What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve tried out a ton of F1 pods over the years and this one is consistently the best. They’re knowledgeable but also far enough from the official media beat that they give you their honest opinions and aren’t afraid to joke around or be critical for F1/FIA/teams at times. They have great chemistry and I love the representation/diversity of the panels.

1987tws1987 · Mar 2026

These guys saw me through the long, cold, dark winter between Abu Dhabi and Australia. Great tech talk but still fun. And Spanners’ language rules mean I can listen around my kids! (If you can, kick them a few bucks on Patreon, 100% with it! Best motorsports value on there.)

Danimal245 · Mar 2026

I really enjoy the banter on this podcast, but Mr Tooorumpets comes off as the epitome of the phrase “well, actually…”. He seems to disagree on almost any topic it is possible to disagree on (which I know can make for some conversation) and he sounds like a ‘know-it-all’ to me whenever he speaks. Love most of the guests they have on each week. Also, while Spanners has some hot takes sometimes, he really is a great host and is fun to listen to.

Scftke · Feb 2026

I really enjoy some of the Missed Apex guests - particularly Antonia, Trumpets, Christina, Stuffey, Chris, and Christian. But Spanners is a problem. He frequently makes completely incorrect statements as if they are gospel, without bothering to do any fact checking from legitimate sources, and never corrects himself later. He seems to put all energy into ragebaiting others and spouting off hot takes. In an age of constant misinformation, he is part of the problem. This podcast could be so good if it had a primary host who put effort into doing some minimal research and taking accountability for what comes out of his mouth. Unfortunately this has caused me stop listening to this podcast.

I’ve tried to give this show a fair shake, but Matt Trumpets is single-handedly dragging it down. Every episode turns into a performance where he plays the contrarian just to sound clever—he’ll contradict panel members on the most trivial points, then smugly “well-actually” them into the ground. His voice itself is grating: a nasal, faux-authoritative cadence that makes every sentence feel like a lecture you didn’t sign up for. Worst of all, he nit-picks microscopic details that have zero bearing on the topic, derailing conversations so he can flash his trivia-badge. Instead of adding insight, he’s become a speed-bump the host has to swerve around every ten minutes. The podcast would be twice as listenable if he simply stopped showing up.

chutney duniya · May 2026

Every time Antonia is on an episode it gets harder to listen to. Every time I try to put one on to give her another chance, I have to turn it off a quarter way through. I understand the thinking behind having her on to reach a broader and younger audience, but it ultimately waters down the quality of the show. Female voices and different perspectives are important in to hear in F1 media - please find one that works better with the show and its otherwise funny and talented panel.
