We're Rob and Matt, University mates who both share a love for Formula One. While at Uni we started a podcast called Rob & Matt on F1, we know, not overly original. The podcast was a chance for us to give our view on what was happening in the world of F1, and also to give our predictions before each forthcoming race weekend.
Well Rob & Matt on F1 is back, bigger and better than ever, and with a shiny new name - you guessed it... The Pit Lane.
Over the course of the forthcoming season we'll give you plenty of podcasts, previewing each race weekend and of course reacting to the news hitting the headlines in the sport we love.
But while you get ready for our first podcast, find out more about us!

First F1 Memory: Sitting at home on a rainy Saturday afternoon watching the re-run of qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix back in 2002. I loved what I saw, and then of course, was astounded by the huge first corner accident which took place at the start of the race the following day. I've never looked back since.
