    Racist and backwards thinking
    Three white people - sometimes men and women come together to spout outdated opinions and there’s always one older person per episode that is outwardly racist. F1 could be so much better than this lot.
  • claymc3288
    Terrible Podcast
    Bias towards Lewis and always praising Max.
  • NxtLh
    Heading Downhill
    The show seems to have gone downhill. More and more frequently they aren’t aware of where someone finished or how someone ended up finishing where they did. Too many comments to the effect of, “I don’t remember this” when it should only take a little bit of prep to be accurate. I used to be a big fan, but the quality isn’t there anymore.

    Great listen
    Thoughtful and reliable analysis.

    Favorite show turned into least in a year
    I had to thank you for a few years of solid entertainment and information in the world of F1. Would look forward to this podcast every week but after last year and listening all season this year it has truly turned into a European Gatekeeper podcast for their sport and all cast members favorite driver Hamilton hearing through the undertones in voices the way they can’t show the true respect to someone who embarrassed their home town driver two years in a row. I’m not even a Red Bull fan but it’s frustrating this podcast seemed great but if your not a British born racing fan don’t bother with this podcast. Way under respect the work that Redbull and Max continue to give, if you want to hear excuses for every British born driver and lack of respect for drivers who achieved the championship every episode you still hear them not able to let go last season and have bias against drivers with real talent and not just had the best car to win them everyone without effort.

    This is my favourite F1 podcast, I love all the panellists, but my favourite is Tom Downey. The things he says always make me laugh. Can we get mugs with his face on them please??
  • zeswe123
    Hm?
    I hear hm every 2 seconds
  • On1st
    Great for a beginner
    As a new F1 fan I really find this podcast informative and very entertaining. Keep up the good work
  • Brodytray
    Complete analysis
    I enjoy the way that you review each driver on the grid and the interactions amongst them. Very informative.
  • Liteweight13
    Has Potential
    Some areas they give good analysis. Thenother times they basically just go around insulting drivers and talking about how crappy the FIA is for going to tracks in the Middle East A little childish and not interested in politics in a racing podcast. This is a good second choice behind WTF1
  • bryanstephon
    I like the information, but…
    I might be nit picking, but I hear “umm”
  • Starting to inderstand
    Well rounded F1 show
    This is a great well rounded way to learn about the way F1 works.
  • amrt00
    Winge talk
    Mostly complaining. Insufferable comedy attempts by the host who seems to have nothing interesting to contribute. The panel are the best part of the show but seem unprepared and mainly offer surface level analysis. Tried listening for ~12 episodes but gotta give it up, plenty of better F1 podcasts out there
  • Newbenz1137
    Impossible to listen to..
    One of the announcers says “Ah” every two seconds.
  • AlcoholicSavage
    Always entertaining!
    I look forward to hearing your guys’ takes after a race, you have a great balance between humor and being informative. I especially like hearing Phil talk about Haas 😂.
  • cheth34
    Great show!
    From the US and started watching F1 this year and this podcast is the one I go to after each race.
  • HamzAst
    Keep up the good work
    F1 fan for 20 years, but between netflix and this podcast, im grateful, f1 becoming more and more popular amongst my friends. Keep it up lads
  • J.Ritter@gmail
    Love it
    I’m a new fan to f1. I have tried a few different podcast but that has to be my favorite. Let’s go 6asly!!!
  • allthenamesweretaken46291047
    Great podcast!
    Newer to F1, but tried a lot of podcasts and this one is the best. Gets me prepped for the race and gets me through the week until race day. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc you keep having Tom Downey on as a guest. He is never prepared for the session, clearly doesn’t listen to the other guests or pay attention while recording, is looking at his phone and receiving constant txt messages while he’s talking, and adds absolutely no value. It seems like he didn’t even watch the qualifying or race or whatever the show is about bc he doesn’t know what happened during it and has to look it up, even if the other hosts just recapped it. When he does pay attention it is only to go on a long repetitive rant about mazepin or something completely irrelevant. If you tried the podcast and didn’t like it, try another episode without Tom Downey.
  • Drew1548
    Great show!!
    After my obsession with F1 reached full level, and I couldn’t get enough. I started looking for a pod to feed my F1 obsession. Found these guys, and have been listening to every episode since mid-summer. I loved the “Tyre Gate” episode, especially since I was in attendance at that race. Keep up the good work, and I’ll keep listening from across the pond!
  • WaimeaF1
    More more more
    If you don’t change anything, that’s fine, but I would appreciate more discussion about the management! I.e. Last weeks audacious critique of Red Bull had to be said and you were the first to put it out there; but it was time to say it. #freepierre Love your show.
  • Tommy Clark1
    Worthless
    Worthless podcast. I can watch the live coverage myself without listening to these imbeciles describe what see on tv and Twitter.
  • Nomad999!
    Week burner
    So good. Gets me through my week until raceday!!!!
  • fun game but it
    Great podcast
    If ur pretty new to f1 like me great way to stay up to date and learn more about formula (also if this gets shouted out please say thanks to “ai war”)
  • TMorawski19
    Mega show
    As a newer fan within the last three years I’ve been trying all sorts of F1 media with the goal of finding a couple shows to keep me informed and entertained. This show does both and now I never miss an episode. This pod is fun, fast paced, and expansive- all while being mostly under an hour runtime. Would give 6 stars if I could!!
  • Bnel13
    Great Podcast
    Newer to the world of F1, and this podcast has been a great way to learn more about the sport. Great panel of individuals on the show, and I am always looking forward to hearing their takes after each race. #GoMazepin 😂
  • HurdThat
    Love this Show!
    Great analysis of all aspects of the sport! Love the way they go through each team, so no matter who you’re rooting for, they will have you covered! Happy Danny Ric got his win!
  • Logan0714
    Great stuff!
    After searching high and low for great F1 podcast, I finally came across this one recently and was super impressed right away!
  • NOT_Poshmark
    Best F1 Podcast Out There
    As an American who recently got into F1 after watching the Netflix series I wanted to continue to learn more, well this podcast has become my favorite. Immediately following a race weekend and leading up to one this podcast gives me so much more information and I look forward to every episode! It’s definitely taught me a lot and given lots of perspective for a new F1 fan.
  • Kirkstej
    Great listen
    As a (typical these days) new fan of F1 in the States, it’s amazing how quickly listening to these after Quali and Race Day are part of my weekend routine. Love the prixviews and breakdowns as well. Steve, Chicago
  • D.Niji
    My go to for F1 insight!
    Great show, interesting perspective. Thanks for the content from this new F1 junkie!! #44💨
  • Daijin76
    Great overview for newcomers
    Thank you for the great show. I’m just diving back into F1 and I really appreciate the clear insight
  • coradefined
    Brilliant Takes!
    I love the show, and Phillip’s tales are hilarious.
  • Dv, Chicago
    Appreciate the diversity
    I am new to F1 and as such I value the depth of the discussions and diversity of perspectives. AND a female voice is refreshing! Thanks!
  • DanPT42
    Room to Grow
    I love this podcast! It’s so fun to listen to these guys before race weekend and then following the race for fun and informative post-race analysis. There is one guy on this show, however, that is just as negative as anyone can be. He has has rude comments about half of the teams in formula one. This podcast would be better without his comments. Would recommend this to anyone though!
  • nickname?? really?
    “Orange idiots”?
    Get rid of the American. I say this as an American.
  • lance2610

  • vanbboy4life
    Great Analysis
    Love the way you mates provide spot on analysis of F1. I particularly like the fact that you include views on all drivers and teams.
  • Lovelylindsers
    Good takes and variety of guests - love it!
    This podcast is great because a variety of folks appear as guests. They’re very informative and the dialogue is genuine. The intros can be a little clunky but once you get past that it’s great!
  • Taylor S (US)
    Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant
    You guys collect my thoughts for me (especially after insane races like Silverstone). Brilliant summarizations and really helps bring me down from the morning race. Also, “death , taxes, and egghead spins out” might be the funniest thing I’ve heard all week 😂 keep up the stellar work!
  • Drew Bach
    Love this podcast, super fast to post
    Great F1 discussions, love how fast it comes out after qualifying and races.
  • cpg3434
    Great, in-depth, F1 podcast!
    Love the guys’ knowledge and perspectives! Bold predictions so fun. Thanks for taking the time to talk through each team.
  • nicknoss15
    One of my Go-To’s
    I have been listening to this podcast for a while now. I enjoy the analysis and the diversity of opinions.
  • BrienNoonan
    Solid Reviews and Previews
    I’m new to F1 and I need all the insight o can get. I Lots of good YouTube channels out there, but I’ve found the podcasts lacking. This one is good and and the “prixviews” really help me prep for race weekend.
  • Dromero42
    Great podcast!!
    It’s so hard to be able to find a podcast that can grab you and keep you interested for 20min let alone for more than 40min. Thanks for all the info you put out and the insight you bring to us on this sport, specially for someone like me that basically am a baby on this sport. I recommend it.
  • abdorima
    Great podcast!!
    Awesome podcast! Keep up the good work, fun and engaging to listen to!! Give it a listen if you haven’t already!
  • Griffinator77
    Good start
    The insight is great and top level, but the sound quality makes it impossible to understand at times.

    Currently listening to the Abu Dhabi preview. You forgot to introduce your final guest? He hasn't contributed to the conversation yet, but I can distinctly hear Lord Vader breathing in the background.
