Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Papaya Pod Race Review – Las Vegas 2025
Q: What was your initial thought when you saw that both cars had been disqualified?
I was shocked and found it hard to believe; our engineering should have ensured compliance with the rules.
Episode 4 - Ben Hebborn
Q: What's your favourite all time Formula One moment?
It probably has to be when Lewis won the championship in 2008 because I was working. I wasn't working on the race team, but I was part of the team.
Episode 3 - Gary Thorpe
Q: Why are you a McLaren fan?
Gary shares that he began supporting McLaren during the BBC-ITV switch over years, finding the team's drivers and engineering prowess compelling.
Episode 10 - Perry Brown
Q: Why are you a McLaren fan?
Perry explains that he became a McLaren fan because he disliked Ferrari as a child, and the blue helmets of McLaren drivers Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard drew him in.
Episode 7 - Gerold Smits
Q: Do you have love for Max Verstappen?
No. He is one of the only drivers I don't like, which is related to his father's behavior.
