  • Italian GP 2015

  • Belgium 2015
    Following the Belgian Grand Prix the Pitpass team has gather to dissect the race in minute detail, coming to the abrupt conclusion that Lewis Hamilton could probably have won blindfolded.
    In an explosive episode Chris Balfe, Max Noble and Mat Coch are back in the studio and analyse every facet of the Belgian race, and beyond, and come up with some startling revelations.
    Coch for one suggests Sebastian Vettel should retire if he doesn't like the idea of a tyre failure, while Balfe suggests he should lodge a complaint with the high-effective driver's union, the GPDA. Coch is similarly unimpressed by Nico Rosberg's comments over Pirelli, and goes into bat for the tyre supplier in the face of current criticisms.
    Praise is heaped upon Romain Grosjean for his drive to third place while there's a collective raising of eyebrows over Valtteri Bottas' pit stop fiasco. Indeed, Coch must have got out of bed on the wrong side because, not happy with getting stuck into Vettel and Rosberg, he also has a go at Bottas.
    Noble endorses Ferrari's recent decision to retain Kimi Raikkonen and Balfe is in awe of Lewis Hamilton's ability to not only live the rock and roll lifestyle but also utterly dominate on track.
    There is also a plug or two for the supplier of Chris' plush new office chair, of which Noble and Coch are clearly envious and doing all they can to score one for themselves.

  • 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix
    Almost a week later than planned, thanks largely to Chris finding himself trapped in a room somewhere in the McLaren Technology Centre, the team delivers is report on the Hungarian Grand Prix.
    And Max Noble, Chris Balfe and Mat Coch have a lot to say from the positives of the race and the touching tribute to Jules Bianchi to just what Red Bull is going to do about its engine problem.

  • The Get Carter Episode
    After one of the best grands prix of the week, possibly the month, the Pitpass team can barely contain their positivity. Mostly because they're worried they'll be blamed for all Formula One's problems by Matthew Carter.

  • 2015 Austrian Grand Prix
    Somebody get the guys at atlas as the Pitpass trio of Max Noble, Mat Coch and Chris Balfe combined manage to confuse Azerbaijan with Kazakhstan. No folks, we don't know how they managed to do it either.
    Maybe it was the threat of losing Monza from the calendar that got Balfe frazzled or the seemingly endless march east the sport seems to have taken. Either way, if you trust the team while booking your next holiday in Baku you're likely to be disappointed.
    There is optimism among the ranks though. After the Austrian Grand Prix the team are positive about the Formula One, well, sort of. About as positive as they can be with confusing grid penalties that strike them as made up on the spot or pulled out of a hat.
    It's optimism tinged with just a little fear though. Fear that the powers that be might see Kimi Raikkonen's crash as a crowd pleaser and reason to shuffle the Formula One deck a little, despite Coch's insistence the sport is actually pretty good and doesn't need to be touched at all.
    Don't worry, we've doubled his medicine.
    Even Noble is in the act, as he sets about nailing a new pair of shoes onto the Prancing Horse while wondering what sort of fish Christian Horner hopes Ross Brawn is bringing for dinner.

  • Canada 2015
    Max Noble, Mat Coch and Chris Balfe are back to dissect a race that really never was as they cite Sebastian Vettel, Felipe Massa and one curious local as the highlights of an unusually uneventful Canadian Grand Prix.

  • Monaco 2015
    Max Verstappen's crash, Mercedes' decision to pit Lewis Hamilton, Williams lack of pace and McLaren scoring points. It was a Monaco Grand Prix worth talking about. But there's so much more the team sinks its teeth into, including the lack of leadership within Formula One. That's just the tip of the iceberg as Coch has a conspiracy theory, Balfe rants like he's never ranted before and Noble gets stuck in to the Strategy Group.

  • Spain 2015
    Following on from Nico Rosberg's first win in almost 12 months, the Pitpass team completely forgets to mention it as instead it ploughs into the hot topics from the F1 paddock. This week they discuss McLaren's woes, if Ferrari has slowed down and why Audi might be better served looking at Sauber instead of Red Bull.
