings in the same fashion that he ended 2010 - leading the table. It only takes seven days for things to rapidly change around though, and for this second week of rankings Glock has slipped down from P1. Today we have more good wishes for Kubica, a fashion faux pas or two and some great interaction on Twitter.
FanVision have launched a new generation of their handheld spectator device, the FanVision G3. FanVision is the new name of the company formerly known as Kangaroo TV, a brand that has been associated with Formula One for a number of years. The aim of the device is to allow fans at the circuit to get more information as they are watching a race unfold, and the new G3 looks set to improve things even further.
