  • Good stuff for any F1 geek!

    I just found this a few weeks ago and it is great! SKY is the only F1 broadcast I love and thank all mighty god the powers that be at Apple TV here in the US allow us to choose the SKY broadcast over that mess on F1 TV. This is a great adjunct to those who watch religiously and enjoy all the side content SKY provides around the practice, qualifying and race broadcasts. I can’t get enough!

  • Unprofessional

    This output is just sloppy. Just listed to w/c 10 May 26 episode. There’s no direction, they sound exhausted, there’s more ‘in joke’ than analysis or opinion, long pauses, and background noise. I suspect Sky Sports are milking the contracts they have with the commentators. Don’t bother listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Celebrating South Asian Heritage month with McLaren’s Randy Singh
Q: What is the most rewarding aspect of being a race strategist on the pit wall?
The ability to directly influence outcomes, the adrenaline of decisions under pressure, and the realization that race outcomes aren't always tied to the perceived quality of a decision, which reinforces a no-blame, learning-focused culture.
Celebrating South Asian Heritage month with McLaren’s Randy Singh
Q: Randy, what sparked your journey into Formula One and how did your maths background influence your path?
He describes an early interest in maths and sciences, the shift from maths to engineering, and how projects during university and roles in finance and consulting gradually led him toward strategy in F1, where his attention to data and problem-solving became central.
Jacques Heckstall-Smith on the life of an F1 driver manager
Q: Is the driver-manager role as glamorous as it seems from the outside?
It's a demanding, all-encompassing job that requires managing contracts, relationships, and the personal lives of drivers, with a balance between loyalty, opportunity, and long-term career planning.
Jacques Heckstall-Smith on the life of an F1 driver manager
Q: What's the best piece of advice you'd give somebody trying to get into Formula One?
Set yourself a clear goal, make a plan, and live it every day until you get there, because persistence and willingness to start from the bottom can open doors that experience alone might not.
‘The entire internet went potty for it!’
Q: Do you think Antonelli will win four in a row?
Yes, it's possible in the short term, but Russell is expected to rebound and challenge; the group agrees Antonelli has momentum but accuracy depends on ongoing upgrades.
