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.

Used to be great - just good now

Bring back Jack! Jack, Jenny & Palmer had lovely podcast chemistry. The new host (I can’t even remember her name!) is okay, but feels formal/rehearsed/bland and would work better as an interviewer.

Losing focus

Used to be great commentary and insight, latest was more about food, and the reviews are later coming out almost every week.
