  • Great Show but no pay driver interviews from Colopinto back of the grid drivers

    Guys when the show came out, excellent interviews from ex-champs and F1 greats, top tier. But when its quiet, and content hard to come by, go back and interview the ex-champs a second time, about certain seasons. Don't give us drivers that can’t provide any substance like drivers without a win, or second interviews with drivers who have scored a hat full of points. Go back and do second interviews with 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000’s. Dont be lazy and settle with 8th mechanics at the back of... more

  • Good but

    This is generally a very good podcast with some big hitting guests and some less well known. Tom Clarkson is generally excellent if a little cheesy. Only gripes being the use of “how do you reflect. ? “ question all the time and his failure at times to have self awareness of the words he uses when interviewing somebody whose first language isn’t English.
