The only F1 podcast I listen to now. Three different perspectives, not often found in other podcasts. I now know the difference between engineering and magic.
Educational and entertaining too.
great chemistry between the hosts (all 3 of them!).
loved every episode so far, episode 26 was funny while Jake was on holiday.
if there was one tiny thing to change it would be the jokes about wanking/ranking, it’s old already.
Keep up the great work!
I really enjoy this podcast. Have been watching F1 since the early 90s as my parents loved it and find that this podcast just adds to my knowledge of the sport and how things run. As a good northern from the UK, I love Ron’s explanations and his dark engineering web. Keep bringing the content guys
Great show guys, keep up the good work.
I love F1 and I love your show. It’s the perfect mixture between insides, knowledge, fun history, present and future. Keep the track. Note: I was born and raised 20 Min away from the Nürburgring. Also not far from Spa tho. First F1 Race 1995 Live with all the engines. Martin Brundle in Jordan-Peugeot was my first. Still get goosebumps. Spa Eau Rouge with Villeneuve and Zonta Crash’s etc…
In these times you could hear it 30 km far away from the Ring, depending on the wind. Bring the V8 back!!!! :... more
