Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- This week we're joined by the face and voice of Drive To Survive and F1 TV Will Buxton for a catch-up on the season so far and to dive deep into the history of F1 (thanks to his new book Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1).
He covers some serious ground from the spark that got him into the sport, to who he's looking forward to seeing come through the ranks in the next few years.
There's also a chance to get his views on Lando Norris' chances of catching Mx Verstappen, some Drive To Survive behind-the-scenes secrets and the impact social media has had on him since he started working in the paddock.

After Brazil I think we can safely say No
Will Buxton EAT YOUR WORDS MAX 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Finding this after sao paulo is going to be interesting
I could listen to Will talk for hours 😊 hearing him talk about the letters vs the online/social media hate really struck a chord. Another great episode 😊
He is one if the reasons that I dont mute the remote control.
The shelf life of Will’s comments was about 3 weeks 😊
Will Buxton has to be one of the nicest guys in the paddock…literally watched him from the grandstands at the Singapore GP talking to fans off camera…and also promise a Charles fan that he’d get her plushie pillow of Leo to him 😊 can’t wait to read that book! Also cake in a can - Will needs to try it in japan 😊
Definitely no British Bias From Buxton and Sky nah never
Doesn't happen. I mean if very British Adrian Newey calls them "nationalistic".
If Brazil was a dry race, he would have had a chance. But no more then that.
What an absolutely fantastic episode! That's the first time I've ever laughed because of a product promo.
Who on earth could hate Will? He's a total gem and I just want to buy him a beer.
So informative and enjoyable you three and Will Buxton is the best of the rest in the paddock - kind of the icing on the cake !!! Thanks and keep them coming
Absolutely great episode!
I really love you guys and your enthusiasm
Also, Will is great. Interesting story about how he got in Dts.
It's a joy to listen to you guys.
Thank you for this great entertaining podcast on Will Buxton. Up to now, I was always happy when Laura Winter did the show before and after the race, because I was proud to have a knowledgeable, warm, great woman there (don't have one like that in Germany yet). But: Now I will be just as happy with Will Buxton, because I know what a nice guy he is and how much he cares about our favourite sport and the people in it. I send a lot of love! ❤️ ❤❤❤ (no hate - ever!)
I’m so glad I watched this, it kept popping up in my recommended! I never understood why people were so hard on Will because of DTS and then hearing him talk about how much it’s affected him mentally is a bit heartbreaking to be perfectly honest. people really do not understand that the things they post online affect others - society has become so dehumanized because we view everything through a screen and have so much less person-to-person interaction.
I don’t know who the author is but I have a large F1 coffee table book and maybe some day when I finally have my own place I’ll be able to add whatever the current version of Will’s is ~with~ Lando’s chapter 😉
He's always going on about how he's perceived in the world is mentally affecting him. It's pathetic- just stop reading and worrying about it!! He's a very vain man.
‘General F1 Hero’ is a roll I’ve never heard of. 😮
Will Buxton is the face of F1 reporters these days and we all should be grateful for his knowledge of our sport. Ps. My first race? Australia 1994
Marko was right about Lando’s mental. Lando won’t win a title anytime soon
Excellent episode. Been listening to Will since he was on the American broadcast days. Didnt know his story though until now. Looking forward to the book!
Best Intro ever, thanks guys!
I always appreciate your podcasts and Will has become one of my favorite commentators this year. Thank you for always speaking your mind even when the comments yell at you for it.
Literally the best advertisement drop EVER ! lol
Will if you are reading this, fuck the haters. The things people shit on you for are why you are endearing. Be yourself.
Some humans cant accept others bright life...because they are losers..so they gonna try to find lows..where there is nothing there just hard work and cristal.clear personality..so if I was him ..I would follow your advice F the haters...
One of my earliest memories of Formula one is from the period that F1 was not called formula one yet. It was when I saw some photos of racing cars in my father’s atelier. They were shot by Jacques Henri Lartigue and the cars had oval wheels because they were going very very fast. And… even more importantly.. they were going the right way… coming from the left to the right side of the sheet. Because our direction of reading, in the western world, is from left to right. The cars were going somewhere, from the beginning to the last page; the Finnish. But aside from that they were in Black and white, the cars were stretched because the camera’s shutterspeed could not keep up with the speed of the cars. The pictures were FANTASTICALLY exiting. Lartigue was probably the first racing car photographer that was able to create a fan-base for the sport by showing pictures.
I am also a fan because I raced my Dinky Toys in Al beautiful colors. The colors were not driver- or manufacturer related but related to the country of origin. The English cars were in dark green, the French cars in Blue Royal, the Italian cars were bright red and the German cars were in silver. The drivers that I saw on track were Jim Clark and Graham Hill racing at Zandvoort.
Just pre-ordered the book!
I find it ironic that he talks about the struggle of being criticized yet he has no problem mocking George and Daniel. To call George out for being fake? Maybe he’s protecting himself from showing his true self. Or maybe that is his true and quirky self? Either way, out of line. Drivers are under way more pressure than he is and he should be more mindful of his own words especially if he knows how it feels.
Will, you're amazing keep it up.
So interesting hearing from Will. I so enjoy his enthusiasm on F1 tv - no one can do a grid walk like Will.
I don’t understand why celebrities read social media comments- they need to humanize the person who wrote the comment. Anyone writing mean comments is not someone you’d give the time of day to if you met them. You certainly wouldn’t give credit to their views. So why take any truth from their comments? It will just steal your joy, Will. Don’t read it!!
How do people not like Will?!?
Because he’s so fake.
@@zacharyradford5552 hes not tho, what you call fake is his true love for F1
NGL. you had me with the intro lol.
Will keep up all the great reporting, you get more love then hate ,,,,, you make us laugh and we enjoy all you have to say about F1 …
Will is so lovely 🥰 I did not expect that)
Great podcast!
I was lucky enough to win a Trip to Monza curtesy of The F1 Magazine, 3 days, Flights, Hotel transfers etc etc! All i did was sign up for another 12 months! Got a phone call from the F1 Magazine..thought it was a wind up from one of my Sales Team..
Maybe it was Will who called me..
Keep up the Great Work Will..Thank you..
That opening 😂😂😂😂
Will Buxton being "Pro British " Piastri is still in the fight for the WDC! Piastri is still scoring point's for the constructor's championship
Lol, 97pts in 6 race, of course ! With being 80% of the time slower than Norris ? Of course he's a contender ! Stop with that, he's just being realistic ...
@@aelmos Just shut up! We need Piastri in order for Max to take the world championship, not the other way around! Norris does not deserve it this year at all!
@@lucianstefanboros6661 I’m not saying that for now, Norris deserve to be champion, i’m saying that 97 pts is not recoverable… Don’t need to be agressive for that
He’s had 7 poles and lost 6 of them on the first lap and the majority in turn one.
Ha ha ha, neverundetestimate Max
AMAZING GUYS ❤
Will Buxton is just amazing, the best F1 presenter, he is doing such a great job showing us passion for sport
I want Lando to win this title badly, but when you really think about it, he should already be ahead.
I mean by the season’s end, the RedBull will have only been fastest for 20% of the reason… so it will be a bit ridiculous if Lando doesn’t win. 🤷♂️
In hindsight, how the hell did max win in Spain and Montreal
I think McLaren were already quicker in Miami, piastri was sticking with max.
Lando isn't hard enough to win title this year.
He’s had 6 seasons and plenty of moments this year to grow an edge he never will. Proof is his ability to lose pole position on the first lap and most of the time in turn one.
I love this so much! Such a fun surprise to see this morning. What a wholesome chat ❤
the checkered flag on the tv should be animated, unless it's not a real tv ^^
Maybe will is doing lando or the other way around
didnt age well
F1 had massive viewership before it all went behind paywalls
Fact! I'm irish and our state broadcaster even had it on every weekend back in the 90s... used to love it as a kid.
Like Perer Winsor Buxton is a Norris fanboy. Norris won't win the title imo, he isn't good enough and can't race wheel to wheel. Piastri will destroy Norris next year.
Oscar.
I think Norris is good enough, but he's a bit of a choker so if he can mentally get over that I think he has a real chance
lol does Buxton know we can just google a name? 🤣
A bank loan is not an interest free sponsorship. Nikki Lauda was one of F1's greatest champions. Even though he came from a wealthy background, he couldn't get the backing that he needed. His story is truly inspirational.
Oh god, i started watching it 30 years ago.....
...and look how shit it's become.
Actually, don't care which of the following wins 2024 F1 GP WDC TITLE; either 'Papaya and anthracite' McLaren's 'rampant' Young Gun, Lando Norris. . . or. . . Oracle RedBull Racing's now 'asymetric braking systemless' Max Verstappen. . .it'll be all the same to me and probably many others internationally.
It's not at all likely to be either, thoroughly nice guy Monegasque and Monaco Grand Prix winner, Charles LeClerc; or . . . long-term resident of Monaco Principality, the globally popular 'brand' and legendary Sir 'LionHeart' Lewis Hamilton. . .this F1 season . . .Already cheering them both on for 2025 . . .
Ferrari red's th' colour
F1 Grand Prix's th' name;
Then y'hear Sir 'LionHeart' holler,
"Y'know, winning is m'game!"
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
You wanted a British bias podcast, well you made it…. Geez.
Why don’t you British understand that the F1 viewer/REAL RACE FAN has always been WORLDWIDE from Away before DTS!
It's a UK based podcast, they don't claim to be otherwise. If it's truly global, where are the broadcasters from other countries, dont you view or listen to them? Self fulfilling prophecy here, is this not self inflicted, you ensure you only get a UK based POV, then complain about it, or do other countries not in fact report on F1?
Lando will win the championship if max doesn't exist
im not pro lando! but hes gonna win the wdc! lol
🙋🏼♀ im the 600th like
but ofc a brit gos for a brit
but by how many points ?
Sorry Greg but F1 has always been cool. The best drivers in the world driving the fastest cars in the world.
WELL SAID
I'd say it used to be way cooler. More dangerous, prolific drivers, shorter seasons.
Except they ain’t always the fastest cars in the world and most certainly ain’t always the best drivers in the world.
This comment section lets me down. Buxton is worse than the Joker from Batman.
This podcast is for them.
💥👏
It’s clear that Will Buxton doesn’t rate Oscar Piastri. I will be laughing if next chapter in book is on Oscar Piastri instead Lando Norris.
That's because Oscar is not Brittish. So sick of these Brit fan boys.
He's talking about this year championship, why on earth should he be talking about Oscar ? He is 97pts behind ! Will is just realistic...
@@aelmos It clear in the way Will talks, he only rates the British drivers plus Max and Charles. It’s your typical British bias from the British F1 commentators.
yeaah lando is definitely not winning but okay :D
Lando we can be world champion I said I think Lando can do this
I don’t he’s definitely got the car since Miami but he lets it slip through his fingers.
Pathetic british media 🤦
He is better than Crofty
How lame 😒 would be if Lando won ! F1 would lose that “real” championship worth!
Such a gay podcast
They're always happy
Norris won't win the title, he'll never win one.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Will 😂😂😂😂 what a joke
and no one claims you should bring a baby.. its work not holidy so leave wife and crap home..
This is boring.
It's soft-porn. There is no story, no action just a soft bunch doing soft things.
He is not going to be the champ and this year is his last change cause next year's champ will be Pastry. Mark my words. And after...nobody knows...
Ahhh lando won't win title, McLaren will, Buxton is a British superfan, not a commentator, but Lazenby is worse
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
