  • Racist and backwards thinking

    Three white people - sometimes men and women come together to spout outdated opinions and there’s always one older person per episode that is outwardly racist. F1 could be so much better than this lot.

  • Lewis show. How bitter can those guys be :(

    This has to be on of the worst podcasts out there. Anti Max, pro Lewis for no reason at all. Max always makes mistakes coming from the rear? Lewis driver of the day because the takes pictures with the ladies? Come on, give it up🤦‍♂️
