  • Cawl Says BBV10s A Must Listen for Anyone Who Wants to Claim A Serious Knowledge of F1

    Despite having watched all the races being talked, I learned so much I never knew or forgot. Because all these seasons happened long ago, the team + drivers, engineers / mechanics, TPs, etc. on as guests share endless revelations that were kept secret at the time.

  • F1 Fans Dream Podcast

    So bingeable, only discovered recently. The guys do a great job of not just telling the story of the at hand, but also in setting the scene of what the landscape of the paddock was at the time of the story.

    As a fellow Villeneuve mega fan, I have a great affection for Glenn fandom.

    Look forward to seeing new episodes, keep up the great work guys!!!

  • The best F1 podcast without a doubt

    Totally bingeable. I love this show so much that I joined the Race Members Club. I’d love to ask the really feeble and childish question: what is everyone’s fave GP of all time? Canada ‘11 for me.

  • Gripping stuff for any avid F1 fan

    I never miss an episode, be it V10s, V8s, turbos, whatever. This podcast has all the excruciating detail you could want from those moments in history that are at best a blur for me.

    I could listen to Glen and the gang all day long.

BONUS: Bring Back V10s Debrief on the Senna-Schumacher rivalry
Q: How do you think the Senna-Schumacher rivalry would have played out in the social media world?
It would have been horrendously debated, with intense fan divisions and sensational takes, amplified to a million-fold in today's social media culture; yet the essence would be the same: two fierce competitors pushing each other to extremes while the broader public argued, speculated, and cherished every controversial moment.
S13 E2: Jaguar's nightmare debut season
Q: Andy, was Irvine a sensible signing actually as a lead driver for the next era of this team, given he's just come off an unlikely title tilt?
Yes, Irvine was seen as a near-ideal 'lead driver' who brought experience, a winning background, and a clear understanding of how a top team should operate, even though the overall project still faced fundamental structural and organizational challenges.
S13 E2: Jaguar's nightmare debut season
Q: When you think back to Jaguar in 2000, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
