Michael said so many things that us regular people can use on a daily basis. He's definitely given me some things to consider when it comes to perspective on situations and self. Super insightful and open guest. Loved it!

[@PitstopPodcast]

He's such a legend. So glad you enjoyed the episode! Thanks for being here

[@janelleboyd9359]

Like honestly. He is so wise. N he’s given my a lot to consider as well

Angela Cullen would be a great guest. Might as well go through all of the driver physios at this point.

[@PitstopPodcast]

We would LOVE her on the podcast!

[@tosti158]

[@rosekanellakos4387]

Please get Angela!! I love her!!

[@chris10v]

I would love to see/hear Rupert aswell

[@tracygrainge4041]

Oh please 🙏 try and get her on. Roscoe too

[@nymphithys1558]

His facial expressions are SO similar to Dans, damn their bond must be even closer than everyone thinks! Great to see, Lovely guest!

[@nelenenaude5341]

I just really admire the way he speaks about Daniel, it’s with so much kindness and respect. I really enjoyed this, i feel like we can learn so much from Michael. The way he does things and put things in perspective.

[@cmekdara]

Massive respect for Michael. Beautifully articulates the challenges and expectations of DR. Gives you such a great perspective of how much drivers really go through race to race and having only moments to reset and re-frame.

[@matiasgabrielsen3844]

Really impressed by the guests you’re having! Great episode!

[@PitstopPodcast]

Thanks so much! Another huge guest at the flat tomorrow😉😉😉

[@Nitro91]

This guy is exactly like Daniel haha

[@iamjusthobo]

I love Michael! I think he's really good at putting things into perspective and I can totally understand how he and Daniel get along so well and are such as strong team! Keep up the good work, boys!

[@alyp4607]

One of the best I’ve listened to. I feel so inspired after listening to this. Wonderful advice from Michael but that advice wouldn’t have come if those questions weren’t asked so fantastic team work all round. I just hope Daniel can fight back, he brings so much fun to the sport. We all need a Daniel in our lives

[@xhosanasula]

You guys are killing the scene! So proud, keep up the amazing work xx

[@PitstopPodcast]

THANKS SO MUCH! Filming with a HUGE guest today!

[@TheGoudsmid]

Great interview. I was a bit surprised that Daniel has a race review with his trainer. Feels like extra pressure, from a personal friend/trainer. My question would be " What's the best mindset for a racer, heading into a weekend?"

[@hereiam0509]

I would love a new version of this, hearing him talk about what it’s like with yuki

[@kellywouters5849]

First time that I watch your podcast, DR is my favorite driver. He and Michael are fantastic together, absolutely love them 🧡

[@BenEllandHunt]

Another great episode lads, Michael was a great guest and super insightful! Next guest is Danny Ric right?

[@coin5207]

[@lesflynn4455]

This is an excellent interview guys. Need to thank Mr Italiano for the excellence as well. I can't fault it.

[@kristovt]

What a fascinating perspective on the relationship between an F1 driver and their Performance Coach! Michael is so incredibly insightful, and very well versed. Lots to take away from this conversation. THANKS!

[@bpilchhh]

If Michael made a vinyl with all of his great advice and perspective, i'd listen to that every morning...just saying.

[@lesflynn4455]

I think this podcast must have made half of Great Britain pregnant. This bloke is a star.

[@indrayanipoyraiturcar9239]

Pleeeeease get Carlos' coach Rupert on here! He would be sooo interesting to listen to!!!

[@AnnasTinyWorld]

Well done, boys! Honestly the guests are getting better and better. Now that I survived my exams I desperately need to catch up with the episodes from the last couple of weeks that I missed! Keep them coming 👍🏼😊

[@gillianb2352]

Great interview lads! Michael is a fantastic guest, so well spoken and such a big role in the sport, a great get for the pod!

[@clatterowls]

Fair play. This was a really solid podcast. Even for fans who aren’t as new to the sport there is so much to learn and new perspectives to see. From watching what you guys are doing and the way you interact with the guests. There is a reason you guys are becoming so popular so quickly!

[@valeriacolmenarez8628]

[@justine6897]

Honestly having the coaches on is the best, their insight is so valuable and we don’t get to hear from them that much! And Micheal has so much experience, love hearing his stories! Thanks boys for this 👏🏻

[@iy990]

Im a new f1 fan myself. I mean i knew the sport when i was younger. I watched two races in sepang with my uncle (he's a massive f1 fan) but i started to follow f1 after watching drive to survive, but more specifically this year. And i love knowing that there are more people who are like me! This podcast is helpful in many thing. The interviews with the coaches and engineers are inspiring. Always keeps me motivated ❤

You guys are doing a amazing job! Keep it coming

Best podcast I've ever heard in my life. You guys are legends

[@vidtrax662]

Jake & Fabio...please keep your podcast this way!!! That is why all of them open up with the casual conversation. It's because it feels like they're visiting a friend in a homely mood. The laughter tells it all.

Great podcast boys! Keep it going 👊🏼

amazing pod once again and the driver u might’ve heard about without radio was marcus armstrong in f2

[@PitstopPodcast]

Oh YESSS! Thanks so much Ashley I forgot haha

[@78drea]

This was a really great podcast, enjoyed it very much. Honest, funny, good questions. Now I'd really love you to get Lando's Coach Jon Malvern on. That be fantastic. Because he is with Lando for a long time, I think already since his karting days, way before F1. So it would be a different inside. Either way, keep up the great work.

[@Mike-pu7wk]

This should have a lot more views

[@Eden-ti6xq]

Another great episode 😌👏🏻

Thanks so much Eden🔥🔥

When they went to Montana they stayed half a mile from my place. I had no idea they were there. But I'd love to have given them the locals tour!

[@al.alfiaa]

Hi guys, i am a fan of your work and i really appreciate that you put this podcast on KZbin. But if I could give a little suggestion, I'm a little bit uncomfortable about your camera angle. Maybe you should consider using 180 degree rule of cinematography cause in this angle makes me feel a little bit confused. Cheers!

[@PitstopPodcast]

Will defo check this out! Very tricky without more cameras with the angle we film at but will see what we can do!

who's here after mclaren screwed danny over?

[@Thdlsicnekslfjeindk]

Great interview but I can’t for the life of me understand why you guys are aww-ing and “oh, poor F1 drivers” about having to do the ….. media pen. Are you kidding me? These guys get paid $1-50M+. Give me a fucking break. If F1 told them they need to draw daffodils and daiseys after every race, then they better damn well do it. 99% of the world has it 10,000x harder at their jobs, grow some balls
