    Great podcast but with much to improve
    I enjoy most of the interviews on this podcast, but I do wish both hosts would let the experts talk more. I appreciate Christian’s love and knowledge of F1, but I do wish Katie had the same. It’s unfortunately clear that she knows very little about the sport and relies heavily on notes, and it’s painful to hear her ask questions sometimes. If we could get a passionate F1 fan to complement Christian, that would make this podcast so much better!

    Fantastic Podcast
    I am new to Formula 1 and this Podcast helped fill in the blanks for me around a lot of things. The best part about it is that the personality of the hosts and guests are so great that you don’t realize you are learning. So happy I found this!

    So much promise
    I want to love this podcast. I am a newer F1 fan and love getting this kind of insight. Christian and the experts they bring on the podcast are all so good, but Katie’s additions are so painful that I have debated unsubscribing repeatedly. I debated sharing this because I know female podcast hosts get disproportionately bad reviews, but it’s not her voice or the fact that she’s a woman—it’s that her contributions lower the level of discourse. Please consider switching to a new cohost.

    Good idea but
    Some good information but it’s like the hosts are talking to small children. Honestly, just let the experts talk

    As a new f1 fan, this podcast helps understand f1 really good. I recommend this for beginners and I think I won’t have as many questions during a race. Thank you soooooooo much!!! Also, how does the drs button open the wing during drs. And one more thing…. 🎵 Max Max Max Super Max Max Super Super Max. And du du du DU, Max Verstapen 🎵

    I learn so much from this show!
    I LOVE this show! Katie and Christian are delightful! They bring on guests that you know, and others that you SHOULD know, from the world of Formula 1! They definitely care about what their listeners have to say, and try to answer our questions - I submitted a question about name pronunciations, and they asked THE Jolyon Palmer and THE Alex Jacques (sorry, Christian, I also love your "The Fast and the Curious" podcast). They even played a clip of Will Buxton asking a driver the same question!!! This is a great podcast for newer fans (like me), and for lifelong for fans! I frequently hear episodes where their guests, who are often experts in their fields, have exclaimed about something they've learned, too! Give it a try!

    Love this podcast!
    I’ve been an F1 fan for about 10 years now and this podcast is such a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies and history of the sport! Great hosts, great guests, an easy listen and highly educational. Love you guys!!

    Fascinating!
    I LOVE this podcast. I am a long time F1 fan, and this show teaches me so much about the millions of details that go into a successful F1 race and a winning team. There is a great variety of topics and the hosts ask great questions of their guests. If you want drama, watch Drive to Survive- if you want to learn about racing, this is the podcast for you

    She needs to articulate her words more. I get that she’s Scottish and I do love a good Scottish accent but I just do not understand half of what she says. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ She’s be even better.

    Good concept But
    I like the content and the concept of the show. Just feel like the hosts don’t seem genuine or they are trying to hard to sound happy or excited. Almost like talking to children. A more chilled out conversation would be spot on .

    Great idea, poor execution
    I like the content of the show, but the hosts yell too much. It’s hard to listen to. I prefer shows in which participants have a natural conversation.

    Good content, condescending hosts
    The content is good and I am sure they cover some very good questions on the show. The hosts talk like their talking to toddlers and it's awkward and condescending. Good basic idea, horrible execution.

    Not what I expected
    I was hoping for a show similar to the f1 tech show by the race, but focusing on other aspects of f1. Unfortunately the topics are quite basic so far and seems like it’s really geared towards new fans.

    Finally!
    I’ve been following F1 loosely over the years but never understood all of the intricacies. I’m excited to tune into a podcast that breaks it all down so it’s not so intimidating.

    Not for the Experienced F1 Fan
    Gave it two shows before reviewing. It’s a decent pod for the F1 novice. For the seasoned vet, there’s not much to learn here.

    Better F1 Podcasts
    Repetitive information, female host has awkward and contrived laughter throughout. Heavy editing makes the conversation flow unnatural. In a market flooded with F1 podcasts,much better options out there (Missed Alex)

    Hard pass..
