  • Contradictory

    The whole podcast was just contradictory. You just said Lando had great drives in the Dutch and Singapore GPs, then immediately said he can only perform when there’s no WDC pressure. You said it was a clear disadvantage to have a teammate take points off you in the WDC, then immediately fawned all over Verstappen for not having a competitive teammate. ??? Make up your mind, use logic, and maybe think things through.

  • Amateur hour.

    Last 2 podcasts have been amateur hour . Imola GP cancellation Podcast was tone def and ignorant . Parts of the monaco preview were akin to listening to dumb and dumber. Tom’s grasp of US geography is shocking, Vagas is located in the north west 🙄.

  • Good podcast

    I like this podcast, listen to it every week.

    They do their best to hide it, but there a strong anti Red Bull/Verstappen tendency from at least 2 of the members. But that’s their right.

  • Easily the best F1 podcast out there. Endlessly entertaining but informative, unafraid of expressing opinions but never shutting down others and always respectful. Top tier.

2025 Belgian GP Review - Must Be The Water
Q: Does Alex Dunn have a future in F1 despite being a reserve driver?
Alex is doing well in F2, but McLaren's situation complicates opportunities for him in F1.
2025 Belgian GP Review - Must Be The Water
Q: Is the criticism of Lando valid given how hard he has to push?
It's 50-50; he made mistakes but had to push hard to close the gap to Oscar.
2025 Japanese GP Preview - Another One Bites The Dust
Q: Are Williams going to win a race this year? If they do, under what circumstances?
It would take something like Gasly's win at Monza or Ocon's win in Hungary, where it's a strange race under strange circumstances and they find their way to the front and hold on.
2025 Japanese GP Preview - Another One Bites The Dust
Q: What do you think Red Bull does if Yuki performs on par or God forbid, worse than Liam has been doing for the first two races?
I think they have to at this point accept that it's something to do with the car and not the drivers in the second car that are the issue.
2023 Abu Dhabi GP Review - 1000 IQ Leclerc 🧠
Q: Does Sargeant deserve a second season despite finishing lower than previous drivers?
He has shown improvement and there’s no obvious replacement, so keeping him for another season makes sense.
