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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

As ever this podcast features a crowd of people watching the F1 races at the Apres Bar in the centre of Birmingham, and this race they were treated to a thoroughly entertaining race at the jewel of the crown of the F1 calender.
The race was full of drama and excitement, slightly too much drama as far as the pubcast was concerned as the red flag delay meant the large crowd of people around the pub quickly dissipated as soon as the chequred flag flew.

Clever people will have already worked out the comparison between the Chinese GP and an inverse sandwich, it was a race that had a race's worth of excitement within the first 20 laps, then calmed down into a procession for the next 20 laps before Vettel changed his tyres and ensured a thrilling finish right to...2013-04-1438 minFormula PubscastF1InPubscast 2013 Malaysia: Weatherless storm on trackA race that will live on in infamy for quite a while; the Malaysian GP started wet, finished dry but had a Red Bull created storm that engulfed the whole sport after the finish of the race.
