I used to look forward to this pod every week before it came out because of the banter, and being new to F1, I thought everyone played their role perfectly from Jethro being the brains explaining the sport to everyone else knowing a bit but trying to voice their opinion, which was the heart of the whole pod in my opinion.
Ever since it’s come back and rebranded without Dax you can definitely feel everyone’s energy has dropped a couple of points. They all seem unprepared and just satisfied to broadcast subpar opinions and meh takes. Dax seemed to have brought strong opinions no matter how controversial it was and the show was about everyone trying to either talk him down or strongly agree on his take. Once that voice is gone everyone just seems to agree with each other leaving a very middle of the road experience to listen to.
They might just be trying to get their groove back, and I hope they can recapture the first year magic. I would love to at least see more preparation (remember your weekly P10 picks) and COME UP WITH A SIGN OFF INSTEAD OF SAYING DAX USED TO SAY THIS COZ IT’S SO LAME.
