A new Frontier for Formula 1. Perhaps we wish it hadn't bothered.

A race that seemingly had no talking points generated a lot of discussion down at the Motorsport In Pubs Event in Birmingham.

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 #racingforjulesWell, we were #podcastingforjules too

The Russian GP will not be remembered as a classic, but due to a lot of lively debate and interesting, sweary discussion at the Apres Bar, perhaps this Pubcast might....

Next up we're off to America. head to www.motorsportinpubs.co.uk to find out how you can join in the fun and watch a race among fellow friendly fans! @formulapubscast
