Grand Prix Rejects

In Turkey, Webber and Vettel looked set for another 1-2 but a collision between the two drivers resulted in Vettel retiring and Webber being demoted to 3rd place. The McLarens of Hamilton and Button capitalised on their rivals mistakes to take a 1-2 for their team despite a close battle between the two team-mates later in the race, while in Canada, Hamilton ended Red Bull's unbroken run of pole positions. Lewis Hamilton won a very eventful Canadian Grand Prix, with Button finishing second from a grid position of 4th to make it a second successive Mclaren 1-2, and the third McLaren 1-2 of the season. Fernando Alonso finished the race in third, having started third, although was disappointed not to have been able to win the race after having fallen victim to traffic on 2 separate occasions, giving first Hamilton and then Button opportunities to overtake. Sebastian Vettel finished 4th, Webber 5th after having started 7th due to incurring a 5-place grid penalty for a gearbox change under parc ferme conditions. This race gave the lead of the drivers' championship to Lewis Hamilton, 3 points ahead of Button who is a further 3 points ahead of Mark Webber in 3rd place. McLaren's pre-race lead of 1 point in the constructors' championship over Red Bull Racing increased to a 22-point lead due to this result.

In Europe, Sebastian Vettel got his title ambitions back on track with a win that looked in doubt after Hamilton gave up the chase 5 laps from the finish. Lewis Hamilton had been penalised with a drive-through penalty, allowing him to stay 2nd. His team-mate Button followed closely behind in third. Mark Webber had a huge collision with Heikki Kovalainen after pitting on lap 8, in which his Red Bull flipped violently at 190 mph, landing upside down before bouncing over and careening into the barriers; it was later revealed that the destroyed chassis was the same that Webber had driven to victory in Spain and Monaco. Alonso came 8th and was furious with stewards for delaying Hamilton's penalty. This was Sauber's second double finish, showing their technical advancements. Kamui Kobayashi spent all but six laps on his first set of tyres. He rejoined ninth, but was able to put moves on Sebastian Buemi and Fernando Alonso (in the final lap and the final corner respectively) to finish seventh.

I mean, they're pretty much a part of, well not exactly my childhood, but I've been listening to them pretty much after every race since I was 13, and I have fond memories of hearing the "G'day everyone, and welcome to another Formula One Rejects podcast, my name is Jamie McGregor, and sitting here next to me is Formula One Rejects Site Author, Senior Grand Prix analyst and [whatever he is this week] Enoch Law, Enoch..." - "G'day Jamie" introduction, and especially for a person like me who plans to move transcontinentally, it would be wonderful to have it stay with me always, wherever I go, as a sort of tangible link to my youth. Or whatever.

Sorry, I got a little sentimental there. Anyway, ON WITH THE COMMUNITY PODCASTS! I will listen to them with interest. ^_^

How'd you figure that out?

Just depends when you're planning to do the recordings.

Sorry mate, I don't think it will work out this time.

Besides, I've already got a co-host now.
