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

Formula Pubcast: Monaco 2018 at Hennessey's in Digbeth, Birmingham

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.

Formula Pubcast 2018: (Re)Intro-Cast (Pre Monaco)

"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.

Formula Pubscast 15; Abu Dha-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.

Formula Pubscast 15; USGP; Lewis champions the storm

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

Singapore 2015; Fools on track

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

Formula Pubscast; Monza 2015; Under Pressure

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

Formula Pubscast; Belgium 2015; This is Spa-Tyre!

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

Formula Pubscast; Hungary 2015; Thrill-ring!

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.

Formula Pubscast; Canada 2015: Shorter than Mclaren's Race

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

Formula Pubscast Monaco 2015; Max Attack!

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!

Formula Pubscast Spain 2015; It happened

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!

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!!

Formula Pubscast 2015; Rise of the Machines

-------------------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. If you'd like to join in the fun in 2015, you can head to our website and find out what location close to you is showing the races. www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk And a BIG thanks to downforce radio for broadcasting this stupid little comedy podcast thing on their illustrious radio station, give them a listen when you have the chance for more Motorsport podcasts and radio shows www.downforce-radio.co.uk Listen especially in december for the Motorsport In Pubs awards ceremony, you can vote for your favourite F1 Driver, Moto GP Rider and even your favourite pub showing the races in 2014.
