Formula Pubscast

In F1 circles the word epic is perhaps overused, but no F1 fan would be accused of overstatement if they used that word to describe the crazy Brazilian Grand Prix. So what a perfect Grand Prix to bring you the best Pubcast yet from the F1inBrum venue at the Apres Bar that had a bit of everything from Codemasters turning up to give us a hands on trial of their latest F1 titles to crows of Vettel and Alonso fans nervous about their respective drivers chances in the tense championship decider as well as the head of F1inPubs himself Kris Brown handing out the hopefully first annual F1InPubs awards. To cover all of this fully the podcast has been split up into two parts, with this part dealing with more a flavour of the event before the race itself including my very own laps of F12012 as I battled to get the fastest time of the day as well as a chat with Vicky about her experiences at the Circuit of the Americas for the US Grand Prix. Kris also talks to us about how F1inPubs has grown over the year and what 2013

Welcome to America. AND Welcome to Formula 1, America! A fantastic grand prix and brilliant win for Lewis Hamilton saw the Apres Bar come alive with reaction, even Manish got a bit cheeky in this one. Listen for Manish and Rachel duelling over who wants to be head sidekick, find out who missed the pass for the lead due to being in the toilet and keep on listening right to the end for exclusive news on the special end of season party for Brazil with a certain computer game company in attendance! Only one more race to go, sadly, but if you'd like to relive any previous Pubcast then you can do so on Itunes, (use the raw feed link) subscribe here: f1inpubs.jellycast.com See you for Brazil, get all the details on the podcast or at www.f1inpubs.co.uk

The race I'm sure you want to hear as much opinion from as possible, this is the kind of race that reminds us exactly WHY we're F1 fans in the first place. Drama aplenty, no-one (well, bar ONE) was short of opinion on the amazing developments that befell us during the Abu-Dhabi Grand Prix which led to another podcast with that key word, atmosphere. You don't get this kind of fun sitting at home and muttering or swearing along to the screen! It's certainly MUCH more fun to come here and mutter or swear at the F1InPubs podcast instead!

India wasn't greatest race by a long shot but instead of trying to talk it up, the fans at the F1InPubscast decided to entertain themselves with jokes, banter, stories and lens flares. Yes, that is a flashing....something in the picture, listen to the podcast to find out exactly what is going on! Also listen for more discussion about Vettel putting on hand on the championship crown, this race's Italian F1 phrase of the week and the amount of coffees needed to get through a race like India. Abu Dhabi in only 1 weeks time so get on over to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out how you can join in the fun at a location showing the race live near you. Or tweet @f1inpubs for the main account or @f1inpubscast for the podcast.

Better late than never, which applies to both my arrival time at the Apres for the F1InPubs Japanese GP Pubcast and the actual release date of said Pubcast. Being the hardcore Motorsport fan I am, I hadn't slept as I was up all night watching the Bathurst 1000 from Australia, meaning my performance this race was a little....frantic to say the least. Also I was late due to the first bus of the day not appearing, but its all good fun at the end of the day! But despite this being a shorter podcast than usual as a consequence, there is still a lot of F1 "meat" to this opinionated full English Breakfast. (Or should that be Japanese Breakfast? Probably not!) So, is Grosjen trying too hard at the starts? Has Hamilton given up? WIll Kobayashi still be in the sport next year, despite his performance? As usual, www.f1inpubs.co.uk for more information on how YOU can get down to one of our events. See you this weekend for Korea!

A big first corner crash! OK much more happened in this race than a first corner incident, there was some great overtaking, another side by side Eau Rouge moment (don't turn your back on the wall this time, DC!) and a great win for Jenson Button But since it was the first ever F1InPubscast startline shunt, we took the opportunity to fully analise the crash as it happened then give you an extended reaction to the replays as they were shown. So, basically we shouted "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! A lot then tried to blame any driver other than our personal favourites? Yes! Sounds like our crowd!" All this is on top of the normal excellent pre and post race banter so feel treated to a special podcast for a special race. Well done Jenson, now where have you been hiding since March?

SECOND PART From the preview and live discussion in Part 1, now we move to the post-Race Analysis in Part 2 All glory to Narain Karthikeyan and the Safety Car! The Singapore Grand Prix is traditionally the longest GP on the calender and 2012 proved no exception. Despite a slow start to the race it built to a great climax with many incidents to discuss, including: Are Schumachers reactions now too slow for the cut and thrust of F1? Did Felipe Massa REALLY mean to overtake like that, however amazing it was? How many personal pit stops can the viewers at Apres Bars fit into one race? And MANY more...

IN TWO PARTS. Long race, this one, leading to the longest Podcast so far to cram in all the talking points. This means this Itunes download comes in 2 parts. If you hate the faff of all that, you CAN hear it in one part on the F1InPubs website: www.f1inpubs.co.uk Talking points include: All glory to Narain Karthikeyan and the Safety Car! Despite a slow start to the race it built to a great climax with many incidents to discuss, Are Schumachers reactions now too slow for the cut and thrust of F1? Did Felipe Massa REALLY mean to overtake like that, however amazing it was? How many personal pit stops can the viewers at Apres Bars fit into one race? And don't you worry, THAT bit of the race that YOU want us to be talking about, well yes, THAT is in there too. Next up: 6am start for the Japanese GP. Should be fun! Log onto www.f1inpubs.co.uk to join us in our pajamas!

You know the drill by now, www.f1inpubs.co.uk kindly organises venues for F1 fans to gather and watch the races, you turn up to said venues and we, the Pubcast, document your reactions and opinions at said venues as the races happen. This time featuring the Girl with the Button cardboard cutout. Yes! It's a visual prop for an audio medium, that's just what happens on this ker-azay podcast of fun! *cough* In such a race that featured the latest episode of the Lewis Hamilton saga and also a contentious penalty decision after a familiar looking incident between Vettel and Alonso we're sure you probably want to hear people's opinions on these matters. Well, luckily enough there's plenty of that in this Pubcast too, as well as reaction to the feelgood-factor of Sergio Perez's result. Too much to read now, enough of this, get listening to the podcast and hit up www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out the closest pub to YOU that is broadcasting the race. See you for Singapore!

A special episode of the F1InPubscast ahead of the upcoming weekend in Spa as our reporter Manish Patel was lucky enough to be granted an interview with Sky Sports commentator David Croft As our modus operandi is good quality F1 Discussion in pubs, Crofty invited Manish to his local pub "The Bell" to discuss the F1 season so far, BBC Vs Sky and also his thoughts on the F1InPubs events as an idea. This is Part 1 of their lengthy chat, commentators aren't known for their ability to sum things up in one or two sentences, and quite right too because this is a conversation you won't want to end! Part 2 will be released tomorrow ahead of the Grand Prix in Spa. If you'd liked to be part of our podcast in Birmingham or just watch the races with like minded fans in a friendly atmosphere, log on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to see where the closest pub is in your area that is showing the race.

With most of the F1inpubs contingent down at Silverstone it was left for a skeleton crew to man the Podcast, which all things considered ended up being a pretty good turnout! Listen for Rachel, the substitute Manish desperately try to prove her worth as "New Manish" as well as present scathing opinion on the overtaking talents of regular discussion point Mr Pastor Maldonaldo Also, I find myself amid the ladies at one point and the famous "hello girls" line returns, which leaves us with the ultimate question: Is Romain Grosjen sexy? (Answers on a tweet please!) All this and more opinion on the British GP as it happened and its immediate aftermath. If you'd like to get involved with the f1inpubs events or even be a part of the podcast, log on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk and find out where the closest event is to you.

The Grand Prix of Canada 2012 was a nail biter right up until the chequered flag and this resulted in one of the best atmospheres at an F1InPubs Meet so far! Listen to the podcast for a small sampling of that Atmosphere and a bigger dollop of F1 fans who aren't shy with their opinions in the immediate aftermath of a Grand Prix, particularly one that featured a Lewis Hamilton victory! If you'd like to come down and be part of the great atmosphere at F1inPubs events (and maybe part of the podcast!) then log on to www.f1inpubs.co.uk to find out where near you is showing the races!
