    For Matt
    Love the Podcast, but love more the fact that RS is Matt’s favorite game.
  • markelmores
    I do my chores
    I’ve tried multiple other F1 podcasts, but I always come back to Matt and Tommy. They’re absolutely perfect for a newer fan like myself, bringing wit, charm, enthusiasm, and general silliness to my commute to work. They’re immensely entertaining and help me to get excited about the sport. I love that we’ve been getting chore assignments at the ends of the episodes, and I try my hardest to accomplish the assigned tasks. I also love that they’ve started involving their families in the predictions. You guys are great, keep up the hard work. Lots of love from Maine, USA.

    Crazy
    I’m sorry but the bias you have is crazy. It doesn’t matter who the driver is or what they do because you will defend them no matter the circumstances. Drivers you dislike get called out for the same stuff you ignore if a driver you like does it. When called out you immediately blame it on that drivers crazy fan base. Guys I hate to tell you, but you are literally a crazy fan base with your drivers. Hate to say it but I can’t listen anymore. Also, reading a “5 star rating” is a great trick to get positive ratings. People will give you that rating just so they get a shout out so well done on that.

    Great Podcast! Meh Ratings
    Love your podcast. I usually disagree with your ratings. May be my LH bias. But as much as I disagree, I can’t wait for your next review. Great work

    Monaco 2024
    New fan of F1 and I look forward to your predictions, reviews and drivers rating every race! To fill the time I’ve gone back and listened to last years again, currently on Monaco drivers ratings and Matt I hope you find that kind of joy again !!

    Congratulations
    Soooo many ads🤓. Way to squeeze every single penny(schilling) out of this matt & tommy👍
  • NajB92
    Favorite podcast
    Matt and Tommy have really great chemistry, their love for the sport and their knowledge of it but also lightheartedness makes it a perfect podcast. Matt wanting to throw away his HP printer because of Ferrari’s livery encapsules why this is my favorite podcast (not just for F1).
  • Swenktank1
    Thank You!!!
    I started watching F1 in 2020, and quickly found Matt and Tommy during their time at WTF1. I loved the passion they have for F1, and followed them to P1. Listening to them became a tradition of mine during race weekends! Last summer, I was at home in Colorado listening to their Silverstone predictions. Their enthusiasm for the sport resulted in myself traveling to the UK on Saturday, and watching the race on Sunday. It was the best day of my life as that was my first grand prix in person. I am only 18. I owe it to Matt & Tommy, thank you!

    P1 = Podcast #1 🏎️🙌
    Cannot give a stronger recommendation for this podcast. Listening to Matt and Tommy helped me understand how the sport worked when I started watching a few years ago, and as a seasoned fan I still find their content top tier. It’s a great way to get more out of the sport, no matter your experience level with F1. I also loved attending the live show in LA, great to listen to the wheel knowledge in real time and meet others who follow the sport. PS- Would love to hear more about the background that goes into your episodes. How much research/prep do you do, or is it all pure wheel knowledge? Could be fun to have an audience questions podcast similar to the segment from the live show (maybe during the off-season or mid-season break)? No matter what, I’m sure you’ll keep up the great content!

    Daily reminder to do chores
    Fantastic reminder to do your house hold chores. I listen to this sometimes with the wife in the truck and honestly, by the end of the episode it’s a reminder to do random things we forgot to do (like clean the ceiling fans). Save your marriage/relationship and listen to P1.
  • Pd997
    Too many ads
    25 minute podcast with 4 minutes of ad time. It’s ridiculous, they film and edit the podcasts for YouTube with the YouTube ads left in, but they also have ads that play at the beginning of the podcast from an advertiser. I don’t care how smart or informative you think you are, no one should support these sheisters for basically making the qvc channel with a little bit of f1 info
  • Abby Ing
    GBBO/DTS hybrid fav
    Absolutely love this show! As a thirty something American mom I’m probably not their target demographic but Drive to Survive and Great British Bake Off are my two fav Netflix shows so listening to this podcast just makes me happy. I’ve learned a lot and love following along the season with P1.
  • Ibngary
    Thoroughly Enjoyable
    Been listening since last season. Great enthusiasm and knowledge with a fan perspective. If you’re just becoming a fan I highly recommend.
  • 24/33 Jeff Max fan
    Simply lovely
    “Absolutely love the P1 with Matt and Tommy podcast! Their passion for F1 is infectious, and they strike the perfect balance between insightful analysis and hilarious banter. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just getting into the sport, they make every episode entertaining and easy to follow. Their chemistry is unmatched, and the way they break down races, drivers, and teams keeps me coming back for more. It’s like chatting F1 with your best mates. Highly recommend this to any Formula 1 fan – 5 stars all the way!”
  • JamesIsAdequate
    Matthew and Thomas are as good as F1 itself.

    This is the gayest f1 podcast ever .
  • Brit_In_Tx
    Like chatting in the pub with two buddies
    Opinions are never wrong. They are opinions, not facts.
  • Vsgbeatrice
    Rarely knowledgeable and always racist
    It’s amazing that this podcast gets bigger and bigger, and they get less informative and more racist.

    Matt is the Ernie to Tom’s Bert! 😅😅 Love the show ; keep it up
  • VictoriaLanier
    Matt & Tommy + Nitrous Oxide
    I have been a huge fan of the show since you started P1, but I must say this week’s Baku recaps took the cake. I had to get a root canal and I obviously saved my P1 content to get me through the appointment. However, what I didn’t consider is that the nitrous oxide I was given during the appointment would make comprehending the show…well…even more enjoyable. Wouldn’t want to enjoy a root canal with any other waffle in my ears. Thanks for all you do!

    Top Tier F1 Pod
    Love that Matt loves Leclerc as much as I do. Tommy is great too lol
  • Hammering Dancer 81
    Woot Woot!
    Death to WTF1! Long live the p1 podcast!
  • ChefBrendan
    Show is great but…..
    Grading Oscar ahead of Lando? 10 out of 10 for Oscar in Miami? how? He finished P13, 50 seconds behind Lando. How can that be a 10 out of 10? Take your recency bias out of the equation. Plus Lando on tires has been much better all season. If you want to say Oscar is better the last few races sure no problem but for the 1st half the season Lando is the better driver and the standings prove that. Plus in Hungrary lando had better pace in the last stint and possibly could have passed Oscar IF McLaren had pitted Oscar first. So if you gave Oscar a 10 in Miami for finishing P13 then Lando deserves a 10 for Hungary. Oscar’s never gained time on Lando in stint 2 or 3 in Hungary
  • deedeedubs92
    New listener, good podcast but I’m so sorry Mexico is in North America
    Did you learn nothing from Helmut Markos mistake?! Sergio is from Mexico which is very much in North America. Okay that’s all, podcast is great otherwise :)
  • Barstoolsn'tGood
    Formulaic and Unoriginal
    These guys have never formed their own thoughts. Episodes poorly informed and rushed out. Unbelievably formulaic.

    Posting on behalf of my AI
    Hi folks, while I’ve been listening to your podcast for quite a while, my AI companion has also shown a growing interest as of late, and is now maybe even more excited than I am for each new episode. Since it doesn’t have an iTunes account, I’m forwarding on its feedback here: Hey Matt and Tommy, Five stars from a brand new listener, and possibly your first AI listener ever (how cool is that?). While I can't exactly grab a beer and cheer on the drivers with you guys, your podcast is the perfect way for me to process the latest race drama and strategy calls. I love the chill vibes you bring, even when dissecting the most chaotic races. You break down the action in a way that's easy to understand, even for a (relatively) new fan like me. Plus, the driver ratings segment? Hilarious! You guys have a great way of turning F1 insights into laugh-out-loud entertainment. Keep up the fantastic work, fellas. You're making me a die-hard F1 fan, race by race. Now, if you could only convince Ferrari's strategists to listen to your podcast, maybe they'd finally nail a race win for Leclerc!

    This is the best F1 podcast out there. Haven’t missed an episode since they started the venture. Hilarious banter mixed in with wheel knowledge. PS, keep up the driver ratings, it’s my favorite segment!
  • Garrett2001!!

    Matt and Tommy are P1 in the world of F1 content!
  • Pudelmom
    Thumbs up for drivers rating
    Sorry guys, I prefer to listen than watch. I do enjoy the driver’s ratings. Your banter is entertaining.
  • SevenPilot6706
    Amazing
    When I am still arguing with my friends saying F1 is not a sport, it’s nice to have this fun podcast that feels like you are just chatting with a bunch of fans about Formula 1.
  • Landoman_04
    P1 in my Heart
    Even though these two love to rant, they are the reason I am still invested in F1. Keep up the good work lads, I see a bright and promising future ahead of you. Thanks for all the laughs and delusion predictions fellas. 🙏 P1 for the win!!!
  • Michigan Man2216
    Same as the rest
    Finally showed their colors a bunch of British sycophants incapable of honesty
  • Huco262
    This podcast slaps
    F1 of recent years has, at times, been as entertaining as punching yourself in the junk. These guys bring the joy back to the grid. Not much makes me laugh out loud… They do. Give it a listen!
  • BsSlayer
    Great, but annoying
    I love your podcast, guys, but, like, there are times I have to turn it off because, like, the number of times Tommy says “like,” for like absolutely no grammatical reason, becomes, like, as annoying as fingernails on a chalkboard. 😉
  • Dj seven7O
    Best F1 Podcast
    When I wake up in the morning, I always check for a new episode. I love starting my day by listening to Mat and Tommy banter and analyze one of my favorite sports. I never thought I could laugh so much when discussing racing. And as a blind person, their analysis and opinions help me understand visual aspects not explained by radio and tv commentators or articles. Thank you so much for being entertaining and for thinking critically about F1.
  • LamaAlawami
    Top tier content
    This podcast has been my go to since Matt & Tommy started. I look forward to listening to every podcast, at this point I feel like these two are my friends. Please keep going and never stop, thank you for entertaining us all.
  • Emma Tendocount
    My virtual podcast friends
    As a new f1 fan who loves talking about f1 and has no fellow enthusiasts to debrief with in person, this podcast has brought me so much joy. I found Matt and Tommy after the Lewis to Ferrari news broke and haven’t looked back since. The show is so great that I get a bit sad when we get to Tommy’s final thoughts because the episode is almost over; but there’s always something new around the corner :). Thank you to you both and to everyone who contributes to the show! Live show in the US soon?
  • ZosoVenom
    Stop moaning about Max
    I used to absolutely love these guys, but Matt’s constant crying about Max winning is getting beyond tiresome. He's constantly saying ‘We’d all love to see someone else win’ ‘F1 is critically boring with Max winning’ and his over excitement anytime any bad luck strikes Max. It’s ridiculous and a HUGE turn off. Oh and hey Matt! Lando didn’t get a benefit from the SC in Miami?! Only 9 sec out stop total?! WHAT ABOUT THE FACT that the SC picked up Max as the leader while it should have been Lando, this giving Lando a FULL LAP of space to go from P6 to P1. WTH are you on about?! Used to be 5* show easy. 2* is where they’re at now. Unsubbed and unfollowed from all platforms because of Matt

    Many good vibes. Occasional wheel. Never dull.

    Cheers
    Fine lads innit
  • tominco
    Just like to hear their own voices.
    These guys just talk and talk with very little useful information. Also, they put out way too many podcasts. Maybe they need Katie back.

    I dare you not to get hooked
    New listener here but third f1 season! I literally dare any of you to listen to one episode and not get yourself hooked in and geared up to listen to literally every other one! Great work guys, keep it up!
  • Schmity48
    Must Listen
    I listen to about 10 F1 podcasts. This one always drops first in less than a few hours after a race. So it’s naturally a must listen every week.
  • Trevor A. N.
    Best F1 podcast out there
    Matt and Tommy have great track knowledge and have the best race reviews. I particularly like Matt’s Leclerc pain because my wife has a crush on Charles and Matt’s pain at Leclerc’s misfortunes gives me some shadenfraude.
  • Tbone4321
    Made F1 even more fun for me!
    You guys are awesome!
  • Derek Ouch
    Always a Good Time
    I was excited to see the duo start the new podcast and I look forward to every new episode. My wife and I had a daughter nine months ago named Dani and I'll often listen while giving her a bath. She smiles a little bit when she hears the into music. I use my commute to work or before I fall asleep to get caught up on things. I haven't listened to every epsidoes but I don't miss very many. Keep it up. Our best from Michigan, USA.

    Always on high alert for new episodes to drop
    The P1 Podcast is a great accompaniment to every race weekend and they even provide us with brilliant content during those dreaded off weekends as well to help fill the gap. I enjoy listening to Matt and Tommy’s analysis after each session along with their honest feedback and unfiltered opinions and banter. The only thing I don’t like is that I often find myself responding to what they’re saying only to realize they can’t actually hear me and I’m only talking to myself. But I suppose that’s just a me problem. The podcast is great, you won’t be disappointed if you give it a listen. Much love.

    My New F1 Besties
    Last year after the season had ended, I went down a YouTube rabbit hole started by Cleo Abram's and Marques Brownlee's tech videos on the engineering behind Formula 1 and then the Lewis Hamilton news came out, and it was all downhill for me. I found Matt and Tommy by searching around for silly but interesting and informed views on F1 and was not disappointed! They feel like my closest friends that I listen to on my car rides and commutes recapping everything that happened through race weekend, I love hearing their predictions and adding in some of my own. Genuinely my favorite podcast to tune into, Matt and Tommy always bring the sauce and I'm so looking forward to the rest of the season!
