I used to listen regularly, then last season I got sick of spanners last year. (I get it, Lewis Hamilton does for our sins and is to be worshipped. I got it) I thought I’d give this pod another chance, but it’s no different. When spanners is gone, maybe I’ll come back. But then again, I probably won’t know he’s gone, so…..

You are doing a disservice to the F1 listeners by not challenging Spanners on his opinion regarding Max’s Quali lap in Japan. Please listen to other drivers and f1 true experts.

Solid F1 talk and deep dives without misleading gossip or hyper. Meg and Spanners bring enough knowledge to the table to make topics interesting without getting too technical striking a good balance for both longtime and newer fans. Healthy doses of sarcasm bring good fun, don't listen to the reviewers crying about tinfoil hat conspiracy theories... they don't know how sarcasm works

These people treat George Russell like he’s a complete bum and Lewis Hamilton is the second coming in 2025 when George beat him head to head (even with getting an entire race taken away!) ANYWAY it’s weird to see this much bias I miss Kevin.

Great fun on a weekly basis, love the British / American mix, and both Meg and Spanners sarcasm and love for the sport. Keep this group going for the 2025 season ringer staff!

The Ringer F1 show used to be a breath of fresh air, a uniquely American take on F1 in a sea of mostly British voices. Now, I like Spanners—even with his conspiracies—he is entertaining and at least has some self awareness to his highly opinionated… opinions (allow myself to introduce…myself). In a sea of F1 podcasts though, whats the point in listening to this one now when I could be listening to Missed Apex? It was great when Spanners dropped in once jn a while and you had different guests but now I fail to see the point. Love Megs but that’s not enough. DITCH SPANNERS IN 2025

I am an obsessed fan of F1 so I will listen to anything regarding F1 this is painful and so lacking in facts - way to fluffy and these folks do not know the rules - I have tried a few times to give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s simply not lovely.

Liked it better with the previous hosts. Spanners is off on his tinfoil hat conspiracy theories but tries to cover it by saying he doesn't believe there's a conspiracy even though he keeps bringing it up. Own it, dude.

Good vibes, very enjoyable listen! Spanners brings the British dad humor and Meg brings the hot midwestern wifey material energy

Really loving the show since they went to Meg and Spanners! As a DTS baby, been following the sport for about 4 years now, their recaps are my must go to after races. Keep up great work!

I don’t know how Meg does it. Spanners never fails to remind her how long he has been watching F1, implicitly highlighting his superior fandom as compared to newer fans. He also never misses an opportunity to belittle Meg’s commentary. He is a completely ungracious subject matter expert, and spoils their potential chemistry as a result. Spanners has caused me to no longer listen to this pod. Check out BBC’s Chequered Flag for professional, collegial commentary!

Keep them out of your commentary, be mature adults.

Every episode delivers, especially with Meg and Spanners Ready.

The host has def been working on their presentation skills. The program seems more natural. Happy to tune in! Also, having Spanners in is pretty cool!

An awesome F1 podcast, really enjoy Meg and Spanners together

Just think if someone was reviewing hard knocks and purposefully didn’t watch the nfl. That’s Jodi Walker. Not a fan of the sport. Just a fan of talking

It pains me to say this because the host seems very nice and likable but when you don’t do anything on Bahrain testing and instead you do a 2 part DTS pod, might as well admit you’re not actually into the racing and this podcast is just a product of the Ringer’s leadership’s Netflix algorithms… wish a large podcast company would give a legitimate platform to racing of all series.

Let me get this right. We have livery previews, car launches and the first time we’ve seen cars on track for the first time in months and the content we’re getting is a review of DTS?

Meg and Spanners are the winning combo. The podcast has improved so much from when it started!

I feel like all good podcasts have one grounded, relatable host and one opinionated, off the wall 'guest' and this show has really found that balance with Meg and Spanners. I really appreciate Meg asking the questions Im thinking about and Spanners is my favorite old school f1 uncle telling me how it used to be. Thanks for making the season better!

Helps me get through the afternoon slog at work on mondays! A genuine treat to listen to

The best F1 podcast I've found. Spanners and Meg do a great job previewing/recapping. Their conversation and banter comes across as very natural and I love how they can get into the minutiae of each race, techincal details etc... while still keeping things light.

Love it!

I love listening to this podcast after each race. Spanners as guest is always a treat.

Love listening to these two banter and always interested in their opinions.

The perfect F1 podcast for American fans!

Love Meg, love this show.

Easily the most enjoyable F1 podcast. The combo of Meg and Spanners makes for an incredibly enjoyable and informative F1 pod. Meg provides the hardcore F1 journalism and Spanners, the hot takes, brilliant insights, and zero Mercedes bias.

Podcast is amazing, Meg is a midwestern treasure!

I love the cross-cultural perspectives offered by each of them! Great show and analysis! I look forward to it every week.

This is a must listen for any F1 fan. I especially enjoy the race recaps with Spanners. He brings so much inside knowledge to the show

Look forward to this pod every Monday after a race. Much more entertaining and informative than the same old same old NFL pods.

F1 content that’s timely, fun, and honest. Spanners - never change.

Best F1 podcast out there. Great commentary and recap on the races and team transactions. Also not too technical for us new F1 followers.

Clark is gone, but that only means more Spanners. Spanners explains the races the way a novice like me understands. Meg is great at keeping him on the track

Meg and Spanners are great, awesome duo The Ringer in general has some amazing podcasts.

Nice balance between F1 European pundit (Spanners) whose knowledge goes back to history relevant to current F1 (80s and beyond), with American host who ask intelligent questions (and make observations) about F1 culture and strategy.

Great insight and attention to detail for us in the Drive to Survive generation. Good amount of tech talk and supplying the drama nuggets that others lack. Everything you’d expect from the Ringer team. Only suggestion would be to incorporate a Ryen Russillo guest appearance once a year. *#1 F1 pod in my heart

Love this podcast. Love spanners from missed apex. I actually am more impressed with Megan. She does a fantastic job hosting the show and her passion for F1 is infectious. I know KC left but still my favorite show !

I always listen to this show post race. Spanners brings great insights every race review!

Love it. Don’t be shy to get more into the technical and driver strategy side of things.

I love Meg and Spanners. Thankfully it’s audio only so we don’t have to see Uncle Spanner’s head that looks exactly like a potato. If you want an F1 pod that isn’t too serious but still gives good analysis, try this one out.

Always the first podcast I listen to after a race. Fun banter with great analysis.

I’m an F1 novice and enjoy them explaining some of the finer points and narrative

RIP to clarky boy and thanks to him for getting me listening, but Spanners and Meg have great rapport and get these race reviews up incredibly quickly

Dance away, Spanners! Always enjoyable and insightful.

Good chemistry between Meg and Spanners - keep it up

Spanners asked nicely for listeners to leave a review, and I appreciate his straight forward approach.

Just became a new F1 fan, and have enjoyed the podcast! Good job explaining the nuances of the sport but also sounding entertaining

When this show is hosted by Meg with Spanners as the guest, it’s the best F1 podcast. When it is hosted by Kevin, it’s the worst. Give Meg the permanent hosting role.
