Grid Talk F1 Podcast Bleav Life & Leisure

Great listen every time. I only listen to two F1 podcasts on a regular and I love that you give every driver/team on the grid airtime.

Tom Downey generally makes irritating hot takes- if I had £1 for every time he preempts any recap with ‘I’m not a fan of Hamilton’ I’d have enough to fund a team. It’s tiresome and he’s never particularly explained why he specifically feels the need to repeat this rhetoric so often.

In the most recent episode though he doubles down by referring to a livery triggering his ocd. Does Tom Downey have obsessive compulsive disorder? If not- trivialising what is a debilitating condition for some does nothing for those people.

Other hosts are fab- but I’ve started skipping any episode which features Tom.

Hosts are not knowledgable enough for my liking. Feels unprofessional and a bit slapdash.
