090719 German GP Edition

G'day all,

Well, we've just posted our labour of love, the 2009 German GP Edition of the F1 Rejects podcast. Full of emotional tribute to our man, Mark Webber, and the sensational job he did to win the race. Full of other stuff, too, including FerrariStu's brilliant Ruby/Barrichello mash-up.

Sorry it's a bit on the long side, but there was much to cover, and we tend to dissemble. Think of it as two 30 minute podcasts and listen to the first half this week and the second half next week.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Jamie

Looking forward to listening to it, I'm happy your boy finally won and FerrariStu's video definitely deserves a mention.

I must point out a mistake on the podcast - Michael Schumacher wasn't disqualified from the 1994 British GP for overtaking on the formation lap, he was disqualified for ignoring the penalty that was handed to him for overtaking on the formation lap...

Great Podcast as ever guys

Excellent podcast as usual, keep it up

fantastic podcast!

another small error though - Advance Australia Fair was only adopted in 1984, so was not played at Alan Jones' last win in 1981.

Despite listening to it on a bit of a downer after the news about Londono-Bridge and Surtees, it was a great podcast.

Let's not allow the facts to get in the way of a good story

You know, I had no idea it was that recent. I was slightly horrified that I didn't know. Mind you, I was pretty young at the time.

Just a quick congratulation at the excellent podcast, guys. Excellent stuff!

One of the better podcasts.

I actually like the podcasts that are a bit more on the longer side, because then there's more opportunity for you guys to ramble a bit and then the humor builds.

The Bernie/Hitler section was fantastic. :lol:

I agree with this statement. A little bit of rambling is always good.

I'm not entirely convinced that is the case. Although it was not officially made the National Anthem until 1984, Advance Australia Fair was made the National Song for ALL occasions other than those of a regal nature in 1974. Then in 1976, this was rolled back slightly to occasions of a regal, vice-regal, defence, and loyal toast nature.

There was a plebiscite in 1977, which AAF won handsomely and so it would have been used from then on. It wasn't until 1984 that it replaced GSTQ at even regal occasions.

my information came from this government site, which doesn't mention the extent of which GSTQ was reinstated in 1976 - as to which you refer.

However, from reading some posts on other forums, apparently AAF was played for many, it not all, of Alan Jones wins, so I am prepared to admit that I was incorrect.

Thank you for yet another great moment in F1 Rejects Podcastery.

Just listened to this edition for the second time while riding the lawn tractor around and around and around (kinda like Nascar, but more exciting because I can change direction and go the other way if I like)...

Anyway, I recall that Michael was penalized because he passed the guy on pole position and this was the big no-no. Hill was to have the honour of leading the pack and controlling the pace of the pack as well.

eta: just to add that this was an excellent podcast as usual and I enjoyed Webber's win immensely, it was so well deserved. Us Canucks also get miffed when our anthem, so infrequently heard at major sporting events, gets cut off or otherwise mangled. Keep up the good work chaps!

In a sense, both tc3j3r and dresda are right. Michael Schumacher's black flag was for overtaking on the formation lap; the three-race ban was for ignoring the black flag.

And I think the crucial difference with Schumacher was that he wasn't recovering from a lost position from a spin, etc, which you can do if the whole pack hasn't gone past you - he just went past the pole position man full-stop.

Annoyingly, I can't hear the podcast when I try to play it through my computer. My computer's on-board sound card has packed up, so I've got to wait for a new sound card to be fitted before I can listen to any more F1 Rejects

If you have an iPod or any other mp3 player, you can listen to the podcast there. That's why it's called a podcast

I have neither of the above. Would a PDA do?

If it does audio.

Most of the new PDAs play audio & video. I have a 3 years old Palm that does it, though battery life is not exceptional.
Many new mobile phones can be used to play podcasts too.

I used to listen to the podcasts on my PSP for a short time...

Right, I'll have a look through the options on this thing. There'll probably be something

Alianora La Canta · Post by **Alianora La Canta** » 05 Aug 2009, 21:20

Sure enough, there's a "Play Music" (and even a "Play Video") option... ...but the computer crashes every time I tell the file to transfer to the PDA!

I think we have a Docking Cradle Reject...

Hmmm, can you connect dome headphones to the PDA?

Just steal a computer from the office or something, this one's really worth it!

My usual headphones are fine, but without the docking cradle I can't get the podcast onto the device in the first place.

I can't steal a computer from the office yet, but my plan to do so is looking good - I had an interview on Wednesday and it went really well, to the point where getting voluntary work in the office in question looks like a formality.

I will get to listen to this podcast before Valencia, I promise!

I love how you got Mark Webber name the episode

(Yes, I'm currently listening to F1R German GP (Ya-ya-ya-hoo Yay Etc.) podcast

)

By the way, Enoch must have got cloud nine over the moon by being so happy that he managed to move celestial objects under the cloud layer. Rumours that this caused the Pleisad meteor shower earlier this week are under investigation...
