  • Volume: 11

    It’s like they’ve been making the output volume incrementally less and less over the years. It’s now nearly impossible to hear anything but the ads. Great stuff.

  • What happened to this podcast?

    I used to really enjoy it for the detailed coverage and insights, but over the last year it’s gone downhill. Episodes are rare, and when they do appear, they barely last 10 minutes. No coverage of Zandvoort at all? Disappointing. Sadly, it feels like it’s time to unsubscribe and find a more consistent F1 fix elsewhere.

  • Very biased

    British podcast for British fans, will make fun of all non British teams and talk up British drivers. Not objective analysis.

  • Podcasts have unfortunately gone backwards in quality

    I never write reviews, but with respect can you please make longer podcasts. These short 10 min reviews are not allowing the experts to give their in depth review and views. It’s just skimming the surface and Autosport is better than that. It’s tying one arm behind the reviewers’ backs. These guys know their stuff, let them share it. Please make the podcast length longer. Thanks for taking the time read the review.
