The sound of Murray Walker, without the excitement that usually tripped him up!

Excellent.

(have not listened to it all yet, saving that treat for later...)

Murray jinxed Toyota with his predictions :-D

Maybe he meant manufacturers

I listened to it last night. Wasn't really anything I didn't already know, but was pleasing to listen to while cooking dinner. I'll listen again.

ACK, the same for me (although I had breakfast while listening... )
Tuesday after the first race is a bit late for a season preview, but the race review wasn't too bad. If they could put it online on sunday afternoon I'd listen to it without a doubt, but even monday may be too late to still grab my attention.

Sorry to do such a blatant plug, but we have started one too, if you fancy a more Renault-focused thing!

bpl - no thank you, I prefer to hear the whole, unbiassed story than one team's biassed version.

Um, I think that the team podcast is not supposed to compete with BBC for its balance. Rather it's there to provide some inside perspective that a third-party may not be privy to.

I listen to both.

Keep it up bpl, and don't let the occasional detractor get to you (though I'm sure you are prepared for that already!)

[bpl]

Hi Peter, it's not a biased version, rather it allows a more complete look at what our team did. What did you find that was not accurate in the Renault version? As bluetentacle suggests, they are complementary...

Is there any way that those of us using homebrew linux/mozilla to browse the web can get this? It doesn't seem to like the itunes site.

Formula Pod is a great listen also, as long as the boys stay on topic!

pppf1, got a link for that?

F1Rejects don't seem to be doing race by race podcasts.

[Timstr11]

While we're on the subject of news from races in all it's forms, I would like to point those interested to the Toyota website where one of the technical people keeps sort of a diary of the race weekend.

A great inside view on how they go through the weekend.

And it lacks an RSS feed. Won't be visiting there again. The Renault blog has a feed so Renault win again.

boo hoo

Thanks for that - and good luck in Australia....

[zac510]

I thought the BBC one was better.

[bpl]

Hi Zac, what did you prefer about the BBC one? The style and content, or the fact that it deals with all the teams rather than just one? What do you think could be added to the Renault product to improve it?

Thanks!

[zac510]

Yeah pretty much exactly that, that it dealt with all teams. This week's BBC program was a huge improvement on the first week's.

I don't think radio is the right kind of medium for a one-sided program. The Renault program just sounded like a dictated press release (Symonds: "Thanks to the team, Giancarlo didn't anything wrong all weekend etc etc"). If you read the news websites every day, you've already heard it.

Radio needs a bit of varied discussion on air to 'involve' the listener.

Lots of Renault's other marketing strategies have worked really well but this one didn't grab me.

I did wonder what the podcast might sound like if the team hadn't won, but I suppose that is when the marketing team will start earning their pounds ;);)

[tripleM]

Personally, I like the Renault press podcasts.

We usually don't get to hear the chief engine director or aero guy speak enough.

The discussion we hear on the podcasts are usually lifted directly from the news bits on the front of each of these F1 sites.

[bpl]

Thanks Triplem! I enjoyed the Sato piece on the BBC podcast, so we may try and do that - and to have team-members explaining their jobs as well, because you don't get to hear about the weird and wonderful things we have people doing! We'll keep on experimenting and see how it goes...
