Just wanted to pay a compliment to the March 31st, 2025 episode. Best discussion in a while.

Please please please boost the output volume for the final edit of the show. So much quieter than anything else I listen to. When I’m on my motorcycle can’t hear a thing when all other pods are fine.

These ads are insufferable. Just give them all at once and piss off. Ads to start, multiple in between, and they even sneak them in at the very end. Also, the music is insufferably bad, has been for a while now

Good podcast, includes driver interviews and in depth analysis however I do feel like a lot of the people on the podcast hype and love Daniel Ricciardo way too much and that can be annoying.

Can’t find a more fun and informative listen on the great sport of F1!

It is disappointing how F1 media outlets manipulate the information to cast a negative light on some pilots, like Checo or Bottas when he was at Mercedes, while ignoring their achievements and rankings. For example, Checo Perez just listen the rankings and pilot championships totally not objective He is currently second in the drivers’ championship, ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. He is also the first Mexican driver to win a Formula 1 race since Pedro Rodriguez in 1970. However, he is barely mentioned or praised by some journalists, who instead focus on the negative aspects of his performance. This is not acceptable. Consistency and objectivity should be the pillars of journalism. These guys are masters on doing that…..old school its more outside the box that they are missing. Tom Clarkson and Will Buxton

Good Podcast but they have certain people on each episode that are “fan boys” of certain teams. Each week we have to listen to Pedro tell us how great Aston and Fernando are it gets tiring.

The podcast is fine. There are better ones not officially associated with f1 but it’s fine. But I have to unsubscribe because on the handful of times I’ve had to wait to watch the race they have spoiled it by alluding to or flat out naming the winner in the title of the episode. I’m returning from a trip tonight two days after the race. I’ve been looking forward to being home and watching I’ve managed to stay off social media and my news feed only to have it ruined because I had the nerve to open my podcast app.

Generally a good podcast but D. Hill is really hard to listen to. His antiquated takes leave a lot to be desired and doesn’t even pay attention to what is being discussed! Tom is taking about Ferrari winning in Austria last year (mentioned more than once) and when it’s thrown back to Hill, he has no idea what Tom is talking about. More Tom, less Hill.

Anyone who prides themselves on being a “bad guy” and a known “hot head”, let alone is as arrogant and ungrateful as he appears to be, there are ZERO appealing traits he exhibits. He seems very hostile with his remarks. He knows he’s aging out of the sport and clearly doesn’t care who he backstabs on the way out. He’s a terrible representative for his team AND the sport overall. Very disappointing. Favorite driver is Lewis. Who can argue with that? He is pure class.

Damon genuinely has good advice because of his experience a driver and a champion. Unfortunately he is a complete clown who STILL can’t get over Max beating his queen Lewis. Tom Clarkson has been around forever and is a great interviewer. Soft spoken and he lets the guests speak. The most fair by far. Natalie is absolutely shrill and terrible. Her reasoning about women in F1 was so ignorant. Have you seen how women perform in the lower categories against young men? Not well. Not even close to well. How about in any sport against men? The US women’s soccer team got steam rolled by 15 year old boys. W series champion couldn’t hold a candle in F4/3 either. Speaking of W series and equality, Natalie, do you think it’s fair that the W series pays for EVERYTHING for the drivers AND rewards them with $500,000 for winning? When the male series don’t offer a cent and demand they bring their own money/sponsors? Why do women need to have their hand held? That’s not equality. Men are physically superior. The physical differences is one of the main reasons why women are not competing at the sharp end of racing. This is why you see the mentally ill men who identity as ‘women’ absolutely dominate women sports. If there is a woman that can, and she can get there on MERIT, then she would be welcome with open arms. Not some PR stunt that they have tried throughout the years. Look how poorly women did in F2/3/4/etc. Overall the podcast is worth a listen. Especially when Natalie is not on. The podcast has tanked in quality. The bitterness towards Max makes it unlistenable.

It’s still a decent listen.

Overall, a very good show which provides a great recap of the previous race weekend and a look toward upcoming races. The hosts touch on F1 news and generally provide insightful opinions. All with the exception of Natalie. Natalie plays a nearly pointless role on the show. She asks dull questions of Tom and Damon, usually ones with a totally boring or obvious answer. When asked her opinion of things, such as who she thought was at fault for the Bottas/Russell crash at Imola, she totally skirts the question and doesn’t provide an answer. Instead she deflects to boring and already discussed talking points such as “the halo is so important, I’m just glad they’re all safe, etc”. She also continuously chimes in with child like noises and responses. In addition to everything else I have stated about her, she has a totally unprofessional opinion of Yuki Tsunoda. She talks about him in ways that if a man were to talk about that of a woman, especially in broadcasting, they would be fired and never work again. And don’t get me started about her poor broadcasting in the recent FP1 sessions. In short, Natalie should be replaced and at the very least not renewed on the podcast (or FP1) at the end of the season.

Good show!

I see all these other F1 podcasts winning awards, I try them, and some are good, but this one is simply the best. The experienced insight and access to F1 is unparalleled. Thanks and all the best!

It feels like the sound editing is made by a 12 year old self taught editor who will make gaming montages to post on YouTube.

Real, smart, unbiased F1 commentary. The best one by far with actual interviews and intelligent insight.

I really wanted to like this podcast but Damon Hill is unbearable to listen to. His ‘British Bias’ comes out in almost everything he says. There are so many ex drivers who could do a far better job. Its a shame because I really like Pinkham

Less Natalie, please

Favorite podcast! And absolutely adore Natalie Pinkman!!

with all due respect to Damon Hill, it seems this podcast is always hyping up this guy. & Natalie is my favorite of the bunch.

Race predictions and track commentary? ✅ Post race interviews from the paddock? ✅ Random guests popping by to chat? ✅ Lots of laughs by TC, Pinks, and Damon? ✅ Enjoy this pod- it’s time we’ll spent!

Such a great podcast! Love the new format, love hearing all the guests from Sunday post race!

The hosts appear oblivious to their British bias. Which at times renders the podcast unbearable.

No political ads!!!!!

Gotta love these people! Good people,doing good things, for good people… That sums it up! Really?

Great journalists and truly entertaining. But don’t listen if yore looking for a deep dive without biases and for people that will actually look at the issues of a race from all angles. For example, you won’t find any criticism of the sprint races here (which for the record, I like). But there’s very little criticism of FIA when it’s deserved or criticism of F1 when they’re being motivated by money.

I find the 3 commentators on this podcast usually so interesting not to mention well spoken. What a disappointment then that not a word was uttered about the controversy in the season finale. I kept wondering if it’s because they’re sponsored by F1. Not sure if they are but imagine so. How could they not want to delve into not so much the politics of the race but the experience of having such an important one decided the way it was? Isn’t there more than simply winning? Sad not to hear more from this source. I especially love Damon Hill’s insights.

Well now we know how one-sided and dismal the commentary will be when F one TV is the only show in town. Can’t bite the hand that feeds you. Too bad Liberty Media wasn’t smart enough to allow their commentaries to be critical of the FIA. The whole review of the last race and never a mention of Masi.

How do you give an episode that title and not even discuss the safety car situation, besides vague mentions of “controversy?” Were you told not to discuss it? If so I have even less faith in F1 than I already had. This isn’t just about Lewis, it’s a terrible precedent that threatens fairness in the sport. I’m very disappointed and unsubscribing.

The lack of discussion about the extraordinary misapplication of the rules at Abu Dhabi is a joke.

Clearly told by the FIA to immaculately report on the last race.

Absence of meaningful discussion on the controversial restart. Silence on that was deafening.

Didn’t even acknowledge the calls that lead to the end of the race and world championship. It’s not that they had a bad opinion, they just pretended it didn’t happen. Not journalism, just fluff pieces for Liberty Media. Not worth your time.

they’ve obviously had their jobs threatened by the FIA. absolutely pathetic, detestable coverage of the 2021 F1 season-ender from tom, natalie and damon. no mention (zero) of the race director tearing up the rulebook on the last lap of the last race of the season which gave an otherwise impossible disadvantage to a driver who was about to lose the championship, when meanwhile the rest of the F1 world is talking about literally nothing else. give it a listen if you’d like to hear some absolutely spineless coverage from 3 of the sport’s most visible journalists, normalizing a 70 year old sport’s crooked new practice of making up the rules as they go along in order to maximize ratings and american sponsorship money.

I love listening to all of hot F1 takes but I only rated this pod a 3 star because week after week it is SO hard to listen to them gushing over mediocre performances put in by British drivers. ANYONE else could have the drive of their lives and it would be all “but wasn’t that a brilliant drive by Lewis/George/Lando?” As a fan from a country without driver representation it is BEYOND annoying. I would like it a lot more if they tried to be more well rounded.

This guy just likes to lick Hamilton’s race boots, get him out, seriously

I enjoyed listening to this podcast and feel mostly it was fair and balanced. Unfortunately there is a frustrated ex-driver (Damon) who is an absolute Lewis fanboy and ruins the podcast with his ranting. Continuously criticizing anything Max does and saying how brilliant Lewis is…. Now that is going to the wire that behavior is becoming unbearable. We understand you are British and favor Brits but your ‘how’ is pushing all non-Lewis fans away. Please put a balanced, preferably non British ex-driver in his place to get a more balanced , fair, fun and factual podcast!! Thanks

The wrap-up of the Mexican GP has been the best episode of the podcast yet!! Recording in the paddock and able to do quick interviews with so many key players in F1 was phenomenal. Please do it again!

Great podcast. Hilarious pronunciation of “Honda.” Drink every time they say Hon-der.

Three pretentious and whiny Brits complain about non british drivers while refusing to criticize F1 or British drivers. Pinkman, Clarkson, and Damon Hill are absolute muppets. Dont waste ur time

TC and Pink are tolerable, but oh man DH might as well be a squire of LH.

Major British bias for sure: everything Hamilton does is golden, and Max should just back off all the time. After Silverstone they gently tried to get a Dutch journalist to agree with them that Max should've backed off during that race, but after Monza argued Hamilton had his nose ahead and Max should've backed off that race too, even though Max had his nose ahead at Silverstone when that crash happened. Since I'm American I can see this kind of favoritism a mile away. Regardless, it's a good podcast!

Insightful from a drivers perspective also entertaining from a fans perspective but painful to hear all three of them consistently towing the F1 line and seemingly never go against biased F1A’s decision making, the archaic rules or ever against the golden child prince Hamilton and his royal Mercedes teams.

DH is THE MAN, never thought he’d be as great a storyteller as he was a driver! BTW, LOVED the P dl Rosa interview, had no idea he was such a funny guy!

Seems like they make attempts to reduce the British bias. If F1 is trying to engage more fans outside the UK I ’d recommend a stronger attempt.

These people find every way to blame Sir Lewis for everything that happens on track. Another driver’s actions was the fault of Sir Lewis for not backing out, or not thinking about points, or not thinking about his car, or not thinking about the race remaining or the rest of the season. Jeez, it’s quite tedious how many things are Sir Lewis’ fault. Whilst simultaneously finding every reason to forgive the actions and words of Max. I am not saying you can’t have a biased show, but let me know ahead of time so I can choose whether or not to tune in.

As an American fan of F1 I think I can explain the strong Hamilton bias in TC’s commentary of late in ice hockey terms that should make sense to all hockey dans new to F1. The Brits are to F1 what the Canadiens are to hockey, entitled and dirty. I enjoy the show. But please before you decry the behavior of the crowds look at Silverstone 2016. In the words of Alex Albon: Sore Losers

As an F1 fan without any significant rooting interests, this show’s unrelenting bias towards the British teams and figures in the sport borders on insufferable. I’ve tried hard to like this show too.

Good show, loads of good info and insight. Very Mercedes/British driver biased views. This turns what would be an amazing show into a somewhat irritating one at time. Still not bad though.
