I love that he totally didn't wanna get off the pod
We need this version of Will more on F1TV
exactly what i was thinking couple minutes in .... he s like a totally different person on tv and i dont like that version of him ...
“Can we get a walk through of the bracelets?” Thank you sirs for asking the questions for the people.
Will Buxton out here dropping bombshells. Love to see it
Had the opportunity to meet Will and talk to him outside the Las Vegas Paddock swipe gates last December and he is the real deal and truly does love to talk about F1 even when the cameras are not rolling and even if you are not covering him for a podcast. Terrific guy and a true fan and student of the sport.
Can you just do a quarterly or bi-annual podcast with Will? This was one of the best pods I’ve seen in a while
You can tell Will is true fan and a really nice guy, great interview guys 👏👏👏👏
You got him so candidly. Loved this interview!
This is by far one of the best interviews I've ever seen. I enjoyed every moment of it! I came into F1 in 2018 and wasn't aware of DTS until maybe 2020, 2021? I can't recall. Anyway, I've known of Will's love of F1 and racing (and his continuous support of IndyCar, thank you Will!) for a while and am always sad to see Will derided as "just another Netflix personality who doesn't know anything about the sport" (common theme on Reddit, etc.). I have always loved watching Will and the F1 crew in the pre/post race shows, and every time we manage to catch him in the box for active commentary is a treat. I love his genuine enthusiasm and his willingness to (literally) get messy just to enjoy what he loves.
Thank you guys for such a great pod! And I had no idea he'd ever raced the guys, let alone beat the Goat! ;)
Because Buxton is a great intervieee
15 minutes in takeaway: being a yapper gets you a job that exceeds your dream job
Finally….a pod….worth….listening to.
So many people probably know who Will is because of DTS but he’s on DTS because he got the job with f1 broadcasting which he accomplished all with his own passion and hard work, and just not being to stop talking about his passion! That’s incredible!
Absolutely psyched to see your guests and the Pod growing!!! -love, future dogtor dion
Crazy, cool guys! You guys are doing amazing with your interviews :) keep them coming!!
Loved this episode!!
I have been a Formula 1 fan since I was probably 5 years old. It's been 30 years that I have been watching Formula 1. And I love the fact that there are new fans coming in. I think the people who gave keep formula one are insecure and maybe this might have been the only Thing that made them different from others.
That was awesome!
Great interview!!!
He is single handily responsible for sending me deep into the rabbit hole of motor sport we are the same age I started with DTS and I went all the way back to the 60's as much as I could find I watched it all some twice because of Will Buxton your a legend
Sooo amazing... Such good insights.. What an interview, and I am one of those fans from the 90s. U guys are funny and contagious. Welcome welcome welcome 🥳
Loveeeeed this episode! Thank you guys for bringing Will Buxton

TikTok brought me here. Awesome content!

Great fucking interview, first of all. Willy B is low key one of us. Second, love to see you boys cookin.
Alright wankaaahz! Hitting the big league now! So proud of y'all! Love from your daddy-to-be from India!
WILLLLL?!?! Y’all are slaying with the guests 🙌🏼
lol that was epic fellas
It’s incredibly healthy to learn about and understand ANYTHING that originates somewhere other than in your own country. BRAVO American fans !
Love this. Ive been a fan of Will since long before DTS and although we play into the memes. He is one of the best in the game and the energy and passion he has for the sport really is infectious
This is gold
I loved this interview!
It amazes me how everyone praised Senna for the fear he installed in the other drivers and the criticism Max gets when he is basically the same. I feel like all the drivers idolize Senna, but Max reminds me of Senna the most.
Another interesting point came to me when discussing how well Carlos is doing and how Lewis is struggling because the car doesn't suit him, is that that's why some consider Alonso to be one of the greatest drivers , because there is no such situation for him. He gets the most out of any car. He is one of the most adaptable drivers I have ever seen. It's a shame he made some bad choices in his career.
I totally don’t understand the love and talk of Alonso being one of the greats. He hasn’t won a race since 2013! How is this getting the best out of a car? He was unable to beat Lewis as a rookie, and Alonso had just won his second drivers title!
Now I understand the Fernando Alonzo meme about the GP2 engine. 😂 He was referring as if their f1 engine is like of an f2 back when it was called gp2. New fan. Thank you Will! 😂
We need will like 2 or 3 times each season on the pod!
I knew he listened to the pod!
Shout out to Carlos’s hair 😍
This was a great interview
Got to know more sides of will
Thanx Guys You just impressed a 67yo fan with this interview of Will You showed him as Will & That is fucking amazing!!! I like your style...less bullshit & more reality bites! lol
The bracelet ANSWERS‼️‼️
Where can we find the megamix that Will references at 52:50???
10:40 sim racing has entered the chat
If you really want a simple, entertaining intro to F1, it’s always the Shift F1 pre-season primer.✌️
Oh yes.... have been to Magny court a few times as well at those time, beers and AC/DC and schumi wins
Ugh, it just started but NOW I have a proper question. Does he remember the Murray Walker/James Hunt commentary duo and what did he think of it 😂
27:00 around here, he is talking about Carbidschieten.
Love WILL
goated
1:17:12 thank god someone has asked it
HAPPY APRIL VANKERS!!
Cool video. But guys a podcast is sound only.
You should have asked if we get to have Daniel Ric in Indycar if his F1 spot blows up. That would be EPIC!
When did he talk about Daniel??
@@raycup4375 A couple of times... His current struggles.. He's a good interview... etc.
I was a massive Dale Earnhardt fan as a kid, and I watched him die on my 9th birthday at my birthday party. That's the US version of Sennas passing.
My advice to the interviewer with the green cap is: ‘leave out the words: LIKE and YOU KNOW’ as much as possible. Like it gets you know like annoying you know?
I just rewatched the interview and I realized the entire part Nico Rosberg is gone, did I miss it or did you cut it out?
Think you missed it. He did speak about not liking the guy. Maybe it was longer????
🍻
I'm such a greedy pig for Red Flags Pod how did they know
Senna GOAT!
Bearman and Antonelli are no guarantees, nobody has any idea how they perform when not only every session is criticized but every second and turn on the track, so many more failed than succeeded, Will is a great guy and very positive but it's a sport and we need to judge them as sports people and we will see how they perform when they get butchered on social media when they are 0.300 slower in any session.
So will got into f1 because of American TV. I didn’t kn😢that
Drive to Survive 2021 was extremely Interesting but the Uk dominated F1 media and their (former) colony's all want to avoid the Mercedes engineer caught on DtS camera saying they needed to teach Max a lesson. Teaching a lesson in motorsport, a lesson with 200mph, a lesson that gets drivers killed, a lesson UK dominated F1 media is avoiding because the know it's the biggest scandal in recent F1 history. That the English spoken bubble want to avoid it is no surprise.
great vid; great interview; Will is amazing. Just one item I wished you had addressed . . . . Indy Car and Nascar use the same equipment; especially Indy Car. Then it leaves it up to Driver skill, pit stops and minor incidentals. Indy's equal to Max is Alex Palou, but he doesn't win every race; same with Nascars's Kyle Larson. Max wins BECAUSE OF THE CAR. put Lando, Lewis, Carlos in Max's Red Bull and they will win instead. Just sorry after 1.5 hours of a great interview none of you addresses this specifically; having THE SAME CAR for every team in F1.
It's not that I hate new fans, they are welcome. It's that it's based sometimes solely on DTS. And they really do NOT understand the sport. And DTS is just not the best thing to base your knowledge about F1 on. Sorry Will, but DTS is just a little fake and over dramatized. F1 is already dtama enough so I never got that. Even lots of drivers don't like it. They should have stayed morw true to reality ; they would have still made new fana AND they would have kept the old ones.
I feel lots is bein done to pamper new fans while snubbing the old ones.
If I read comments of new fans is just cringe or dumb sometimes. Calling all races boring when nonody crashed. You can totally tell yhey expect more Nascar like races. It's not....
And be honest: it is Max Verstappen who made F1 cool again!! That's how this all started to snowball.... LJ
Captain Obvious himself 😂😂🙌🏿
THIS IS SOME EPIC SCHEIT WANKERS!!!
Indeed Will, everyone has his first race. But here we are about 4y.o when you get your first touch with f1, now the new fans are 30 years old. Thats what annoys me, i've been watching f1 longer then that ..
Will is a great guy but he has this British media people problem that can't see Lewis as a racing driver and don't judge him as racing driver or real person, they all abuse Lewis to make themselves look woke and inclusive and because of that they talk complete rubbish when Lewis is clearly under performing for 3 years, he doesn't dare to be critical at Lewis.
But on F1TV app his channel International and the commentary is lot lot better than the SkyF1 coverage, less British biased
If a great carpenter has a tool that isn't working and ends up building a cabinet that isnt his usual standard does that mean he isn't a great carpenter who that he needs better tools. Lewis is a brilliant driver but imagine your style is late breaking but when you late break with a car that doesn't have a rear end that is stable and the car is non compliant how are you able to extract your best from that. I hate when people who clearly have zero wheel knowledge knock on a 7x WDC who ended up finishing 3rd I a championship (almost 2nd) in a wheelbarrow and say he is underperforming. Stop listening to bias media and actually watch the races and listen to programmes with engineers for yourself and try to understand what is actually happening.
@@brownbabyuk10 Excuses and excuses, experimental setups, beaten by teammate regularly, failed to get into Q3 regularly and the last 4 year crashed into Albon twice, Max twice, Piastri, Alonso, Checo and tok teammate George out after 300 meter when they had a chance, getting embarrassing.
Most of your so called unbiased experts are biased Brits not able to deal with the reality that Lewis lost his racing mojo a long time ago
@@brownbabyuk10
That's a lot of coping.
I guess the errors and crashes were due to the shite car as well the past few years.
@@soundyg7441 Too bad for you that end results in F1 or any motorsport only tell a small part of the story. Maybe you missed it but Mclaren was bad beginning of the season and AM at the end. How many times did Lewis mis Q3 ? How many driver did he take out ?
You can be impressed, I’m not.
But you making it about skin colour is what Lewis his real legacy to this sport is, racist identity politics, you can’t see Lewis as racing driver, you see this extremely successful man as a black institutional victim, that’s horror and it’s poisoning this sport.
Racist of low expectation abusing Lewis to make themselves look woke and inclusive are destroying this sport
@@soundyg7441 and piastri and he missed Q3 multiple times, did you watch ?
Carlos is overrated again until he makes his mistakes again, it's all very opportunistic. Carlos made mistake twice in the lead chased by Max, Silverstone '22 and Monza '23, that the biggest tell you can get in this sport, key moments. Carlos after winning Australia was eager to say he forced Max into a mistake after the race, he hoped it was 2-1 but it's still 2-0 because Max had a tech issue. Drivers and teambosses know what this sport is about, overshooting corner when chased when the gap gets smaller and smaller is the biggest tell you can get in this sport, Carlos is no WDC material. Every sim racer has this problem, overshooting corners when chased is when you know you drive against people that are faster and better. F1 drivers have all been the hunters forcing rivals into mistake and when they arrive in F1 they become the hunted
curious. why doesn't will buxton go to any black hosted podcasts? it's always the same podcasts that have access that seem to get them. what about appearing on quickstop f1? they are so real and raw.
he maybe hasn't been invited on one or are you trying to say hes racist?
Podcast??? Thats just a lewis hamilton fan channel, and i wonder why😒
@@andrewbragg504 your words not mine.
@@mastak696 then what do you mean by him not going on a black dudes podcast? Why did YOU bring colour into it?
@@andrewbragg504i think you don’t think of color when you are in the position of power/ the majority. but those who are not, unfortunately have to. think that one through.
