  • Way too many indeed ads

    Amazing pod and im a lifelong F1 stan / broadcast journalist. S/o the og Williams BMW, BMW Sauber Juan Pablo Montoya era. This pod has way too many indeed ads they’re incessant and disruptive and on the job hunt everyone who uses it says indeed sucks. But like a million indeed apps per ep is shocking, please lower the amount

  • Obnoxious ads

    I enjoyed this podcast until they started injecting localized ads. Now I get the same super annoying ads that are on the local FM stations. One of the reasons I stopped listening to FM was those ads. I’m not going to listen to them again. Come on F1… this podcast is basically a long ad for F1. You’ve already got your host doing ads (which annoyingly, he does the thing where the tagline is repeated three times). You don’t need to monetize it there shouldn’t be any ads.

  • Seb Vettel episode the best ever

    Tom, I hope you read the reviews. I don’t normally write these. Perhaps I should do more. But, had to take the time to recognise the latest episode, with Seb. Absolutely fantastic. The openness and insights from him were great to hear. Thank you for allowing him the space to talk from the top of his head. Best episode ever.
