Drive to Survive has given birth to many new F1 fans. Some of those fans have begun to watch the races religiously while others have tapped into the market to earn some cash. Falling in the latter category is ‘Pitstop Podcast.’
The hosts of the Pitstop Podcast – Jake Boys and Fabio Bocca – started their channel with close to zero knowledge about the sport at the end of the 2021 season. They started their channel by interviewing former and current F1 team crew members and soon gained momentum on their content.
Jake and Fabio have now begun to bring in renowned F1 personalities, such as current F1 drivers, F2 drivers, and F1 experts on their channel to discuss the stories they have to share. In doing so, the duo crossed the line in their recent ‘talk’ and got the fans furious.
The duo was joined by F2 star Juan Manuel Correa when they made a ‘moronic comment’ which resulted in fans calling out the channel for being ignorant. The Pitstop Podcast boys collaborated with the Screaming Meals podcast to have a fun chat.
Fans flabbergasted after Pitstop Podcast’s comments
A snippet of the recent talk has gone viral on the internet. Jake and Fabio are in the presence of Correa and Indycar star Marcus Armstrong when Fabio claims, “No one gives a fuck about your racing, no one really cares about where you finish in the championship.”
He went on to say that the fans are only interested in the personal lives of the drivers. Furthermore, while speaking to Correa, Jake reveals to him that he did not know who he was before he appeared on the podcast.
This left even Correa shocked as he said, “But you do an F1 podcast.” Fans too were left flabbergasted after the comments made by the Pitstop Podcast guys. They called out the duo for not knowing who Correa was even after following the sport for over a year.

Fans fume at the Pitstop Podcast
At the start it was ok if these guys didn’t know much about F1 as they were new, fair enough, but it’s been like a year since they started they need to be better

“We only care about personal lives” but then you can’t even be bothered to know Juan’s whole story which is very tragic but also incredibly inspiring like what do you know then??

This just shows they really don’t care about the sport cause otherwise you’d be interested to watch the future of Motorsport . And just saying but F2 and F3 are way more fun to watch than F1.

How did he not know?
He was involved in one of the most biggest incidents in formula 2.

I saw a clip of them asking Will Buxton what the purple, green and yellow sectors mean in qualifying, after a whole year of watching F1… are they just really, really dumb or faking it at this point?

The pitstop boys are another example why some men should be banned from podcasts.
