Pep died in late 2011 from alcohol abuse sadly. Unfortunately he was found in a pool of his own excrement, having been alone for several months. We all could see his deterioration over the last few videos, but when he was made redundant from his job as a lounge boy, that was the end for him. RIP Pep, F1 Legend
@rKfromdabay - thanks mate. Yep, we'll be running the podcast thoughout the year. We've been doing it since 2006! Not sure about iTunes yet but will let you know if we do. - Max
Can i please pull you up on one point you made about Lewis Hamilton.He is NOT the "golden boy" you state us British fans think he is.There are just as many Button fans and quite rightly so.Alot of British fans are seeing Hamilton for what many of us have been saying he is since his first season, ie; an arrogant,spoilt driver who at many times shows no respect for his fellow drivers,including his team mate.Button is now rightly thought of as McLarens No1 driver by most of us British fans.
@34gtrskyline1 - Yep, you certainly can pull me up re: Lewis. I guess in my experience over the years, the press have painted him up as the 'golden boy' and a lot of chat on various forums/websites have supported this theory. No disrespect intended on my part, I'm glad to hear from you that JB's getting the respect he deserves in the old dart! - Max
@theEnemyac130above i'm not knocking hamiltons driving skill and the fact he has won a championship. I just think he is a twat for refusing to sign my 5 year olds t shirt at last years British grand prix
@TheEnemyac130above - Thanks for your comment mate. It is actually pronounced Rickyardo, however because he believes Australian's have a problem with the correct pronunciation he's never corrected them when they've pronounced it Ricardo. Hey, who cares...just so long as he's quick right! - Max
@tangodale - You're 100% right! I KNOW he's had problems with the Pirellis and STILL can't believe that I said what I said!!! Oh well, must be old age catching up with me :) - Max
I'm always stoked during the Australian Open, but to have F1 PODCAST back is icing on the cake! Glad to see ya dude.(sorry to see Stosur & Tomic are out).
I've made email inquiries about tickets for the Circuit Of The Americas race in Nov. YEAH!(Seattle to Texas..NO PROBLEM)
@jerryjoe88 - Ha, ha...you're way too kind buddy! Ummm, let's not talk about the tennis :) Geez...Seattle to Texas?! Make sure you take a packed lunch dude, you're gonna need it! - Max ;)
I think all-in-all the Maldonado/Senna driver combo is probably the weakest on the grid. If all teams had exactly identical cars, it's my reckoning that Williams could be back of the grid (based on what I've seen from these two drivers in F1 in the past). If Williams wanted actual progress, in terms of speed, then they really shouldn't have passed on the much better drivers of Barrichello, Heidfeld and Sutil, who may not bring as much money but certainly would shake a lot more out of the car.
Great to see you back, Max. Some excellent opinions and a pretty nifty looking setting, too! Agree with every one of your points, although I'd like to point out that "Ricciardo" is pronounced like "card", so it's "Ric-card-o". You were practically bang-on with Vergne, though. Like Jules Vergne.
Looking forward to more 'Casts in 2012! Will be great to see how you and Pep have matured over the 6(?)-month break since the last episode.

I like J.B. better, he has always something interesting to say and knows and appreciates the attention he gets. Also the only thing sadder than Rubino leaving F1 is p
