Baku belonged to George Russell. He took pole, fastest lap and the win, and led every lap for the first Grand Slam of his career. Otmar tells the guys about the rather unusual gift he showed George after qualifying. Rob explains why one crash on a st... more
Baku is back, and it’s one of the strangest challenges on the F1 calendar. You want maximum downforce through the castle section, then almost none for the longest straight in Formula 1. Get the setup wrong and you’re either slow through the corners o... more
£151 million, three years of design, 17 months of construction, 353,000 fans… and four overtakes. Madrid certainly put on a show, but Jake, Rob and Otmar have a question: did anyone remember to build a race track?
The guys debate whether F1 has beco... more
Nobody wins from 19th at Monza. Well, Kimi Antonelli did, the internet immediately called it the drive of the decade… and Rob would like a word. He agrees it was brilliant — he just thinks everyone's watching the wrong part of it.
The guys pull the... more

The wealth of inside F1 knowledge is unmatched in the podcast game! NO POLISH, NO SPONSORS, JUST FUN CONVERSATION.
The show is outstanding and it is so informative. I love all three of you on the show as it has a great ping pong effect going backwards and forwards. Keep up the great work and I wish you did two shows a week
First off love the show with the stories from the past, the helpful insight with the current cars, and the banter you all have with each other.
My nomination for BS corner is standing starts after a red flag. I don’t understand why the rule is to go to a standing start after a red flag. If it wasn’t red flagged you would just do a rolling start behind the safety car and whoever is the leader would control the pace on the restart. I understand doing a red flag to do repairs safely or even neu... more
Listening from Alberta, Canada and absolutely love the show. I listen as soon as it comes out. I grew up in Hungary and later Dubai. I was fortunate enough to watch Schumi, Rubens, Jenson, Kimi and Lewis at Hungaroring for many years in the mid 2000s. Later in my teens I got to watch a race at Yas Marina.
Jake and the BBC broadcast with the Fleetwood Mac intro was a core memory of my childhood Sundays. This podcast is the perfect amount of nostalgia, insight and humor. Love the little stories o... more
Really enjoy the laid-back vibe that the boys have established. Otmar (aka Omar) is a great steady story teller, and Jake keeps it light and humourous. Rod- well, he’s ok in small doses!
Enjoy the F1 ‘insiders’ perspective (and Dad jokes).
Keep it rolling!
