10:20 Ooh, nice propagandizing fake news, that the EV market is shrinking. How trumpian of you.
The FIA answer was cut from the podcast? silence from about 39:55 till 41:10 ... 🤷♂️
Bryn's mike is a bit 'hot'.
#1 senna at donnington 93 #2 senna at Monaco 84 #3 senna at estoril 85
Eduardo Freitas is Portuguese not french! Mitigation is quite acceptable in Portuguese.
Genius you gave away the winner in the description! Not great for fans on the other side of the world who have to watch it the next day!!!
dirty racing from Crashtappen like usual
great podcast. I grew up as a family member of the getem team who are still going. great memories
racing incident. max was 33 pts in the lead yet didn't play it safe at all and assumed Lewis would be able to hug the Apex. lewis is more at fault but not entirely.
JBL, please make sure you have no halogen or a light on a dimmer running. The EM noise gets on to the audio.
12:02 A lot of subsonic noise on Jess' audio. You'd think she is banging her first on the table and the mike is right there.
If those are the fans of people's laptops spinning, they should ask a techie ( IT or a friend who's a geek) to remove the dust buildup from their heatsinks. Sometimes it forms into a strip of felt.
she has to be the best female racing driver ever right?
Give someone a stress ball or another silent play object, because whatever is clicking, it's bloody annoying.
I am unsubscribing to this podcast due to the blatant favoritism toward Mercedes. Yes, they have a successful program and have done a great job of putting together a well rounded team. However, the digs and jabs at Ferrari powered teams is getting old. Whatever happened with their power unit last year, that is between them and the FIA. Also I have notice the occasional dismissal of Red Bull and a lack of highlighting Max and Alex's progress up the grid.
appreciate them not putting spoilers in the title unlike the f1 YouTube channel
great to hear Jess. she was my favorite part of Wtf1. hope she can get over her hatred for Bottas tho lol jk
As we now have Albion in a RB , it does seem like they want to test him, to see if he is 2020 material. If he isn't, then we might get Kvyat?
David Evans needs to re-up his game.
With everything happening in WRC, you can also give us some real interesting insight! Diversify your content guys. We all love F1, but your talks are getting repetitive and predictable. Very.
