Dirty Side Digest #14

On the Dirty Side this week…

A little bit later than usual as Rob was off on a mini-break in Maine hence the podium predictions done on the beach (added later if you have not seen them).

Last week we reviewed the Bahrain GP which, if not a total banger, was much better in terms of on track action than the Japanese race that came before it.

Plenty of drives to pick from when debating our King of the Pits award but we really struggled to pick a nomination for our The Pits award.

We discover the new guy Pete on the grid as well as look ahead to the upcoming Saudi race.
