Loving F1 🏎 ,

Great but with a British bias

The good:
✅Podcast comes out on time every-time.

✅Palmer and Nicholls are pretty good.

✅Gow has a British bias, however she doesn’t pretend she is unbiased and wears her heart on her sleeve (plus it is the BBC) so that’s all fine.

The bad:
❎Unfortunately, Benson is incredibly biased and pro Lewis to a fault.

❎Seem to forget Mercedes was the dominant car from 2014-2020, winning the championship with multiple races to spare. I’m sorry, but 2021 is the only year they’ve been in a title fight.

Benson is the best

I love listening to Andrew Benson. He is most insightful considered, accurate and immaculate in his analysis. A true treasure!

Not for now..

Used to rate this a 5 and was an essential listen over a GP weekend.
Must say tho, I’m currently boycotting til Jennie gets back; she was the brains and heart of this podcast. Jolyon’s worth listening to but basically the lads are shrill wankers. So I guess it’s back to Damon & Pinks for a bit...
Get well soon Ms Gow!! :-)
