I got into podcasts recently. I know about the official beyond the grid, how is it? Do you have recommandations about others?
Haven’t seen the EngineBraking podcast mentioned. It’s 2 ex-F1 staff (performance/sim engineer and something in IT systems) and they always have good analysis.
They have a RB bias, but they’re aware of it and regularly call it out, as well as trying to pick a new team each week to follow.
I also don’t hate the Pitstop podcast, which is 2 guys who got into F1 just over a season ago. It’s interesting to hear things from a completely new fans perspective. They also have really good guest interviews with the lesser known people of F1. They are new to the sport and definitely have some opinions that will make any long time watcher cringe, but they’re fun to listen to.
EngineBraking is great. Good mix of comedy and actual practical F1 knowledge.
+1 for Missed Apex if you are looking for more mature, technical discussions with a bit of humor mixed in.

Same, not even a Max fan but the hate got to be too much for my taste.
Interesting, I never got that feeling. They are generally pretty upfront about their biases so it never bothered me I guess.

They have toned it down. Post 2021 season ending they received a lot of flak and have owned up to it. This is why they bring in a Dutch guest Jules Seegers often to even the tides (even though he isn’t a die hard Max fan).
I started listening to them at the start of the 2022 season and personally don’t feel that they have any hate towards Max. It’s just that if you aren’t a Verstappen fan it’s hard to get excited about his performance when he wins every race.

P1 with Matt And Tommy is personal favourite, but there are many others. I suggest just try different ones unti and see what works for you.
I like semi-serious podcasts. Shift F1 is great for that
I’m a big fan of BBC Radio 5 Live’s F1 Chequered Flag podcast.
+1, especially when Jolyon Palmer is on. He’s also great on the F1TV feed when he occasionally does commentary.
Missed Apex, Box of Neutrals, The Parc Ferme, For F1’s Sake (for the banter), and ShiftF1 are the ones I spend my time with.
Really like Missed Apex podcast. That’s the in I look forward to listening the most.
Shift+F1 is welcoming for newcomers and I’d second anyone recommending Missed Apex.
Chequered Flag from BBC is quite good.
The Donut Racing Show is pretty good. It’s a little silly at times but they have started putting out weekly shows now. On non-race weeks they’ll do shows on history or F1 politics.
In no particular order my top ten:
- F1 nation
- Beyond the grid
- F1 nation
- Chequered flag
- Late Braking
- Missed Apex
- The Race F1 tech show
- The Race F1
- Sky Sports F1
- Bring back V10’s
If you had a gun to your head and had to choose just one, which would you go for?
I’m personally a fan of P1 with Matt and Tommy. Used to listen to their stuff when they were with WTF1 and followed them to P1 when they left.
Sky sport F1 also have a weekly podcast.

Tommo’s Racing Chinwag
He basically does a podcast before and after every race. Looking forward to it on every rave weekend

Personally I like P1, it’s very light-hearted, but it’s what I like for F1 since being serious about millionaires driving expensive cars around is silly to begin with. In the most fun wat possible ofcourse.
