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
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
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

A fast-paced motorsport discussion show that blends insider perspective with candid storytelling. Episodes center on weekend race drama, leadership moves within teams, driver-market dynamics, and governance questions in Formula One, often enriched with behind-the-scenes anecdotes from paddock insiders and face-to-face interviews with notable figures. The format leans into sharp reactions, meaningful context, and storytelling that goes beyond race results, with live or event-focused deep dives that unpack strategy, culture, and the business of the sport.
