Unusually interesting chat with Max

The chat with Max about Adrian Newey was much better than the often bland blurb from him. Ironic given he was talking about such a classy quiet man.

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.
