I miss Katy soooooo much. This podcast is so amazing! But the only annoying thing is that I run out of episodes to listen to.
The show is fine, but l want to hear the guests and the hosts, not randoms in a big crowd. It’s sometimes hard to hear clearly.
Love the podcast with all my heart! So funny but also extremely informative. Keep up the great work
I love it! It is so good for new to F1 fans and people like me who love it and just want to know more! I have one question though how hard is it to be a commenter
