Customer Reviews
Fast and Curious
Christian knows his stuff, and is informative and interesting with his knowledge. (Can we say Geek?! But IS interesting! and puts it over very well.) Betty is obviously sport - but not as F1 as Christian - and can, and does add information, and asks the questions we, the listener also want answers to! Noted she asked Cristian how HE felt after they spoke to Lewis Hamilton about inclusion. A moving and personal response. Excellent!! They work well together! And there’s Greg in there sometimes! 😄
Too positive
Right so first off, these three a good listen usually and have a nice amount of humour. They also get decent interviews with drivers and people in F1.
However, they seem to be immune from criticising anyone. Part of this I guess is because they want to keep good relations with Teams and Drivers so they can keep their good access, but I feel like they will never say a bad word about a driver even if they are having a shocking performance.
For example, if someone has a bad weekend they may say “XXX had a poor weekend but they are really showing promise and need to keep doing what they are doing”. When in fact it’s been a poor season and they shouldn’t even be in F1.
Guys just be a bit more critical - not everything is nice and rosey all the time.
