So who do you think will get the title this year? Massa or Hamilton?

Personally I would like and think Lewis will get it - however he doesn't seem to like doing things the easy way. If he does get it I expect it'll be by 1 or 2 points. :rolleyes:

Here's the drivers table as of the 7th of October

<table class="three-col-results" summary="table detailing the driver's championship table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><th>Driver</th> <th> Team</th> <th> Points</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1. Lewis Hamilton</td><td>McLaren Mercedes</td><td>84</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>2. Felipe Massa</td><td>Ferrari</td><td>77</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3. Robert Kubica</td><td>BMW Sauber </td><td>64</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>4. Kimi Raikkonen</td><td>Ferrari</td><td>57</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5. Nick Heidfeld</td><td>BMW Sauber </td><td>56</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>6. Heikki Kovalainen</td><td>McLaren Mercedes</td><td>51</td> </tr> <tr> <td>7. Fernando Alonso</td><td>Renault</td><td>38</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>8. Sebastian Vettel</td><td>Scuderia Toro Rosso</td><td>27</td> </tr> <tr> <td>9. Jarno Trulli</td><td>Toyota</td><td>26</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>10. Timo Glock</td><td>Toyota</td><td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>11. Mark Webber</td><td>Red Bull Racing</td><td>20</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>12. Nico Rosberg</td><td>Williams</td><td>17</td> </tr> <tr> <td>13. Nelson Piquet Jr</td><td>Renault</td><td>13</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>14. Rubens Barrichello</td><td>Honda Racing</td><td>11</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15. Kazuki Nakajima</td><td>Williams</td><td>9</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>16. David Coulthard</td><td>Red Bull Racing</td><td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>17. Sebastien Bourdais</td><td>Scuderia Toro Rosso</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td>18. Jenson Button</td><td>Honda Racing</td><td>3</td></tr></tbody></table>

I hope it's Kubica but that's just for patriotic reasons ;)

not bringing him in at china for new tires when the sensors on the car told the pit's that the tires were worn out, his fault ?

Not telling them he had to go into the pits or just driving in, in which case they'd have had to change them, not his fault?

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

i think that Massa will win it this year. Next year i think someone new will win it, not hamilton, but maybe BMW or Honda even, maybe even Red bull, depending on how all the teams adjust to the new regulations

If ferrari continue to mess up in the pits and get engine problems then they won't be winning!

Woah look! It's DJ Drew!

doesn't matter does it? the BBC are doing the next few years.

so pretty much all the ITV F1 staff are facing the chop - I expect the BBC to get 1 or 2 of the ITV team, Maybe the commentators.

According to something I read the other day the only person they're keeping on is Martin Brundle and I hope to God that that's true. I may have to break my telly if James Allen is allowed to keep commentating.

I think the BBC will go for a more top gear approach when presenting the F1 instead of ITV's interview heavy program. at least I hope so, I've started to tune in when the race starts and not watching pre race stuff it's getting really boring - only good pre race bit is when they are on the grid interviewing random people

hope bbc hire martin brundle and they keep the grid walks just for quotes like this

Martin: “Any interesting people in your little entourage I can talk to?”

Bernie: “The Prime Minister.”

Martin: “Oh, you’ve done me before on Prime Ministers!”

if you don't want to know todays result until the re-run don't read.

Wow.. today's was over in the first few laps, Lewis needs to learn to not always go on the attack - instead he did and ended up 12th...

He wasted a set of tires on the first corner ¬_¬

He was lucky Massa only gained 1 point, I wonder if her will get punished for hitting into sebastian bourdais

They decided to give Hamilton a drive through, so surely Massa should have got a 10 second stop and go?

driving from (mostly) off the track into the side of someone else is much more serious than going wide and forcing overs off the track.

spoiler in case anyone is waiting for the re-run to see the result

He [Lewis] managed to actually finish this time was was nice, shame kovi didn't show the same pace as lewis so that the points damage could have been more but Lewis can afford to come 5th if Massa comes 1st and win, However with lewis it doesn't seem to be that easy...

We'll see...

      Thanks for posting these! I've been looking for any clips/full shows from the late 90's and through the 00's and early 2010's. I found one a while back on Mixcloud from August 2000 with Clive Warren on weekend early breakfast into Mark Goodier on Saturday breakfast (which i believe was his last 'regular' show outside of chart and was replaced not long after leaving him with just the chart for his final 2 years)

      A few more new uploads from recent days: Zane Lowe sitting in for Moyles and revealing the No. 1 for the BBC's Sound of 2012 Greg James's first show of 2013 Three more recordings of antique Moyles, first from the 8th and 11th Jan 2000, and the other I've only yesterday managed to figure out was from the 23rd March 2000, with Chris & Co. live from the TopShop in Leeds where he started his career. Two shows with six years between them, Dev's first early breakfast of 2012, and the first Moyles breakfast show of 2006. And likewise, two shows from Chris and Dev with nine years between them (the 2002 recording also has a full edition of Newsbeat and some Dave Pearce too)

      Radio 1 Rating for 2025

      By Wandering Belle · Posted

      I really struggled with the NYE show this time around. I’ve listened for the past 5 years and this was by far the one I enjoyed the least. Too much newer music and not enough classics round midnight. Really hope they can get Charlie Hedges back on it next year as she’s so good.    As for the rest of Radio 1 in 2025 - I haven’t always been able to listen as much as I’d like. Our work radio is set to what was once the local radio station but is now a national Scottish streamed station (which in comparison to Radio 1 - is awful). I’m mainly listening to Greg before 8 and then Going Home after 4. Greg is still as good as ever and a really steady set of hands. Going Home just needs some stability. Katie is the one least likely to leave and I find that interesting as she wasn’t originally part of the Going Home show when Jamie was drafted in. I can’t see Vick being back somehow - think she wants more presenting (which I think she’s really good at) and Jamie - the constant days off… it feels like the colleague who’s always pulling a sickie. i used to really enjoy the 00s/Noughties show but I think it’s been done dirty and needs a fresh set of eyes on it. Nat and Vicky just focus on playing music that is still relatable to now and it’s split between anthems and Nat and Vicky. I used to really like listening to it as they’d often play songs I’d forgotten. But recently it’s the same old, same old. I think the Noughties show needs an approach of someone a little more specialist (like Fearne does with Sounds of the 90s) that can really bring it on. A good example could be - Geese are getting all the plaudits right now - but their music reminds me on the Doves around 2002, which was very hyped at the time (and played to death by Radio 1).

      Superb! I'll enjoy having a gander through those. Here's something for you to look through if you haven't seen already in return. Lots of Radio 1 and Moyles stuff in here early 2000's and some breakfast, it was all uploaded during the pandemic by someone I kinda know. You may have seen some on mixcloud too. https://archive.org/details/chasefm If you want a more specific breakdown of the Moyles ones in there, I put them in a thread on chrismoyles.net https://chrismoyles.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=28030

      I've compiled all seventeen of my tapes here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Em5QUpE7_ESnKThQmTij1OF1LbdpOmk_?usp=drive_link There's also a document with some of my attempts to breakdown the recordings on each tape.

      I think one of the October 98 ones is Moyles' second ever afternoon show, caught by chance by Adam I believe. You'll have to let me know if you have any of the missing bits from anything incomplete, if you get the raw MP3 over of it I can bind them together in audition to complete it.   Really looking forward to hearing the early 00's Moyles stuff, right up my era for my time listening to Radio 1. I'll listen to that one later tonight on my walk.

      Some more bits and pieces: Sara Cox, with her first show of 2010: Scott sitting in for Fearne & Reggie on the first chart of 2009: And the first of the digitised tape recordings, Chris Moyles from (I believe) the 5th January 2000. Regarding those Google Drive files, there's some great stuff in there! I think I have some bits from at least one of those partial Moyles shows in there, so will need to take a listen...

      That's rare to see a full day from Radio 1 like that. The Scott Mills one is my recording from the day. I put up my archive a few years ago to mixcloud of all the shows I recorded of him between 2005 and 2007. Before you had to start paying. I think this should be viewable, but I digitised a tape collection a couple of so years ago. Not my recordings, someone else's. All Radio 1 from 1997 to about 2000. Chris Moyles, Zoe Ball and Kevin Greening, Mark and Lard. Plus a few other bits. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ul5dq3vQlIOkzsVc5UK4Y05FSXIm_TXV

      First few of these now available: Tom Deacon sitting in for Sara Cox on New Years Day 2012. Despite being a regular listener at the time I have zero recollection of him. One I'm sure will go down well round these parts, three and a half hours with Scott (and Chappers) in for Moyles on his first show of the new year, 2nd January 2008. Radio 1's Top 40 chart of 2007, with Fearne (no Reggie, surprise surprise). This has been made available before via the chart community, but the first half hour is in better quality. From December 2012, Reggie Yates's final show at Radio 1, with that years Xmas Top 40. Again, technically already available elsewhere, but this copy includes Reggie's final goodbye link, which is missing from other versions. And if anyone can cope with even more Xmas music post-December, two shows from Christmas Day 2007, Greg's first ever annual Xmas morning show, and a special one-off with Kylie Minogue.   On a final note, I uploaded these last year (with the exception of Scott) as a bit of a test run. A full day in the company of Radio 1 from Moyles through to Colin Murray. https://www.mixcloud.com/Brigham27/playlists/r1-28062007/
