 Rd 6, Monaco | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 19:17

Following a processional race that had little to talk about the Pitpass team had to be forcedly removed from the studio this week as they dissected all the latest happenings in Formula One. Editor Chris Balfe is back to share his thoughts on the situation at Mercedes while Glen Crompton and Mat Coch continue to argue amongst themselves. Running slightly longer this time at almost twenty minutes the trio once again pass their differing opinions over the sport and debate it out amongst themselves. With Coch being wrong about pretty much all of it.

 Rd 5, Spain | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:44

After a Spanish Grand Prix that promised so much but, according to Glen Crompton and Mat Coch, delivered so many the antipodean pair were let lose in the Pitpass studio for the latest podcast. From Ferrari to Lotus, Hamilton to Vettel, the duo cover a lot of ground in just fifteen minutes as they recap the first European race of the season.

 Rd 4, China | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:29

Nothing fires the Pitpass team up like a dull race, making this episode jam packed with outrage, rants and laughs. Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch return for another post-race podcast in which they manage to avoid talking about the race much at all and instead focus on the important things, like a possible job opportunity for Chris at Red Bull and whether Bernie's staff consists solely lawyers. Indeed lawyers get a fair grilling from the team, mostly by Crompo. There are trademarks and lawsuits and regulations, indeed Editor Balfe suggests there are so many lawyers involved in the sport-which-cannot-be-named that they deserve their own garage... Marco Mattiaci, the new boss at Ferrari, may be in his first week with the team but despite the sun glasses does not manage the escape the eagle eyed Balfe who predicts dire times ahead for the Italian marque. But at least the show finishes on schedule, unlike the Chinese Grand Prix. You didn't think we'd let that one go, did you?

 Rd 3, Bahrain | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:59

The guys are back after a healthy serve of humble pie following the Bahrain Grand Prix. Hot on the heels of the Malaysian podcast, where the trio of Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch lamented everything that was wrong with the sport they had to admit they all enjoyed the race in Bahrain. It was the best race he's ever seen, claimed Crompo, especially the bit where both Mercedes drivers had radio problems, in what he described as an action packed race that left those with a weak bladder with a difficult decision.

 Rd 2, Malaysia | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:27

The challenge has been made; the Pitpass team want to hear what YOU think about Formula One in 2014. Chris Balfe and Crompo are once again in the studio with Mat Coch pouring over the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend as Crompo has an epiphany, hijacking the show entirely. Briefly the trio stick to the plan, which was to discuss the Malaysian Grand Prix, but are soon busy pulling Formula One apart piece by piece as they decide what is and isn't working. But it doesn't stop there; the team wants to hear from you! Download the podcast, hear what the team think and then share your opinion.

 Rd 1, Australia | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:51

The start of the new season also marked the start of a new era in Formula One. The Pitpass team of Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and host Mat Coch take a look at the opening race of the year and pick out some of the interesting stories behind the headlines.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 19, Brazil | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:54

With the season now over the Pitpass trio of Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch once again do their best to not talk about the race, succeeding for the most part. Instead Coch manages to slip in some less than subtle product placement for which both Balfe and Crompo berate him, while the latter performs a swift about face over Lewis Hamilton.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 18, United States | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:58

Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch return to chew over the United States Grand Prix, and for once actuall talk about a race, unanimously agreeing it was rather dull. Crompo is one again conspiracy theory-less but does make a bold call on Lewis Hamilton, while Coch is unusually feisty.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 17, Abu Dhabi | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:47

Felipe Massa, Paul Di Resta and Adrian Sutil impress the team which once again does its best not to talk about the race they're meant to be talking about. Instead they talk about the future of the GP2 champion, Lotus' PR department and get jealous about the speed with which Mark Webber can grow a beard.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 16, India | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:29

A fourth consecutive title elevated Sebastian Vettel in to an exclusive club in India, but Glen Crompton and Mat Coch were more interested in the tyres. Crompo and Coch disagree on the Pirelli issue while looking towards the end of the year. A confused Crompo also scratches his head trying to work out just who is performing well.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 15, Japan | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:05

Dedicated to Maria de Villota, the Pitpass team are back trying hard not to talk about a Japanese Grand Prix they considered pretty dull. Crompo doesn't quite have a conspiracy but tries hard none the less while Chris Balfe laments the corporate control of the sport, which he feels detracts from its appeal.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 14, Korea | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:52

It may have been Sebastian Vettel's fourth win on the trot but the Pitpass team were more focussed on Sergio Perez and Mark Webber to really notice. A dramatic tyre failure for Perez got both Chris Balfe and Glen Crompton riled up while there is special mention too for Nico Hulkenberg and Paul Di Resta, with a notable mention for Adrian Sutil in what was a calamitous weekend for Force India. Of course the guys couldn't let the appearance of a rogue fire marshals car pass uncommented, Crompo questioning whether Webber would have had more luck if the fire truck had been painted red instead of silver.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 13, Singapore | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 15:07

After a dominant drive by Sebastian Vettel to win in Singapore Chris Balfe and Mat Coch discuss the race and all its major talking points including Kimi Raikkonen's bad back, Sebastian's podium reception and shed some light on the proposed race in New Jersey for 2014.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 12, Italy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:36

With the Italian Grand Prix run and won the Pitpass team dissect the race and the big stories coming out of the Autodromo Nationale Monza including the unfolding Ferrari saga involving Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

 Grand Prix Review: Rd 10, Hungary | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:52

At the mid-point of the season Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch converge to review the Hungarian Grand Prix. They assess the good and the bad while handing out the second Van der Garde Award for the most inept event of the weekend.
