Customer Reviews
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!! :-)
