Customer Reviews
(Harry Benjamin and Jack Aitke) on qualifying for the Saudi Arabian GP is what this show should be
I listen to this podcast regularly. Last year I got increasingly irritated as so much time was spent discussing why Max Verstappen and Red Bull are so dominant. The rest of the drivers and teams were often reduced to a few minutes in a show. However, that’s where the action happened in 2023. This last episode on the qualifying to the Saudi Arabia, Grand Prix 2024 gives me hope. A well rounded discussion covering the most noteworthy aspects. Please continue like that.
Bitter
Can’t stand Alice Powell, get rid. She’sso bitter and spiteful and clearly doesn’t like Max Verstappen. Jenny & Harry do a good job keeping things balanced.
Good pod
Listen, I do like F1 I’m not paying sky money to watch. I just want the episodes sooner. It’s hard when you see the results and then the following day you get the story
