The Malaysia GP Podcast

NEWS STORY

The Malaysian Grand Prix has come and gone for another year leaving the Pitpass team to bicker, argue and generally disagree with each other in its wake.

And for a time they do, there are literally seconds of conversation about the Sepang event before resident crack-pot theorist Glen 'Crompo' Crompton hijacks the show.

It starts off well enough, editor Chris Balfe briefly touching on the new live timing app while the patriotic partisan pair, Crompo and Mat Coch, sing the praises of countryman Daniel Ricciardo and his stellar start to 2014.

The discuss the (endless) penalties meted out to Ricciardo, Balfe suggesting the 10-place grid penalty for Bahrain reminds him of the classis line from Carry on Cleo... "infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me". They discuss, team orders at Williams and why isn’t Nico Hulkenberg driving for one of the big teams before quickly realising that in many ways there was very little left - in terms of the 'racing' to talk about.

But from there the show quickly descends in to anarchy with Crompo suggesting the sport has not only lost its way, but is without a map to find its way back. 2014, the team declare appears to already be becoming a season of false promises at the hands of a selfish corporate machine.

However, in a Pitpass first the podcast team wants to hear from you. Balfe, Crompo and Coch realise they have an opinion, but so do you, and they want to hear it. They want to know what you think is wrong with the sport, if anything, and what you think is right with it. They want to know how F1 can strengthen your passion for the sport, or what it's doing that pushes you away.

Share your thoughts and have your voice heard; the team will look to read some of the best on a forthcoming podcast... indeed, we may well select a few to join us in a forthcoming podcast.
