  • Used to love this podcast

    I listen to podcasts to try to avoid the politics of the day. It seems like the last year or two, this podcast has shifted way more political so it’s no longer an escape from the negativity in the world. Really wish they’d go back to just F1 rather than backhanded political comments through out the show.

  • Mean girls & gossip

    I’ve been a listener for years, but the latest episodes of gossiping about personalities and negativity really put me off. Far from being an informative race centric show, this podcast has become increasingly gossipy and nasty. It’s just not for me anymore.

  • Best F1 Show

    This is the best F1 podcast out there. Not Sky. Not F1. Not BBC. This one. Highly informative. Hilariously funny. I look forward to this restarting every year when they take their annual hiatus. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • Remedial at best

    Witless, ill-informed and enamored with the sound of their own voices. If they were 10% as smart and entertaining as they think they are, they’d be hilarious savants.

  • Is this a political podcast or an F1 podcast?

    This show was great until they went all in on very far left politics. I don’t care about your political opinions. I care about F1.
