- Top F1 Podcast
In a sea of mediocre F1 podcasts Up to Speed is honest , informed and filled with great insight. Led by David Coultard and Will Buxton, the commentary is top-notch.

A great, informative show, ruined by Jolie. Put aside her awful voice, she’s like an over excited child with little knowledge who just agrees with everything anyone says. Bring back Will and Naomi with DC.
Jolie adds nothing

United Kingdoma month ago - DC as always is great, the rest, not so much
Fantastic insights into the world of F1. I’m assuming bring Jolie in has tried to widen the demographic, possibly the younger listener. Sorry but Jolie’s voice really puts me off listening and she just doesn’t seem to fit into this. DC is a legend and always draws in great guests and has great stories from the past and behind the scenes. FFS was great with Eddie. We need another character from the world of F1, and why not a women? There are plenty of ex-drivers/team engineers who are women with ... more

When I started listening to the podcast it was very informative but
The swearing really put me off
Please keep it clean as the kids love f1 and now they can’t listen as there is bad language
Apple Podcasts2Anonymous2774United Kingdom2 months ago - Mixed thoughts
I mainly enjoy the podcast but there’s two things I’ve knocked a star off each for…
1. As many others have said, Jolie seems out of her depth and doesn’t add much to the podcast. I want to support young women but I think she’s better suited to content creation and other formats.
2. As a recent reviewer has also said, I can’t subscribe to this podcast because the episode titles give race spoilers. There’s no need for this because either people have seen the race and you’re not adding anything to ... more
