  • Weekend spoilers

    I have listened since the beginning but have to step away. It was good while I was learning about F1 but my personal interest in the sport I now just get frustrated at the episodes. I have to watch races on delay by a day and the post race episode titles are massive spoilers. The content is good in parts but the hyperbole is a bit too much for me these days. A good podcast to get you hyped about the sport, not so much after a few years

  • Great show!

    Great show! Some of the other f1 shows are great and informative, but put me to sleep instantly! How can we get Gunther to be a featured voice on Waze?! I think having him tell me “red light camera reported ahead, don’t be a vankah!” Would be an instant hit!

  • Spoiled the race two races in a row

    Please be conscious of how you word your titles. You’ve given away results two races in a row in the title. It was pretty exciting last race when Lewis won for the first time in Ferrari. But that result was ruined for me by the title of your podcast in my notifications. You guys are both in the US, you know how these start times can be difficult for us out here. When you do your best to avoid social media throughout the day at work because you’re excited to get home and watch the race to only to... more

Guenther Steiner's 2026 Mexico GP Recap! | Vankah Hours S3E24

Q: What do you think was said to Lando Norris in that interim? And do you think he really heard it?

Q: Where would you place Alpine given their progress this year?
Alpine sits around a B or B-minus; they started slow but have improved, making strong case for being in the higher end of the midpack with a notable upgrade path.
