P1 with Matt and Tommy is racing into the 2023 F1 Season

From Issue #026 of the Pod Bible magazine, the Breaking Bread column from Stak took a deep dive into the new Formula 1 podcast in poll-position of the podcast charts – P1 with Matt and Tommy…

This F1 season, P1 with Matt and Tommy is the go-to podcast for all your track reactions, pre-race predictions and exclusive access into the world of Formula 1. Renowned F1 fans Matt and Tommy have joined the Stak network (makers of Football Ramble and Abroad in Japan) to bring you their biggest podcast yet, as they dive into every single race with the infectious enthusiasm of two Formula 1 fanatics.

Matt & Tommy are renowned in the F1 world, having formed an impressive following while working at Formula 1 outlet, WTF1. With over a million followers between them, they are now embarking on their new adventure of P1, and their fandom remains as strong as ever. But this isn’t purely a podcast Matt and Tommy are creating a new platform for the sport, bringing fans YouTube race reviews, live Twitch watch – alongs, and news bursts as and when they happen. You’ll never miss an F1 moment again!

The reaction to P1 has been electric (…in a petrol – head kind of way). In its first month, P1 with Matt and Tommy amassed a following of half a million across the podcast’s social channels and over 1 million podcast listeners already. This led to P1 climbing the podcasting charts, and taking #1 spot in Apple and Spotify’s top UK charts, showcasing its global podcasting reach.

“The thing I have always loved most is sharing the sport I love with other like minded fans, and this is not going to change with P1.” explains Matt “Whether it’s a podcast, a livestream, a YouTube video or a social media post, we’ll be there every step of the way throughout the 2023 F1 seas on and beyond. I’m also really excited to work alongside Stak to take the P1 podcast to another level now the season is up and running!

To finish, we quickly asked Matt & Tommy for their pole positions in each of these topics, F1-related or otherwise!

P1…FORMULA 1 DRIVER (OF ALL TIME!)

Matt: Michael Schumacher. He will forever have a special place in my heart, perhaps I loved him so much when I was a kid purely because I was a glory supporter, who knows. He certainly cemented my love for Ferrari till the day I die!

Tommy: Fernando Alonso. I have supported lots of different drivers over the years watching F1 but I’m an Alonso fanboy now and I was back in the mid-2000s too.

P1… BREAKFAST FOOD

T: It’s difficult to pick just one as I’m a big foodie but I’d have to go with pancakes. American style with maple syrup on!

M: I’m usually jus a standard cereal person, but that’s because I’m too lazy to sort anything else out in the morning. My ideal breakfast would a e Full English though.

P1… RACE TRACK

M: Interlagos. How can anyone not love this track? It delivers racing action times and time again. Whether it be an incredibly close qualifying, changeable weather conditions or just pure chaos unfolding, you just know that when it’s time for the Brazilian Grand Prix, you’re going to be entertained.

T: Spa. It may not have produced the best races recently but it’s a classic that belongs on the calendar. It’s old school, has an amazing flow and it’s always the track I’d pick to do laps on in a racing game.

P1… SPORT OUTSIDE OF F1

M: Tennis. Not a lot of people know that I’m a complete tennis nut when I’m not thinking about my one true love, Formula 1. I try to play tennis at least 3 times a week and watch it whenever I can. My best shot has got to be my topspin forehand…

T: Football. My team is Leeds United so it’s a very different experience following them than it is supporting Max Verstappen in F1!
