Hi. I’m unfollowing your podcast because you idiots put the winner of Barcelona in the title of the podcast, why? WHY? Just title it “Mega result in Barcelona” or something. I wasn’t even going to listen to the podcast I just scrolled past it as I was looking for my morning news updates. Could you just think for a second before you ruin a race?

Please, Chequered Flag team, you should know your audience better than to put any kind of race result information in a space where your fans cannot control if they see it. Titles like: “Barcelona GP Qualifying: Russel bounces back” “Monaco GP: Is there any stopping Antonelli?” “Monaco GP Qualifying: Where were the Ferraris?” all popped up as notifications before I could watch the race or qualifying same day, or appeared in app. You have an international audience that has a lot of same/next day viewership. This shows some part of your team has a major misunderstanding of your audience.

Theres too much wrong with this product to go point by point. Just forget about it. There are powerful independent F1 voices out there - go to them. This is corporate cooperation with F1 the business as a podcast & nothing more.

Please bring back Jennie Gow as host. Harry comes across as too immature and frankly a bit of a brat. Swap their roles and the show can be great again.

Can you make it so that the titles of the podcast episodes don’t give away what happened at Quali?

Was literally watching China Q3 when the push notification spoiled the results. Not everyone who follows this show is in the same time zone. Don’t spoil results in the titles.

Hey! Mind telling us where to find the 8 part McLaren Meltdown podcast you all mentioned in the Brasil pre-race sp?

Things have come a long way from ‘22. Damon simply adds additional ‘cred’ to a succinct, lively and enthusiastic review of the action.

You guessed it፣Sorry that turned into Chiness

My fav. Andrew Benson is always logical and pragmatic. But technically quite often the new episode doesn't show up. It shows as new in my feed but when I go to play it, there’s nothing there. Edit - old episodes are gone or behind a paywall? Like even the end of 2024 season wrap up? Is this now a different podcast or is this an off season show and back catalogue thing?

I still suffer through most episodes because they occasionally have information I don’t hear about elsewhere. But l think it provides an underrated service. Rosanna gives a look at what it would be like to be an F1 fan but not have critical thinking skills. It is wild sometimes.

Thanks to all the BBC Team. You the best.

Be prepared for a brutal British bias on the analysis parts. Lots of whinging if the British drivers get beaten.

Benson goes one full minute without mentioning Horner allegations challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

Sprint races…… sigh. Why not take 1 car frm the previous year and rn 1 driver from each teams backup, test or F2 respective friver pools and have a seperatw championship for them and the team. Gives the up and comers a taste of the F1 cars, sllows thwm to prove themselves and gain experience without jeapordizing the current years championship. Tgis could also add some fan interest in seeing the next gen drivers, creating fan bases and would likely provide a better race over all. After all, the teams really arent pushing themselves or the cars for 2 points.

Great, informative podcast, but Andrew Benson’s disgusting lip smacking noises has me fast forwarding through his segments. It would be great if they would get him a different mic or edit out the smacking in post.

Why is no one on this podcast acknowledging the seriousness of the Red Bull employee’s claims and the disgraceful way she’s been treated for speaking out about her own harassment?

Pod team wants to spend the whole show talking about real or invented gossip versus discussing the on track racing.

Listening to the vacuous Jennie Gow slobbering all over Sir Lewis is a waste of time. The entire panel takes turns fellating LH. Sam Bird has been a very positive addition but has now received the memo and is a typical sycophant. Rosanna, Harry and Alice. I literally couldn’t make it 2 minutes before turning the podcast off. Which is amazing because I consume everything F1. How did Harry get his job? Vacuous inexperienced and no knowledge of F1? His dad has to be someone. Get well Jennie. Recently listened to Benson, Brundle and Palmer it was excellent and that crew is 5 stars. Harry Benjamin is the worst of a miserable bunch other than the aforementioned trio of Palmer Benson and Brundle

Massive British biased and hate towards Perez. If it was any of the British boys they’d be all over them. Very disappointing podcast. Absolutely disappointing how much they make it obvious that Perez is on Red Bull.

Great podacast to hear journalists complain about the performance of the race winner and how early they had to get up to watch a race not on a daytime GMT schedule.

I get that this is the BBC, but you can find a myriad of great F1 podcasts with British hosts that provide a much more measured analysis. Thumbs down. I’ll give a 3 star Edit : even worse today. Trying to feast on the Horner non story. 2 stars

So happy you’re back

What happened to Jack? Is he no longer working Five Live F1? Sorry, if the answer is obvious, I apologize, as I am in the USA, and we don’t get any other BBC F1 content besides the podcast (meaning I can’t listen to the actual races).

The less Andrew Benson the better. Enjoyable show, well produced, so much better than the typical BBC woke trash! Sticks to the sport.

You click on a new episode and it buffers for a minute before saying the episode is unavailable. They also frequently upload the episode on the wrong podcast. I don’t have this issue with any other podcast. This should not be happening with 2023 technology.

The podcast is an average show be when it sticks to the events and action of F1. Far too often it veers into political commentary and the related opinions of its hosts. I do not listen to or watch racing entertainment to hear their opinions on politics.

This used to be my favorite F1 podcast but I can’t listen to the new hosts. They always seem angry and argumentative. Nothing fun about this podcast anymore. Really hoping Jennie Gow can come back someday and revive this podcast but until then I’ve unsubscribed.

I used to look forward to listening to this podcast after each race for the past few years. This year, the podcast is absolutely unlistenable. The changes made to the hosts were not successful.

To hear them compare Florida to Saudi Arabia in terms of human rights violations is both ignorant and disgusting. Not sexualizing education for kids in elementary school and younger is a far cry from what goes on in Saudi Arabia. Their peice talking to Lewis is fraught with misinformation and ignorance, it’s flat out embarrassing. Shame on the BBC and these journalists

I’ve been a longtime listener and thoroughly enjoy this podcast. Missing Jennie this season, Jack Nicholls is fantastic, and a riot. However, if their goal is to grow the sport, talking about politics and using incorrect information is not the answer. I was aghast that they said racing in Florida is like racing in Saudi Arabia, when discussing the Miami GP. If you’re going to bring up politics on a sports podcast get your facts straight. Pathetic.

Listen if you want F1 talking points rather than thoughtful analysis of the sport.

The show is great and was sad to see Jennie’s health issue. Get well soon and hope to hear you again at the start of the season!

Sam Bird should consider recording guided meditations or him reading children's stories for bedtime. What velvet pipes along with his racing knowledge. Read me a bedtime story about racing, Sam. Please?

It’s immediate coverage after races so you can’t blame them for occasionally having misinformed views. I just wish they would occasionally ask Jennie to actually have reason behind her opinions, seems that she’s just there to spew controversial remarks.

Probably the best F1 podcast with anti PR commentators 👌 The only thing to improve would be the timing of the update to me. Sometimes the podcast is updated the next day, which makes it already outdated (especially for gp preview and qualifying)

Enough for five stars.

I’m a new F1 fan this year and just discovered this podcast. They spent more than the first half of the first, and I guess now last episode I listened to discussing racism not the upcoming British GP.

Other commentators are available but Jack Nichols is the man! 🏁

This podcast has been the gold standard and will continue to be so with it's current team but please guys....if you're going to spoil the result of another series event (indy 500) right at the end of the podcast PLEASE give us a warning for those of us who don't get to watch everything live......you completely ruined a whole weekend's plans I was so excited for

It is incredible that a Formula 1 podcast from the BBC has not touched on the exit of Mazepin, the FIA report about Abu Dhabi, and the explosion at Jedda. How they can completely ignore these crucial events surrounding the sport, is mind boggling to me. In general their analysis just touches the surface and for these reasons I don’t recommend it.

This show is the best formula 1 show out there (but there’s not many). Jennie is one of the best moderators in entertainment, and the experts are really expert. You come away from the show feeling more informed about the sport, and the show is very entertaining even for people who aren’t really interested in car racing.

This is my go to F1 podcast. You guys generally do a good job. However, the first race of the 2022 season is just days away, every team has attacked the new regulations differently, there have been TWO separate testing sessions separated by an open week, and you guys have said not one word!!! How about a season preview? How about a new car review after some of the testing? How about keep me from having to listen to the bilge on those other F1 podcasts. C’mon, get to work!!!

Great except for Jenny’s constant bias towards Lewis. She may deny it, but it’s plain for us to see. Love the commentary on everything else though!

But the claim of “BBC impartiality” is absolute crap. You alienate fans of other teams, especially of Red Bull and Max Verstappen. New flash, Max is not the devil incarnate, and was voted the fans’ favorite driver. Consider your audience.

Expertise humor charm this is the best F1 podcast by far. But I missed Ms Gow of course.

Seems to favor the Hamilton for every conversation.

I’m a relatively new fan to F1. Been keeping up with it for only 5 years now. BBC doesn’t analyze without bias, which I get if you’re appealing to British fan base I guess. Clearly a pro Lewis Hamilton fan club podcast. Jenny is a great host, but the guys remind me of the typical and blatant English bias seen in Premier League commentary.

Great podcast. Never releases soon enough for me. I want it right after the race!!! Lol. #maxftw #MNFledermaus #whatanamazingseason #cantwaitfordrivetosurvive

Unfortunate in a season full of compelling stories, another biases POD. Shame, BBC credibility is better than shorting itself for this
