Formula 1 for fools. Mitch is a complete novice when it comes to Formula 1, his experience so far is essentially watching the first 3 episodes of Drive To Survive. Dave is a bit of an expert, or at least a very passionate fan. We’re taking a look at the past, present and future of Formula 1 and would love for you to come along for the ride.

  • Dave the Brit actually knows his stuff

    Came across from the choccies podcast and have really enjoyed it. Sports mad so have always had an interest in F1 but great to get a bit more info into the intricacies of F1. Good to see Dave the Brit actually knowing some stuff and Skin bringing his usual intensity. I highly recommend with 5 stars aka Alex Albon or Carlos Sainz not a 1 star aka Lance Stroll

  • Little Dave

    Love it when little Dave gets shook by Skin and goes SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN. Very easy to listen to while on my commutes. Also weird that Williams are actually getting better as each episode airs. I think they’re powered by Little Dave’s unbridled passion for them. It’s a gentle approach to F1, but with that comes the fun too. Favorite parts are: SKIIIIIIN, CHAD, HLR and Mitch’s eye rolling at Dave’s over excitement.
