F1 podcast recommandations

I got into podcasts recently. I know about the official beyond the grid, how is it? Do you have recommandations about others?

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.
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.
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.
Shift+F1 is welcoming for newcomers and I’d second anyone recommending Missed Apex.
Beyond the grid is good. I recommend Bobby kubica episode.
I mostly listen to Shift+F1 and the BBC post race. The BBC show has gotten a lot less good lately but it's still a pretty tight review of the race, usually 30-50 min. They lost Jennie Gow (she had a stroke in January) and she really carried the show.
Dax Shepard is a huge F1 nerd and has a podcast https://armchairexpertpod.com/eff-won-with-drs

Outlap f1 is great for American fans that appreciate other Americans who have been with the sport prior to DtS.

Grid Penalty is great for people who just appreciate a less serious look at the sport.
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?
+1 for Missed Apex if you are looking for more mature, technical discussions with a bit of humor mixed in.
- Used to be a huge fan, but I felt the negativity crept in too much. I don’t mind being pro Lewis at all, but the hate towards Max sometimes is too much. They make it personal. Production is great though, if you are in to that.
  
  Same, not even a Max fan but the hate got to be too much for my taste.
I personally listen to Missed apex, Sky Sports F1 Podcast, Chequered Flag and P1 with Matt and Tommy
DNF podcast. Pretty witty and not too long.
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.
I like semi-serious podcasts. Shift F1 is great for that
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.
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.
I always enjoy Missed Apex
