Gotta say you guys sound kinda burnt out and grumpy about the Shanghai GP. Hope you can be more positive going forward….

Your preview of the Chinese Grand Prix was so depressing and drab, I’m usually super excited hearing this podcast… your personal opinions on China really bought down the mood of the podcast and really did not get us excited about the race weekend… formula 1 races around the world and brings all...Read full review »

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.

There is a certain tendency to complain about the racing, which grates of you ask me. Too bad, because they know what they are talking about and the analysis is great.

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...Read full review »

Jeez, the negative sentiment towards the Austrian company and their Dutch star driver is cringe af. Give them the respect and stop downplaying every accomplishment. Support F1, without all the negativity. Our drivers are competing at the top, be glad they have some competition at that level.

You realize many of us travel a lot for work and always have vpns on? So stupid how you block those networks and we can’t listen

Was a great podcast with news and analysis of races, and after race chat with drivers. Now its gossip, what the drivers are wearing, and Mercedes pr sponsored Not impartial bbc coverage long gone, Very saddening
cybericed via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/05/24
These guys know a lot about F1 do know their facts in order, but the merry banter, the inside jokes and postulated rivalry has become kinda repetitive and predictable over the years, but it’s always interesting listening to the drivers, the people around F1 and all the politics.
Den Moderne Mand via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 04/05/24
Good when they actually talk about racing. Seems to be a very clear agenda against Horner. Only thing they talked about in the last few episodes
jd604 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/21/24
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.

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...Read full review »

Why is no one on this podcast acknowledging the seriousness of the Red Bull employee’s claims and the disgraceful way she’s been treated for speaking out about her own harassment?
caitlinlorrainejohnson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/24
Used to be good but they concentrating on “off track” speculation rather that F1. I expected more from The BBC F1 team.
864fgn via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/08/24
Pod team wants to spend the whole show talking about real or invented gossip versus discussing the on track racing.
SoCalCuster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
Listening to the vacuous Jennie Gow slobbering all over Sir Lewis is a waste of time. The entire panel takes turns fellating LH. Sam Bird has been a very positive addition but has now received the memo and is a typical sycophant. Rosanna, Harry and Alice. I literally couldn’t make it 2 minutes...Read full review »
Michigan Man2216 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
Massive British biased and hate towards Perez. If it was any of the British boys they’d be all over them. Very disappointing podcast. Absolutely disappointing how much they make it obvious that Perez is on Red Bull.
Alfonzy23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/24
Great podacast to hear journalists complain about the performance of the race winner and how early they had to get up to watch a race not on a daytime GMT schedule.
TitleSafe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
In the Bahrain preview you told us who was talking on the Podcast 4 times!! Why ? We aren’t stupid and have goldfish memories. It’s boring and annoying. When is Jennie back ? Good knowledge and info etc etc on the podcast but Rosanna please talk properly and stop doing the annoying teenage girl...Read full review »

Knowing this is a British podcast, I can endure the praise of Hamilton, Mercedes and some British bias. But the way you made a podcast about the investigation results around Horner is a joke. You should first and foremost accept the results as genuine and not repeat 28 times that you hope that...Read full review »
InguPingu12345 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 02/29/24
I’ve always thought this podcast was average at best. However, the latest episode regarding Christian Horner was nothing more than a prejudiced hit job. Considering the man has been found innocent after an extremely detailed investigation, meant nothing to them, they used every dirty journalist...Read full review »

Sorry to say that the island of quality that is a Jenny Gow is losing the battle to be part of a quality product. The latest edition about Horner being cleared seems to consist almost entirely of people insisting that they think he is still guilty of something and calling for personal information...Read full review »

Alice Powell is a terrible addition. Completely out of touch with F1 and re the Horner handling, she sounded genuinely disappointed Horner wasn’t found guilty of misconduct which is entirely unprofessional. How on earth did she get this gig?!
saracen88 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/29/24
I get that this is the BBC, but you can find a myriad of great F1 podcasts with British hosts that provide a much more measured analysis. Thumbs down. I’ll give a 3 star Edit : even worse today. Trying to feast on the Horner non story. 2 stars

Always love listening to this podcast. Really rate their views. I was totally emotional listening to Jennie being back. Can’t wait for the new season to start!
Mabel & Me via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/13/24
This used to be one of the greatest sporting podcasts with Jack, Jolyon, Jennie and Andrew. I listened to every podcast. I would mute the TV and listen in on the BBC-5Live for every practice, quali and race. Although I understand why Jack was removed, it just isn’t the same sadly. It’s a real...Read full review »

Funny and informative! Great to have Jennie back too
Craig_W_ via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/20/23
I love that they point out Max’s negativity about the race as embarassing but ignore the torrent of negativity by so many of their own countrymen. Talk about an embarassment.
MinnesotaMik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/23
So happy you’re back
mozzkid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/23
While I enjoy Rosanna’s presentation on the podcast, it’s great to have Jennie back. She has a way with the boys that makes the conversation more dynamic. Jolyon helps with his opinions (whether you agree with him or not). Thank you. Enjoyed it.
JonJBwills via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/03/23
Rosanna’s enthusiasm is catching, she’s been a great addition to the pod (although I wish Jenny all the best and miss her). Jolyon is pin sharp with his insight and knowledge. Andrew Benson is also always welcome when there. Their commentary on 5live is also very enjoyable. Please keep it up!
Yetiphone4 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/27/23
Bring back Jack! Jack, Jenny & Palmer had lovely podcast chemistry. The new host (I can’t even remember her name!) is okay, but feels formal/rehearsed/bland and would work better as an interviewer.
Psn@9131 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/20/23
The British racist bias makes it impossible to listen. Just trash talking about Perez week after week.. enough is enough. It’s ok to criticize objectively.. but this is just pure racist crap. They would never talk like this about a British driver. Will not listen anymore. Have fun in your little...Read full review »

It’s so good to have Alice’s personal insight on the 5 Live F1 commentary. I hope she will be on the team for the rest of the year.
ian 33 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/17/23
I used to really enjoy this podcast then Jack Nicholls was rightly removed but it was the banter between him and Palmer that really made it listenable. Also the new presenter Rosanna is poor, sounds too posh and too excitable. The one thing that has improved is more Andrew Benson, they should...Read full review »

Pod is in sharp decline. I couldn’t even finish the latest podcast as the topic of conversation from 3 presenters who seemed to have had more than their share of Champagne discussed free fudge and corporate hospitality. This was following one of the most eventful races ever during a season where...Read full review »

Used to be good. Not great but good, but now it’s just metronomic, just padding along a set path of pre-set points. Incredible how a podcast with such great access to be so mediocre. And mediocre is generous. Go listen to missed apex instead
jamisus via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/02/23
Great podcast, but commercials are a bit intens and loud compared to the show itself
Martijn987532 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 07/30/23
Used to look forward to this for a deeper analysis but it’s just formulaic now - running through the same points as in the race avoiding any controversy. If you watched the race and initial wrap up commentary then there is no need to listen to this.

The anti red bull bias is palpable

F1 NERD!🤓 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/16/23
This used to be my go to podcast for F1 but it seems to have lost its way. Jolyon is great but the show complains about Max being dominant without considering all the years Mercedes had the dominant car. No one mentioned then how tedious that was. Luckily there are many other F1 podcasts now...Read full review »

Rosanna and that failed driver seem to be mistaken that there is only 1 British driver why do they just concentrate on Hamilton?
adam twynham via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/07/23
What happened to Jack? Is he no longer working Five Live F1? Sorry, if the answer is obvious, I apologize, as I am in the USA, and we don’t get any other BBC F1 content besides the podcast (meaning I can’t listen to the actual races).
Daveth1218 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/23
I just wish I could find another source for live audio on race days. Absolute self-flatulating diatribe from the bbc as always!
No Customer Consideration via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/03/23
This podcast used to be my favourite because Jennie, jack, jolyon and Andrew were very good presenters but now we have lost jack and I do not know if Jennie will come back this podcast is going downhill fast!
AlfAA Cadbury via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/30/23
Nothing special. I enjoyed Jennie Gow as host more than Rosanna. I’m just less of a fan of her banter on F1. She rarely talked f1 specs or strategy on F1TV and was super annoying. Unfollowing this show now. Guests and are okay.
Claudinho07 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/30/23
Now much worse after they’ve started shoehorning adverts about completely unrelated BBC shows at random points
