  • Spoilers!

    Great podcasts but they put spoilers in the title of their podcasts. Sometimes I can't watch the race until a couple of days after it happens and I don't like having it spoiled

  • Mostly great

    Very good podcast usually but loses a star for Ben Anderson’s occasional appearance. What a negative misery that bloke is, his disdain and constant need to talk down Hamilton is breathtaking. Get rid

  • Way to ruin the race

    I cannot fathom how a podcast about F1 could possibly think it’s okay to release an episode with the winner of the race in the episode title on THE SAME DAY as the race. Super disrespectful to fans who don’t have the luxury of watching live. Instant unfollow. Really disappointed in you folks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tech Show: Is Mercedes at risk in F1's development war?
Q: How are teams mitigating lithium-ion battery hazards?
Regulatory frameworks include containment, debris safety, and structured testing to limit live exposure; while current packs are well-engineered, the risk of a rogue cell remains and requires ongoing vigilance and learning.
Tech Show: Is Mercedes at risk in F1's development war?
Q: Did F1 give Ferrari anything extra when they changed the starting procedure?
The change to the five-second hold at the start was a safety measure that affected all teams, including Ferrari, and it shifted turbo behavior; it was not an advantage exclusive to Ferrari.
Scripted for TV?! F1's driver radio moaning problem
Q: What's your take on the value of instant reactions versus reflective, time-gapped analysis after races?
Instant reactions provoke discussion and engagement, but the real value often comes from later reflections when drivers have processed footage and context, allowing them to give more accurate and informative insights.
Scripted for TV?! F1's driver radio moaning problem
Q: Is there a risk that drivers rely too much on race control and pit-wall guidance instead of solving situations on track?
The panel agrees that drivers often want autonomy to race and deal with backmarkers themselves, but recognizes that modern tools, spotters, and team communications complicate that independence, sometimes making reliance on stewards seem necessary.
Scripted for TV?! F1's driver radio moaning problem
Q: Do you think there's a case for abolishing blue flags to crank up overtaking and drama?
There's a strong pull on both sides: some believe removing blue flags could increase overtaking and action, while others warn it would wreck the coherence of the race and lead to chaos behind the leader, especially on tracks where passing is already difficult.
