Formula Pubscast

For the first episode proper in our new series, we arrived at the giant screen at the back of Birmingham's Hennessey's pub for the Monaco Grand Prix We thought we'd try out a new format, namely a "react to events in the race as they happened" style like all those cool kids on youtube are doing. And gogglebox. You be the judge as to its success. In what ended up being a test of endurance, we kept thinking of ways to throw the chequred flag early and go home. That's Monaco sometimes Follow www.twitter.com/formulapubcast for latest info on the events if you want to join us, or just have your sarcastic comments read out by Paul or Miller

Surprise! We're back, due to no demand and no-one's request We decided this "talking about F1 down a pub" idea was far too good to let sit idle, and in advance of probably not having anywhere else to watch the races when Sky take over completely in 2019, we thought we'd bring back the old favourite. Someone's old favourite, somewhere. Maybe. To re-acquaint you with the Pubcast, we thought we'd record this short(ish) (Re)-intro cast so we can set our stall out once again, and also bring ourselves up to date with everything that's happened since we were last podcasting. Everything gets discussed from Nico Rosberg's championship, the rise, fall, rise and fall (and fall again) of Max Verstappen, Williams woes...you get the picture.

"It's the last race of the season! The end of a season that pretty much ended a few races ago sees a last day of school atmosphere descend over Birmingham's Apres Bar where the Motorsport in Pubs and John Button Appreciation societies meet to dissect the Abu Dhabi GP and the 2015 season as a whole. And a bit of Tennis. Listen for tales of the race to get to the venue via public transport, how much the FIA like to penalise drivers for not crashing and who we think will be the featured runners in 2016. AND and Exclusive report on the Singapore GP 5 races too late by someone who may or may not allegedly be the drunken English fan who ran out on track! 2015 over then, it's been a sporadic year, both in F1 excitement and pubcast appearance. Whatever happens to both of those things next season, thanks for listening to this vanity project that may have even been a bit entertaining. Maybe. Bye.

A race we didn't think could happen due to the storm battering the area of Austin, Texas ended up being one of the best of the season. A fantastic race for the attendees of Birmingham's Apres bar to react to, overtaking, wet strategy, scrapping and drama for almost every position on the track. And how did it end? Well with a new World Champion, same as the old boss. And due to the timezone a lot of lively pub goers ready to espouse their opinions on Lewis, the three fold king.

What a fool running across the course! A RAVING LUNATIC! Good news fans of race predictions that are out of date! The pre-race intro makes its return for this Pubcast! And what a race it was, Mercedes out of form, stupid random drunken fans wandering around the track, crashes coming out of the pits and a different winner to normal. Well, the other designated winner of 2015 anyway Listen for all the fun of the pubcast personalities, except Lyden, who was there and went home at the chequered flag. boooo lynden, booooo. No Pubcast for Japan due to the time difference so we'll HEAR you again for Russia or one of those random races that happens in 2 weeks...whatever! @formulapubscast @motorsportinpubs

Well, there were a few things that happened on track, a few more important things that happened after the race and a few more foul-mouthed things that happened in the pub in the aftermath of the race. This is the Italian Grand Prix Pubscast and apologies to those who enjoy out of date predictions for a race that's already happened but like Kimi Raikkonen I managed to miss the start. But all the usual in depth post race analysis and swear words still happen so that's something. And the recorder was still on as the Mercedes tyre pressure story began to develop, that would almost count as an exclusive if this was a live show. But it isn't. It's a Pubcast. Enjoy it! @formulapubscast www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk

This isn't any other race track that causes controversial punctures....This is Spa-tyre! Before the race the new start system was the talk of the pub, after it was all Vettel's rage on his last-gasp puncture that robbed him of a podium. Listen to this one not just to hear who in Birmingham's Apres Bar has actually visited the Spa track, but also for more F1 fan pretending they're not an F1 fan type situation and how that throws me, your easily confused presenter. And also I think....Lewis won. Yeah, that happened. Frivolity aside, this podcast is dedicated to British Indycar driver Justin Wilson who lost his life at the Pocono raceway a few hours after this podcast was recorded. He was a brilliant racing driver and continued being an enormous gentleman in death as he was in life by being an organ donor and saving 6 lives. RIP Justin Wilson @formulapubscast

Isn't Formula 1 a lot more entertaining when everyone drives badly? After a bit of an enforced break, the Pubcast roars back into form with a pub full of excited Formula 1 fans who have one of the races of the season to remark upon and react to. The banter levels are set to their highest setting with such gems as Nico Bottas and Kimi Massa being commented upon as well as the other frantic developments during a frenetic Hungarian Grand Prix Though since this is the first Pubcast since the sad news was announced of the Death of Jules Bianchi a sombre atmosphere is hanging over the pub at the beginning, sadly the race was just too crazy for us to remember to sign off with the Bianchi tribute we intended to. All our thoughts are with the Bianchi family and friends of Jules during this difficult time. #forzajules @formulapubscast www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk

The Canadian Grand Prix, a great event and a great time of day to watch a race for European viewers. HOWEVER not that great for a podcast based in a Motorsport In Pubs event where people are literally putting coats on and making their way towards the door as the chequered flag falls. So we may be setting a world record for the shortest Pub based reacting to a Formula 1 race podcast ever, but we still have time to NOT talk about the fallout from Monaco, worry if my bag is missing (UPDATE: Bag was found post-Podcast) and not reference some man on a bike doing something for an hour that was happening at the same time. Warning: Podcast contains one attempt at a joke. We'll see how that goes www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out how you can join in the fun at a location near you @formulapubscast to ask me how my bag is/congratulate me on my one joke.

Does this need any introducing? You already know the big talking point and you are here because you want to hear people's reactions to it, right? Mercedes dun goofed and people had their say about it. Also Max looked good for a bit, then he dun goofed too, setting off a chain reaction that would change the face of the Monaco GP and ensure it was talked about for a very long time. Sadly, not because it was a great race, but once again it all comes down to action on pit lane. Next up is Canada, we all like that one, so positivity will return to the sport then, with any luck! www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk @formulapubscast

A race won by Nico Rosberg. A race badly started by Lewis Hamilton. A race that took place on someone's birthday. A race badly predicted by someone called Tim These are the things that happened during the 2015 Spanish GP No-one can deny that some things actually happened during the race. Or that there was a race. There was definitely a race. This is the pubcast for the race that happened. Also Grosjean went around the outside of Kvyat. That was a good bit. Yeah. Tweet us as ever @formulapubscast And come to a motorsport in pubs location for the Monaco GP! THATS A GOOD ONE ISN'T IT! www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out where near you is showing F1 or indeed even Moto Gp if you like all that 2 wheeled malarky. See you for Monaco!

Finally, Formula 1 returns to a sensible start time, which means the Formula Pubscast returns in Earnest. Sadly the city of Earnest does not hold a grand prix so instead it returns to the Apres Bar in Birmingham to document the fan reaction to the 2015 Bahrain Grand Prix We had to fight against a very local and for some stupid reason important football match going on downstairs, so even a few of the regulars ducked out immediately after the finish. We still managed to hear from Big Mac's big Strategy call and Mr Rally Co Driver man on his best crashes he suffered during his rallying career while not in the car. And none of us were secretly watching the British Touring Car meeting from Donington on our Tablets which was stupidly scheduled to clash with the grand prix. No, none of us. And anyone who says we were is LYING Another good win for Lewis, lets see if anyone can catch him as the F1 circus returns to its European homeland for the Spanish Grand Prix on May 10th!

INFO COMMENTS Meet the new F1 season, same as the old F1 season....almost! A new season kicks off as it usually does on the Formula Pubscast, down at the Motorsport In Pubs event for the Australian Grand Prix....at 5am! Lots of passionate, hardcore fans managed to crawl out of their warm beds to fuel their racing passion and see in the first race of the season, so obviously it was the perfect opportunity to get sluggish and drowsy opinions before people's brains woke up properly! Lewis Won, Mclaren faltered, Lotus crashed, other stuff happened and even Arnold Schwarzenegger turned up...were we dreaming? Only one way to find out....listen!!

-------------------Due to extra time merited by the championship finale, the Pubscast has had to be split into two parts. This is PART TWO-Post Race reaction--------------- For the title deciding final race of the season we saw the biggest crowd of the year descend on Birmingham's Apres Bar to enjoy the race and either celebrate or commiserate with their fellow fans depending on their allegiance. To capture this special experience, we gave the Pubscast special permission to overrun, start earlier and finish later to cram in all the reactions and views of Lewis Hamilton's title decider, and yet still had time to talk Bernie's views on F1, Alonso's continual contract soap opera and what sadly seemed like Alonso's final race. But as ever, no written description of the Pubcast can really sum up the knock about, off the cuff, random waffle of Paul the Pubcaster and his cast of Opinionated pub-based Formula One fans, it hasn't changed all season so you know what you're getting by now! Thanks to everyone who attended Motorsport In Pubs events over 2014 and especially those who put up with being bothered a random idiot with a podcast machine interrupting their lunch.

-----------Special Extra Long Pubcast is too long for Itunes to upload in 1 long part, so here is the first part, the PRE-RACE opinions.------------------------ For the title deciding final race of the season we saw the biggest crowd of the year descend on Birmingham's Apres Bar to enjoy the race and either celebrate or commiserate with their fellow fans depending on their allegiance.

Circuit of the Analysis. 8pm at night, what a splendid time to hold a Grand Prix, and a lovely time to watch it down the pub with a crowd of enthusiastic fans (and even a couple of newbies!) The fans down the Motorsport In Pubs' Birmingham venue of Bar Apres were treated to a race chock full of overtaking and even an appearance of the almost-mythical safety car to discuss and opine about. This also led to new fans being taught about the sport and experienced medical doctors psycho-analysing our championship protagonists. It all happens down the pub! Next up, the fantastic event that is the Brazilian GP

A new Frontier for Formula 1. Perhaps we wish it hadn't bothered. A race that seemingly had no talking points generated a lot of discussion down at the Motorsport In Pubs Event in Birmingham. Yes, it was the first Russian GP, racing under a cloud after the terrible accident that befell Jules Bianchi at the Japanese Gp, so after a subdued beginning where the pubcasters shared their thoughts on the "other JB" they eventually managed to move on in his honour as F1 started #racingforjules Well, we were #podcastingforjules too The Russian GP will not be remembered as a classic, but due to a lot of lively debate and interesting, sweary discussion at the Apres Bar, perhaps this Pubcast might.... Next up we're off to America. head to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out how you can join in the fun and watch a race among fellow friendly fans! @formulapubscast

The Japanese Grand Prix 2014 will probably be remembered for all the wrong reasons, but before the terrible circumstances of the end of the race, there was a decent race happening. Recorded before and in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese Grand Prix, the Pubscast finds its host Paul Hadsley in absentia, leaving regular contributors Chris Woods and Rachel Simmonite to take over the reigns for a grand prix that looked like it wouldn't happen. Then did. Then, in a way, we all kind of wish didn't. As stated, this was recorded before the magnitude of the Jules Bianchi situation was known so please do not feel are making light of a terrible moment in the F1 season, however it was felt to be important that the podcast was aired to really capture that unsure moment before the magnitude of the Bianchi crash dawned on us all. All of us at Motorsport In Pubs and the Formula Pubscast wish Jules Bianchi and his family the best possible wishes at this time and we all hope Jules recovers fully to race again soon. The Pubscast will be back at full strength for Sochi where we hope we will return with better news for Jules Bianchi.

What a great, action packed, drama filled....green flag lap! The 2014 Singapore GP could not be considered a classic, but it was crucially important for the world title race. Birmingham's Apres Bar was filled with excited Formula One fans at the Motorsport In Pubs event ready to react to the troubles suffered by Nico Rosberg and whatever else happened in Marina Bay. Whatever they were. Also listen out for a special mid-race break during the safety Car period. One off or a regular feature for all...hm, well F1 rarely puts out the Safety Car, so probably just a one off. Next up. Japan. Probably no Pubcast for that, sorry. You can still attend that race in the morning hours by heading to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk and finding out what venue is showing the race close to you. As far as the world championship goes: game on!

After the white heat of rivalry bubbled over at Spa, it was nice to get back to proper wheel to wheel motor racing around the legendary Monza racetrack in Italy. This week's episode of the Formula Pubscast contains all the reaction you need to a fantastic Italian Grand Prix Forget your Damon Hill or David Coulthard in depth analysis, we have the men and women down the pub instead! Banter, opinion and even dare I say it, a few laughs while the race is taking place. If you'd like to join us at Birmingham's Apres Bar for all the races then find us on www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk or you can tweet the podcast at @formulapubscast Singapore next, F1 2014 just keeps on getting better!

Does this one need any describing at all? It's "the one with the Mercedes incident" That'll do, right? The Pubcasters were ready as ever to react to the Belgian Grand prix at Bar Aprés in Birmingham, but I don't think anyone was ready for what took place on lap 2 Also listen out for the person who least wanted to talk on the podcast ever. Awkward city. Couldn't escape the car crash of an interview, had to keep digging! Want to come join us and react to a race in person? www.motorsporinpubs.co.uk is where you need to head Or tweet @formulapubscast to get your thoughts aired on the show! To monza then, I'm sure all of this kerfuffle will have died down by then..right...RIGHT?

It rained! It actually rained!! The Hungarian Grand Prix of the ages is now over and finding merely one or two moments of highlights amid such constantly exciting racing is an impossible task. It was as close to motor racing perfection as we're likely to ever get. And thankfully there was a PACKED Apres Bar in Birmingham City Centre full of loudly opinionated fans to discuss the many talking points this race transpired. Another fan-favourite from Danny-Ric, who seemingly no-one has a bad word to say about. Back to front action from Lewis who had to fight for every lap it seemed. Alonso dragging his Ferrari further than it'd gone so far this season. Crashes, passes, safety cars, strategy, controversy....and they say F1 needs spicing up? @formulapubscast Recorded at Motorsport In Pubs Birmingham www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk

So much to talk about!! This year's German GP featured a huge amount of talking points, which is fortunate for us because this podcast is all talk. Welcome to the Formula Pubscast for Germany 2014 as the F1 nuts down at Birmingham's apres bar witnessed and reacted to another one of those races that make you proud to be an F1 fan. Featured in this episode are Peter's one F1 stat he trots out every few weeks, Button spotting a surprise appearance from head of Downforce Radio, Jake Sanson, and I think even the censorship Bully makes an appearance in there somewhere. You can always tweet to @formulapubscast if you want to interact or even enquire how you can appear on the pubscast. Or why not log on to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out which location near you is showing you the race and let you sample such a great atmosphere yourself. Hungary follows only 7 days after the race, can it be this good again?

What a difference a race makes! No negatively needed this time, wall to wall action leads to wall to wall positivity down at the Birmingham location of Motorsport In Pubs. Sadly most of the regulars who opine their views on the pubcast were actually at Silverstone sweeping up Kimi Raikkonen's mess, but there was enough of us at the Apres Bar to react to an amazing, 1980s style old school race with it's start crash, red flag, sparks, and traditional battling with cars with differences in straight line power vs cornering speed. Proper racing! Championship starts here, see you in 2 weeks for Hockenheim!

Warning: The views and opinions expressed in this Pubscast may be WRONG. They represent one internet idiot with a podcasting device and not F1 fans as a whole. Yes, I've been told. After a qualifying order that promised so much, the Austrian GP ended up fizzling out quite early on leaving the fans down the Motorsport In Pubs event trying to make the best of it. OR were they actually enjoying it secretly, but didn't want to say? Featuring: the best F1 joke you'll hear all Podcast. And then another one. Also a bit of chat on the proposals for the ridiculous new rules coming into the sport next season. And no football. Woooooh. As ever, you can find your local motorsport in pubs location so you too can debate how exciting or not F1 races are with your fellow fans. Log onto www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk Or you can tweet the pubscast at @formulapubscast. Silverstone Next: That's always good, right?

Sometimes...things don't quite go as expected do they? A thrilling Canadian Grand Prix was met with hysteria and bafflement down the MotorsportInPubs location in Birmingham, listen for the most surprised fans opinions you're going to hear in a very long time! Because sometimes the real world intrudes on the pubscast, this particular episode has a different flavour. As your host and question-asker had a train to catch, he started the pubscast slightly earlier than usual during the final laps of the race. This led to all the late race developments being caught live as he pretended he could commentate and still make sense of the wild action before him and the rest of the pubscast crowd. Lets listen in to find out how that went down! The usual plugs are still relevant, you can get in on live race experiences like this by logging on to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk Or you can listen to the pubscast in Itunes if you prefer, as well as broadcast on www.downforce-radio.co.uk Lets hope the next race in Austria can be as eventful as the Canadian GP. See you there! P.S The train WAS made with about 2 mins to spare. Thought you'd all want to know ;)

Bonus Formula Pubcast fun taking place in the immediate aftermath of the Monaco GP during the build up to the Indianapolis 500. F1 fans constantly wonder how americans view their most European of sports, well how would a pub-full of F1 fans view that most American of races: The Indy 500 Sadly due to trains leaving and general late night travel issues, the full reactions could not be documented at the end of the race, but dedicated Indy500 fans and new fans alike were there to give the biggest race in America (quiet, NASCAR fans, it still is ;) ) a viewing. Opinions are varied, knowledge is not important, we're all part of a greater motorsport world than Mr Ecclestone would have us believe so lets enjoy this extra slice of F-pbs-ca fun in preparation for the next proper episode for the Canadian GP

The Jewel in F1's crown, or when it comes to team Mercedes, the Dual in F1's crown. It's Monaco time! The first part of a special 2-part Formula Pubscast sees the biggest crowd of the season so far descend on the MotorsportInPubs event to banter, opine and even introduce some #f1smut to proceedings. Before the race, there was only ONE question to ask. Afterwards, there were many. Did Nico Fake it in qualifying? Did Lewis in the race? Does anyone begrudge Marussia their points? Will anyone be able to slow Korrie's fast talking down? And will Paul be able to remember the new name of his own event and Podcast any time soon? All these questions, and a lot more you probably haven't thought of, will be answered in this edition of the Formula Pubscast. Part 2 featuring a selection of F1 fans viewing the Indy 500 for the first time will be up next. Do view our website at www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk or download the pubcast via itunes. And if you would like to ask any of these fools a question, hit up @formulapubscast on twitter. Also give www.downforce-radio a listen, they're good. If you like anything in this world of motorsport, it'll probably be there. Anything else? No? OK! See you for Canada!

The Pubscast officially becomes Formula Pubscast, because: reasons. However, the content is pretty much unchanged, so don't worry about the packaging, we still have a hugely opinionated and entertaining group of fans gathered to watch the Spanish Grand Prix, organised by Motorsportinpubs. And the finish in spain was a little bit like Bahrain, a slow start built up into a thrilling climax, a little bit like a massage. Wait, I didn't say that. Listen out for some new guests, host Paul's ONE joke repeated 5 times to different attendees and Spanish Manish. Also a lot was said on the performances of Lewis and Nico, Vettel's climb through the field, the TV director deciding to cut to Rosberg's girlfriend at a crucial moment and of course a few laughs at Pastor Maldonaldo's expense. Well, he brings it on himself! If you'd like to join in the fun, head to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out where you can watch a Grand Prix of various kinds, 2 and 4 wheels along with other races on down your local. Tweet us at @formulapubscast if you have anything to ask or comment on. PLEAAAAASE!!! Ha ha ha. Seriously though, do give us a tweet. See you in 2 weeks time for Monaco!

A race for the ages, what a spectacle and what an atmosphere to enjoy down the pub! One of the most combative and exciting Grand Prix in many a year (...at Bahrain? What are the chances?) leads to a pumped up room full of fans eager to share in the joy of a barnstorming Bahrain beauty! Luckily the fans are more than willing to take the lead with the banter and questioning as your host Paul Hadsley's brain is reduced to jelly after those buckets of adrenaline flooded through his system. 2 weeks now until China. Admit it, you're already logging on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out where you can watch it live with your fellow fan aren't you?

Race 2 for 2014 and a the F1InPubs community are in fine form to espouse on penalties for Kimi, team orders for Felipe and Daniel Riccardo's own personal cloud of bad luck. AND WHERE WAS THIS PROMISED RAIN? Still waiting! The usual housekeeping applies, if you like the pubcast tweet us @f1inpubscast If you like the idea of watching F1 with a friendly group of fellow fans, check the website www.f1inpubs.co.uk OR you can download the app, new for 2014. Look in your app store, all devices should be supported by now. Only one week until Bahrain, what will a night race bring us?

2014 begins, 40+ F1 fans in a pub at 6am to opine and react to the first Grand Prix of the season, what could go wrong? After the most fascinating off-season in living memory, the new rules threw up many questions about the competitive order of the F1 field, questions that perhaps the first GP didn't answer fully. But that doesn't matter for our F1InPubs attendees, who once again packed into Birmingham's Apres Bar to enjoy the race with each other, all those people heading to a pub at 6am to get their latest fix eh? Thank goodness coffee seemed to be the strongest substance they were buzzing on! The regulars are dotted around amid fans old and new, and if the first event of 2014 is to go by, both F1 itself and the F1InPubs events are off to a great start. And since I mangled all the details in the actual podcast, thanks to Downforce Radio for taking us under their wing for 2014! www.downforce-radio.co.uk Worth a look. And a listen. So one race in the books, you should by now already be heading to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to work out how to join in the fun for round 2: Malaysia . (Keep an ear out for our new voice over guy too, not quite Sir Patrick Stewart on the BBCF1 coverage but, well, he's cheap ;) )

You recognise that name! Over the course of the Autosport International weekend F1InPubs founder Kris Brown was fortunate to be granted some time with Classic Team Lotus head and "son of Colin", Clive Chapman. They talk about the state of F1 and Team Lotus, Classic and Modern, as well as a few other stories that might not have ended up in the F1 history books! www.f1inpubs.co.uk

An F1Inpubscast? In JANUARY? Yes! We're at the Autosport International show this weekend (it's at the NEC in Birmingham, COME!) and we are fortunate enough to catch up with some F1 and Motorsport luminaries over the course of the event. Our first chat is in conjunction with The Bridge Radio and features broadcasting legend Steve Rider, who gives his thoughts on his own personal career and the state of F1 and BTCC through the ages, including his thoughts on modern F1. Keep an ear out for more podcasts over the weekend and if you're around the NEC by all means come and join us milling around and especially at our event on Saturday evening, more info at www.f1inpubs.co.uk

As the old Destruction Derby game on the PS1 used to say: "It's the last race of the seasonnnnnnn" And what a race it was. Like the 2013 in a nutshell, it couldn't quite live up to the anticipation. But while the race might not have delivered on track, the fans certainly packed into the Apres Bar in Birmingham to give their opinions on the race and also their personal high and low points of their season of F1 watching. Also keep listening right to the end of the Pubcast for some exclusive F1InPubs news. So that's it for 2013 then. Thanks to all of you for listening to the Pubscast and hopefully we'll be back in 2014. Keep an eye out on the F1InPubs website (www.f1inpubs.co.uk) for all the off-season gossip and news about how F1InPubs itself will be shaping up for the next season of viewing F1 Action down your local. Any comments or questions, or if you'd like to tweet us your own personal high and low points of the season, use the hashtag #f1inpubs or tweet @f1inpubscast Have as good an off-season as possible and we'll see you down the pub in 2014! *PICTURE* This is what happened to my "Lucky" @lotusf1team deoderant after its use caused Romain Grosjean to retire very early on. TO THE BIN WITH YOU, CURSED THING!

The best you can say about the Abu-Dhabi GP 2013 was that it was an above-average race, action wise. The worst that you could say about the 2013 Abu-Dhabi Pubscast is that it was entertaining if nothing else! Paul Hadsley and his new understudy "Jamie Oliver" Jamie Davies captured all the opinions and banter of a great crowd of F1 fans down at the Apres Bar in Birmingham, listen to all the fun down the pub here! 2 weeks time we head into the final pair of races with the American GP. If you want to watch it down the pub in YOUR area, head to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out what pub closest to you is showing the race. @F1InPubsCast

Hi, welcome to a special bonus F1InPubscast. My name is Paul Hadsley and I'll be occupying your left ear for this podcast! I, along with Kris Brown, head honcho of F1Inpubs, have brought along some special guests (and they will be occupying your right ear!) to talk about an F1 Film they have been producing. It's called "One" and it details the changes in the sport from the 60s era up to the modern day, focusing specifically on safety and how that has developed over the years. It's a lot more exciting than I make it sound here, I promise, if you don't believe me, view the trailer for it and see how many amazing interviews they have managed to pull off: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGyg9p4pP…S21suy5NiEP_SCj4Z So, to that end, Kris and I talked to the producers Michael Shevloff and Paul Crowderville about their film and what you can expect from it, while also throwing in questions about the state of current F1 and a few F1InPubs classics. Enjoy! p.s. this is their facebook for those interested: www.facebook.com/1thefilm?fref=ts

Well, we had fun! A less than enthralling race led, as ever to banter and excitement down the pub. Listen this week for "tales from Singapore" since it seems a lot of people in the room had visited this race in previous seasons. Also "Mr X" appears to give us the inside news from Mercedes for both this year and their development for 2014. Mr X did debut at Monza to great fanfare but sadly that podcast was lost. We suspect sabotage on behalf of Mr X's employers! All this and MORE, will definitely make you think the Singapore GP wasn't as bad as it seemed. Listen also for my panicing about if it's worth getting up for Korea if I'm going to be sitting all on my own.... Comments as ever to @f1inpubscast about the Podcast or @f1inpubs if you'd like to blah blah national pub watching blah blah (you know the drill by now ;-) ) www.f1inpubs.co.uk

Remember this? This whole F1 Pubcasting malarky? Been a while hasn't it? As for the race: Dis-spa-pointing or Belg-yawn? Franc-bore-hamps? I'll stop that now, but it was indeed a shame that after such a long gap, F1 returned to put on a Belgian GP that didn't live up to our expectations. But no matter, as the F1InPubs mantra goes, the duller the race the more time we have to mess around in the pub and that is reflected in this race's Pubscast as Paul Hadsley talks to the regulars and the newbies and tries to cheer them up after a disappointing race. As ever you can join in the fun of the Pubscast by going to www.f1inpubs.co.uk and finding out which pub in your area is showing the race, or indeed tweeting with the hashtag #f1inpubs during the race. Any other comments on what you hear, tweet @f1inpubscast Next race: Monza. Onwards and upwards! *Update* Apparently the intro disappeared somewhere....oh well, I'm sure you won't be crying over it. If anyone feels short changed by their lack of Intro I'm willing to release it separately for adding on to the start yourself, potentially fussy people! :-p

An exciting race in Hungary? Surely not! As ever lots to talk about in the Pubcast for Hungary, any time there's a contender for pass of the season AND contentious penalties then it is certain to generate debate with the regulars (and newbies!) at F1inpubs Birmingham Listen also for only the second ever bleep needed from an irate Grosjean and Button fan! If you'd like to come down and join in the fun of F1InPubs in your area, log on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk or follow @f1inpubscast for news of the Pubscast!

The F1 world left Silverstone amid a cloud of controversy but, appropriately enough, things move on fast in the world of F1 The story this weekend at the Nurburgring, predictably enough, was who could take the fight to Sebasiten Vettel, and the answer wasn't the team anyone expected. The usual banter, comedy and teasing are a big feature this week and we occasionally talk about the race in its immediate aftermath too! www.f1inpubs.co.uk for all your needs of race watching amid a friendly bunch of fellow fans. And the next race is Hungary. Might as well come and have a chat during that one as nothing will probably happen on track ;-) @f1inpubs @f1inpubscast

F1 Fans in a pub watching the 2013 British GP....you know what the subject of discussion is going to be! Tyres were certainly the big talking point once again this week but an eclectic array of guests had an eclectic array of topics to discuss too, so it's not all tyre talk. Listen out too for rising passions resulting in the F1InPubscast's first ever bleep over someone swearing. Tsk Tsk. 1 week's time we hit the Nurburgring to do it all again, and hopefully the tyre picture will be a lot clearer by then. Log on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out where you can join in the fun of the podcast or just find a pub in your area that is showing the race.

Marussia F1's Graeme Lowdon talks the hot topic of the British Grand Prix Weekend: Tyres, and what this means for Pirelli, his team and the future of F1. Apologies for the wind, it's a former airfield though, not much can be done about it!

Loutus' Eric Boullier talks to the F1InPubscast and is less critical of the Pirelli situation than most in the F1 Paddock. He talked to @F1InPubs Kris Brown after the British GP 2013

BBCF1's Technical Analyst Gary Anderson tells the F1InPubscast that the Kerbs were to blame for the tyre issues at Silverstone, not Pirelli themselves. He was Talking to Kris Brown from @f1inpubs after the British Grand Prix 2013

Actor and Petrolhead Liam Cunningham plays Davos Seaworth in a little known TV show called Game of Thrones, have you heard of it? He also loves his racing so was at Silverstone at the invitation of Bernie Ecclestone himself to soak up the atmosphere and also talk to the F1InPubscast about his history with the sport and who he tips for British GP victory. As well as...you know, some Games of Thrones stuff. Whatever. ;-)

Pastor Maldanado of Williams sits down with Kris Brown of the F1InPubscast to reveal how he's only looking forwards for tomorrow's British Grand Prix and exactly why he has his eye on Ferrari P.S. Sensational headline alert, Ferrari is a drink in this context. Ha! Gotcha!

From front of the grid heroics in Montreal to not even making it out of first qualifying at Silverstone, the life of an F1 rookie is one of ups and downs, especially if your surname is making you a cult figure on twitter. F1InPubs Kris Brown sits down with BOTTAS! after Qualifying for the British Grand Prix to talk his performance, Williams anniversary and the trials and tribulations of his rookie season.

Speaking in the break between practice sessions before Felipe smashed up his precious Ferrari, F1inPubscast's Kris Brown found voice of a thousand team radio messages, Rob Smedley in jovial mood in the paddock as he talked about coming home to Silverstone while working for an Italian team. Keep it at www.f1inpubs.co.uk for more interviews and features from Silverstone as well as events at a pub near you if you're not lucky enough to be at the track like some!

It's the British Grand Prix time, and the F1InPubscast would be stupid not to take advantage of the F1 world being on our doorstep! So, to this end we sent head honcho of the F1inPubs operation himself, Kris Brown, down to Silverstone to see who he could grab for a chat. And you know anything with the "F1InPubs" branding isn't going to be your usual F1 PR-speak-fest! How much IS the price of Milk, Geido? Keep listening for more over the Weekend, or if you aren't lucky enough to be heading to Silverstone, why not search for other groups of like minded fans in YOUR city by looking for our events on our website: www.f1inpubs.co.uk Keep an eye out on our twitter feeds for more information as they happen too: @f1inpubs and @f1inpubscast
