Temporada 1

Just an Inchident in Vegas

We’ll admit, Vegas was better than we thought it would be, but it was certainly a race to forget if you’re a McLaren fan. We stand with everyone who feels personally attacked by Carlos’ unfair penalty and don’t worry, you aren’t alone if you thought that this was William’s weekend (Spoiler: It wasn’t). Charles’ proved to us all that he can do something with that Ferrari SF-23, Max may or may not have entered his true villain era, and we’re still wondering if a night race in the desert is actually a good idea because it’s safe to say that everyone will be sleeping until Abu Dhabi, but hey, as Max says…Viva Las Vegas!!

Betting It All on Vegas

What happens in Vegas…well, actually we don’t know what’s happening in Vegas nor do we know what the next 10 years look like for that race but we’re all in this together. Will we see a Lando win? A Williams Podium? Disaster at turn 1? Set your alarms and get ready for the coldest night race of the season. We wouldn’t hate a Hangover reenactment but we would be a little upset if F1 doesn’t give Logan driver of the day. Some special highlights this episode on Charles Leclerc, females in motorsport making history and IndyCar because we’re having Indy withdrawals. Also…we’re still waiting for that McLaren game show.

The Epic Highs and Lows of the São Paulo Grand Prix

Live Love Lance! This was a weekend to remember if you’re an Aston Martin fan and maybe one to forget if you’re a Ferrari fan (Breaking News: Emma isn’t a real Ferrari Fan) We saw our last Sprint of the season and we know Max is happy about that and we also saw a Stranger Things x Formula 1 crossover during qualifying. 6 DNF’s in a race is a lot but that doesn’t beat Esteban Ocon’s personal record of his DNF’s in a season. If you’re wondering, Mercedes is still very much in the points race, Alfa Romeo is not and Lando Norris seems to be the only one who can battle Max. Furious Hot Takes returns and this may be the first time one of these Hot Takes is TOO hot.

Red Bull Gives Checo Wings: Mexico City GP

Does Red Bull give you wings? Or does it give us all anxiety because there are still Checo retirement rumours floating around? (Whatever the answer is, Hannah apologizes for jinxing Checo’s race) In other team news, AlphaTauri upped their game this weekend and Aston Martin might be...for sale…? Lando deserves to be driver of the day every day and shockingly, Ferrari did not let us down in Mexico. We may not know what’s up with Logan but we do know that Alex Albon is doing wonders in that Williams. In Case You Missed Indy makes a return this episode and finally, we’re keeping a close eye on the battle for second and third. What do we think, can Lewis surpass Checo in points? With only three races to go, we’ll certainly find out soon.

Austin ft. Boston (Alternate Title: Sad Yeehaw Noises)

We are joined by our Motorsports Enthusiast, American correspondent (and friend), Boston Cuda! She chats with us as we attempt to cover everything that happened this week, starting with F1 Academy Updates and their final race in COTA. Some important questions: Does George know how to overtake ON the track? Will we ever enjoy watching Sprint races? Does Logan ACTUALLY know what a kilometre is? We do know that Max put up a fight this weekend and his win was well deserved even if we were all secretly hoping Lando or Lewis would pull off something wild in Austin. We saw Yoints, we saw Loints and we also saw a very questionable instagram story by a one Charles Leclerc. Stay tuned till the end to hear our short debrief on the disqualification and if this week taught us anything, it’s that COTA is a race everyone has to attend in person next year, including us!

The Calm Before COTA

Drivers under investigation? More likely than you think as we prep for COTA which we sadly will not be attending, but we’re still prepared with Track Stats and everything you need to know for F1 Academy’s last race. Of course we have to address the Checo rumours and we finally talk about Andretti’s potential move to F1 also if we spend too long talking about Cars the movie…we’re not sorry. Two of our fav segments return this episode, WAGment and Furious Hot Takes and if you don’t know what we mean when we say ‘Charles Leclerc COTA Top Gun’ please look up the video right now, you will not be disappointed.

McLaren, Mercedes and Max, Oh My

This weekend we saw some fascinating highs, like Max getting his third world championship and Oscar winning his first (sprint) race. We saw some major lows, like Lance’s outburst and the wellbeing of the drivers not being taken into consideration. Qatar was certainly…something. You don’t need to be a McLaren fan but let’s give credit where credit is due, they’ve turned that tractor around, even if Oscar may be a little traumatized for post race interviews moving forward. We’re still wondering what’s up with Checo, we’re kinda rooting for Logan and we’re starting to question if Charles is okay. Also, is it Brocedes 2.0 or are we getting ahead of ourselves? Furious Hot Takes returns and I think it’s safe to say we’re all James Vowles fans after this weekend.

Sit Down with Katie Samuel

We sat down with the Queen of IndyCar Tik Tok, known for her GRWM videos and College tips and tricks, Katie Samuel! Dentistry student by day, the biggest Daniel Ricciardo fan you will ever meet and oh did we mention, the girlfriend of Canadian IndyCar Driver, Devlin DeFrancesco. (More like, he’s the BF of Katie though) She’s a tooth fairy in training and has a lot of thoughts about the IndyCar seasons - past and present, some advice on what to wear to the paddock (not heels if that wasn’t obvious already) and she’s also the most relatable person you will ever meet and quite literally everybody’s best friend. Stay tuned for a quick Jersey Shore trivia game…or a history lesson if you’re like Emma and have never watched a single episode in your life. And if we can’t convince you to get into IndyCar, hopefully Katie can.

Sleepless in Suzuka

This week we’re bringing you a Suzuka Recap (and some missed details from Singapore that we just didn’t get to last time around). Important topics include those kiss activated trophies, the LAST open seat for 2024 and McLaren stealing the show. Congrats to Red Bull and their Constructors Championship even though we all know it was Max who did most of the heavy lifting this season. What’s going on with Checo, you ask? After his questionable moves in Suzuka, we’re all wondering that. Most importantly, Danny Ric and Yuki will return to the grid next year, but where does that leave Liam Lawson? Oh and also, Hannah found out some fascinating information about Mr. Max Verstappen that she just had to share, so make sure you stay tuned till the end to hear it.

A Smooooooth Operation in Singapore

Is Emma delusional or is she the real curse in F1 this season? We still don’t know, but we can confidently say that Singapore has been one of the most exciting races of the 2023 season so far. From quali to the last lap, we were all on the edge of our seats. No Red Bull on the podium…we’re still stunned. We saw some fantastic racing and some heartbreaking ends and maybe, just maybe, we’re seeing a new number 1 driver at Ferrari? We are not in any position to try and guess what the future has in store for Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri, but of course we talk about it anyway, along with Suzuka Track Stats and the painful history that’s important to discuss but even more important to learn from.
