The FIA had so much fun handing out track limit penalties this weekend and honestly, I think we all lost count of how many were actually received. And was that the Orange Army in the grandstands or a bunch of McLaren fans…answers may vary. Hannah and Emma may have different opinions about Sprint Races but they can agree it was a good weekend for Charlies girlies. Carlos girlies..so sorry, maybe he can claim his second Silverstone win next weekend? Listen to Track Stats with Han and some history from the upcoming British GP, the good the bad and the scary and before we end, we need to get real for a moment. We know death is a difficult topic for many and we do address the recent passing of the young driver, Dilano Van‘T Hoff and pay our respects at 48:32 in the episode. If you feel as though you are unable to listen, please turn the episode off at that time and take care of yourself.
The theme this week is Red Bull…as in the Red Bull Ring, the future of Red Bull Racing and the popular question, is Danny Ric returning to Red Bull? Track Stats with Han returns as we dive into the Austrian Grand Prix. Side note, did you know Mick is actually Este's bestie? Of course we keep asking ‘What is Checo doing’ and we may never get an answer. We also want to know if a Deadpool livery for Alpine is out of the question but with Ryan Reynolds stepping in…we can never make assumptions. Also this weeks crush tracker may surprise you, it certainly surprised Hannah.
It’s OUR home Grand Prix this weekend…and Lance’s but we’re more concerned about his media obligations and his future in the sport rather than his actual performance. A few drivers on the grid deserve better cars, two of them being Alex Albon and Lando Norris. Not saying we want to see them in a Red Bull but come on…what’s Checo doing? We can give credit where credit is due and if that means we talk about Oscar Pastry for 10 minutes…well…you’ll just have to listen to find out what we say. As usual, Hannah talks WAGS, Emma talks Indy, but we also dive into that ‘unsportsmanlike behaviour’ penalty and the fact that Canadian drivers are so far and few between. Also...how do you pronounce ‘Haas’?
We’re all over the map this week, Hannah’s in Italy, Emma went to Texas and of course we can't forget about the Canadian Grand Prix. Listen to Emma’s COTA’s experience and count how many times she says the word ‘insane’. Hannah shares stories from her Montreal trip last summer (if you go, be sure to check out the street parties). Emma attempts Montreal Track Stats but it’s really just a history lesson and some notable moments such as the Seb v. Lewis 2019 drama and Jenson Button’s wild 2011 win. Also make sure to stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear our interview with Italian F4 Driver, Vika Blokhina.
We aren’t crying, it's just the sweat from our visors, right George? As always, qualifying was more entertaining than the race and Ferrari let us down once again, but let’s focus on the highlights…like Max being just as shocked as we were to see a McLaren starting From P3 and a double podium that WASN’T Red Bull. Emma touches on some Indy stats from their Detroit race and Hannah has a few theories about a certain someones potential F1 retirement, but most importantly, if you have any negative opinions about females in motorsport…keep them to yourself.
The home race curse lives on, but let’s be real, it could have been a lot worse. We have a plan to manifest a Charles win next year anyway, don’t worry. We also have ideas on how to make Monaco a better track because those traffic jams (and cars being lapped twice) is just not it. Monaco was messy, the FIA is messy, but we still took away a few things from this weekend such as...Lance would win a wet t-shirt contest, Emma still does not like Carlos at Ferrari, Hannah is a professional WAG tracker, Max is TOO good at his job and please, for the love of Formula 1, leave Lando alone.
Welcome to Track Talk Pod, today we're counting down our picks for the worst Charles Leclerc inchidents at Monaco. Will we see another one this year, or is his home-race curse finally over? And while there was no Imola race this weekend, Emma breaks down the Indy Qualifying sessions to prepare us all for the Indy500. This episode’s a long one so buckle up and get ready to hear some mentions of Tony Stark, Niall Horan and of course, our favourite topic, WAGS. Also...question for the general public; how does one get invited to a Red Bull party?
Did you believe the ‘Danny Ric to Alpha Tauri’ rumours only to find out that it would never happen? You may be entitled to financial compensation. Red Bull Racing is cut throat, but we knew this. What we DON’T know is what happened at the F1 Royal Wedding in Venice. Listen to Hannah and Emma discusses the lack of Stroll Sibling content, Imola predictions and you might even hear something positive about McLaren…IndyCar's Arrow McLaren, that is.
We all expected a fun and exciting race, filled with high energy, celebrities, something to remember...so why did we almost fall asleep during it? Did Quali get our hopes up? Is a Max v. Checo battle too overplayed at this point? Was it that Americanized driver introduction that should have been a red flag on its own? We only know two things for sure, this weekend was not for the fans and Brad Pitt is most certainly not getting behind the wheel of an F1 car.
What happened in Baku…more like … did anything happen? The lead up to the race certainly had more exciting moments than the race itself from the Max and George confrontation to Pierre regretting his words about not needing practices, but if there’s anything we can take away from this weekend, it’s that Emma is NOT a Max fan and Hannah has issues with the term ‘Monegasque’.
