Please do some sound editing
Great, informative podcast, but Andrew Benson’s disgusting lip smacking noises has me fast forwarding through his segments. It would be great if they would get him a different mic or edit out the smacking in post.
Good commentary and insight
Sprint races…… sigh.
Why not take 1 car frm the previous year and rn 1 driver from each teams backup, test or F2 respective friver pools and have a seperatw championship for them and the team.
Gives the up and comers a taste of the F1 cars, sllows thwm to prove themselves and gain experience without jeapordizing the current years championship.
Tgis could also add some fan interest in seeing the next gen drivers, creating fan bases and would likely provide a better race over all. After all, the teams really arent pushing themselves or the cars for 2 points.
Going downhill
Benson needs to go, and they need to quit making it the Red Bull hit-piece show. It’s quite annoying especially when there’s plenty on-track action to discuss. Also, for someone who was a professional racer, Powell has terrible takes and opinions.
Only reason it’s not 1-star is because I enjoy when Palmer and Aitken are on.
