NEWS STORY
There was a Grand Prix at the weekend, honest there was, though you wouldn't know it from listening to the post-Abu Dhabi podcast.
Once again Chris Balfe, Glen Crompton and Mat Coch fall over themselves as they pick the sport apart at the seams, steadfastly avoiding the very subject they were meant to talk about.
To be fair, at one stage they do mention the race, albeit accidentally, comparing it to the moon landing hoax, but soon get back on track by admiring just how quickly Mark Webber can grow a beard.
Lotus PR man Andy Stobart gets an honourable mention for his performance over the weekend while Balfe asks just what GP2 champion Fabio Leimer is going to do with all his free time in 2014.
Making up for missing the last show Balfe also gives his plaudits to Sebastian Vettel and his fourth world championship, but goes on to lament the current state of Formula One... before being interrupted by Crompo who is hell bent on making his point whether you like it or not.
Crompo's rant about what exactly it is that Niki Lauda brings to Mercedes - other than a nice line in check shirts - is left on the cutting room floor though if the lawyers get round to Mt Coch's office quickly enough they can find the evidence.
At just less than fourteen minutes it's a bite sized look at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (sort of); slightly less time than it takes Mark Webber to grow a beard.
