Will Buxton says: "Formula 1 isn’t just about what happens on the track, it’s about the drama, the personalities, the moments you don’t see, and the questions fans are desperate to ask. Launching this podcast show with Naomi, David, and Jolie felt like the perfect way to open the doors a little wider. Between us we’ve lived and breathed this sport for years, and Up To Speed gives us the chance to react fast, go behind the scenes and have the kind of honest, opinionated conversations that we hope the fans will love!"

Naomi Schiff says: "Being at races week in, week out gives us a real sense of what’s happening beyond the headlines. This podcast is about sharing those conversations, moments, and perspectives with fans, and exploring what matters on and off the track. It’s honest, engaging and focused on the stories, questions and topics fans care about."

David Coulthard says: "Formula 1’s audience continues to grow every year, and with so much momentum in the sport, this feels like the perfect time to launch a podcast show like this. It’s a huge season for Formula 1, and we want to bring fans right into the heart of it. Expect big interviews, sharp analysis, and above all, a genuine passion and love for racing. We can’t wait to get started and for you to join us!"

Jolie Sharpe says: "Formula 1 has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and this podcast is a chance to turn that into something fans can really be part of. I want people to come away with a deeper connection to the sport, from the conversations you don’t hear elsewhere to the atmosphere and moments that make race weekends so special. Sharing that experience with fans each week is what I'm most excited about."
