    Great show with technical insight a must for F1 fans. Edd doesn’t show hi British Bias which is a huge plus and Gary is the star
  • Hinand
    The quality
    The quality of the episode from March 12,2024 is unlistenable. The episode skips on the end of the guest and the quality you cannot make out what the guest is saying.
  • Keef356435
    Focus on is great
    To counter a previous post- the focus on segments are fantastic. Please keep them coming!

    Great Podcast, Craving Deeper Insights
    Dear F1 Tech Show I’m itching for a deeper dive into the nitty-gritty of how Formula 1 (and other cars for that matter) cars really tick.we’ve all heard the tale of Jordan F1, but let’s dive deeper into the engineering abyss. What is “toe”? when do you adjust camber? How are springs different than dampers? I want ‘F1 Engineering for Dummies’ crash course – and trust me, I’m ready to buckle up and learn.

    Love F1 Tech
    Absolutely love F1 Tech and wish there was more of it. To be honest I’m not feeling the new portion they have added called F1 Focus. I’m going to pass on those episodes but I look forward to the original podcast every other week. Mixing the two is just a bad idea. They should separate the two and give us more with Edd & Gary. Thanks

    My favorite
    My favorite F1 podcast. Love the inside stories from the people who were there. Love hearing about all the cool little tricks and clever ways they skirted the rules. And unlike most British media, they aren’t super biased towards Mercedes. Gary Anderson is the best, he’s really been there and done that. Love his feedback. Great stuff, waiting anxiously for the new season.

    I love Gary’s insight
    Great insight about F1 and gives me my F1 fix until the next race. Ed Straw and Gary Anderson are very knowledgeable and I learn something new every week.

    First iTunes Review
    Wow, can't believe there is not any review up yet because this show is fantastic! I love the technical content and the wisdom Gary (+co-hosts) bring from their years of F1 experience.
