Track Talk Podcast

Kim Kardashian hard launch or Kimi Antonelli Monaco Grand Slam...whats a bigger headline?

Oh god where do we begin? Rossi's on crutches, emma had a vision of Armstrong winning only for his teammate to do so, Hannah's keeping track of the cautions like her life depends on it and sadly this was not Pato's year (again). In F1 news, George Russell needs to get over himself and just go play catch with his little brother (Kimi) and then all will be right in the world.

Qualifying weekend was...something? one and done for these drivers which sucked if you were in a Penske car that wasn't the 12 orr if you were an Andretti...lord pray for race day. Shoutout Conor Daly and our boy lil Dave and if we don't see Rossi winning the 500 next weekend then it BETTER be Pato.

It's officially qualifying weekend for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500! We break down the new qualifying format (the best that we can) and discuss the fastest cars so far on the speedway. It's the best qualifying session of the year so strap in!

In F1 news, George Russell said some things...... Alexandra Leclerc claps back at the hate & there's an outrageous rumour about driver seat swaps.

From Long Beach to Miami...lets talk about all of it, and yeah that includes making a pit stop in indianapolis to talk about the 33 CONFIRMED cars and you know what, while we're at it, lets make a quick jump over the ocean to talk about what the hell is going on in Italy with the..yenno..tax fraud or whatever. But not you George–we know you do your taxes.

AJ Foyt was not born on the 4th and we love rumors, especially ones that involve max’s career.

Isn’t it SO Fun waking up at 2am for a race?? No but we do it anyway and we don’t complain!! The only complainers allowed are Max fans and McLaren fans…yikes not ur weekend friends. Congrats to Ollie Bearman we love you and we can’t forget about Kimi’s first win!!!! Do it again!!! Arlington hosted Indycar for the first time ever this weekend and the track did not disappoint. Alex Palou should be worried…maybe? And rip Colton Herta we miss you (he ain’t dead he’s just over in Europe)

We missed formula 1. Didn’t miss Ferrari strategies. Or lack of them. The Mercedes are on fire whereas McLaren …. Yikes. Lots went down in the first week back and we are here to yap about it. Over on the indy side, Josef Newgarden ????? Where did he come from ??? Alex Palau has lost his 600+ day lead and also we love Louis Foster.

The honeymoon phase has come and gone, but don’t get it twisted…we still love motorsports. We also love love and we can admit when we’re a little jealous of a wedding as glamorous as Charles and Alexandra’s. IndyCar finally started and Emma would like to formally apologize to Dale Coyne for doubting them, but we’re keeping an eye on you...and also Cadillac F1 because I guess they’re a thing now??

We're talking all things winter olympics, Kardashians and plane flying but don't worry, this is still a motorsports podcast. Cut us some slack we have a few weeks till green flag we're just passing the time.

Title says it all! ford racing and our recap of our week in detroit, plus our interview with Daniel Ricciardo! Literally the best way to start off the year, don't you think?

Do Lando and Oscar lack “playoff experience”? Probably. Is Ferrari okay? No. Do we need to leave Kimi alone? Uhhh absolutely. Qatar wasn’t wild but that just means Abu Dhabi will be. Shoutout Williams for that podium and also RBR for finally announcing their 2026 line up. OH and Mick to IndyCar baby!!!

Max won and then Lando finished second but then actually just kidging he’s disqualified and oh wait so is Oscar?? The race may have been dull but the aftermath certainly isn’t. Was Lance robbed or is Emma just actually insane? You know who is robbed though..every second driver at RB but that’s an ongoing conversation. Anyway Lewis now works at Lululemon. (IYKYK)

WHAT. A. RACE.

Lando takes a controlling lead over the WDC. Max finishes P3 from the pitlane. Kimi & Liam put up epic defences. & Ferrari.... well Ferrari was there. This episode recaps our most exciting race of the season yet!

Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod we love you all

TLDR: Lando's leading the WDC, Ollie is a future WDC, Max is fighting for his 5th WDC and George Russell is still an icon.

Another year, another amazing race from COTA.... Unless you're a McLaren driver or fan that is. Is it finally time for McLaren to decide who their WDC candidate is? Will Max complete the comeback for his 5th WDC? Is Yuki too hard on Liam? All these questions & more are discussed.

We finally got to yap with a Track Talk fav, Indy's home hero.. Conor Daly! As someone who has been in the motorsports scene for a while he's got a lot to say, specifically about the new fans coming in, the Indy to F1 (nearly impossible) pipeline, and the truth behind sponsorships.

Make sure to give his podcast a listen! https://www.dirtymomedia.com/speedstreet

McLaren has won the constructors Championship...but at what cost? The girlies (lando and oscar) are fighting and we're all confused. Can we just get a championship fight PLEASE? In other news, let's give it up for George Russell who really has come full circle. He Yabba Dabba Did It!! And obviously we spend a good chunk of time yapping about The Life of a Showgirl..but can you blame us?

Kristen Bell is in Winnipeg and we’re in Winnipeg and we both love Formula 1…what a coincidence. Moving on - is Oscar going to have his comeback weekend? Is Max finally going to win Singapore? Is Lando going to have a good pitstop? Who knows. While we’re at it, let’s deabte who is the worlds best driver….hmmm...Also some golf talk because that’s what we’re doing now, talking about golf.

Carlos on the podium? Liam P3 in qualifying? Oscar out on lap 1?

Baku was nothing short of entertaining for many, many reasons (especially if you're team MV WDC x5).

***Thanks for bearing with us through this weeks audio issues***

Exactly what the title says...Monza, McLaren and McNuggets :) Follow us on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/tracktalk.pod

Skip ahead ten minutes if you don’t want the girly pops updates…but you can’t blame us for talking about Taylor Swift engaged to THE Alpine Stakeholder, Travis Kelce!! Maybe they’ll make it out to a race one day. In other news, Cadillac has finally announced their driver line up, Alex Palou will probably never move to Formula 1, Ed Carpenter Racing kinda slays right now and Hannah and Emma almost fight it out live on Track Talk….over….Max Verstappen? Weird.

Do you enjoy motorsports? Do you listen to Taylor Swift? If you answered yes to either (or both) of those questions then this episode is for you! Tune in and listen to: Emma learning about college football, Hannah discussing the idea of a playoff system for Indycar, and our special guest Madeleine Moore sharing her opinion on the Vegas GP from a new marketing perspective. Oh and of course, we talk about the Life of a Showgirl. (P.S. If Taylor Swift can make puns based off her song titles…so can we)

If you can get past the first ten minutes of us yapping about our lives we DO eventually talk about motorsports! We couldn’t just ignore how all Penske drivers finally finished a race but we can ignore the commenters who are convinced Pato’s winning the championship. Some questions for the week, Is Seb making a come back? Is Checo racing for Cadillac? Is Oscar MORE mafia than Alonso? Whatever, Charles is handsome.

F1 movie review, Silverstone GP recap and..oh right..Mid Ohio Indycar Race. For the most part, we actually stay on track during the episode as long as you don’t count the 5 minute Love Island ramble. There’s so much to unpack from this weekend but to sum it up, we love our VCARB boys, Nico slays, Indycar is kinda boring right now and good job Lando.

this one's a must listen

thank you to everyone who made this possible and everyone who has listened over the years

Christian Rasmussen is on FIRE!! Literally! But don't worry it didn't keep him from getting his first ever podium at World Wide Technology Raceway last weekend. Obviously we had to sit down with IndyCar's favorite social media star and chat about the chaos of a race, his background in motorsport and the power of Tik Tok!

go buy his merch: https://christianrasmussen.com/

Mad Max is back, Hannah and Emma have also crashed out in solidarity. We are once again asking what's going on at RBR and if Oscar Piastri is the new Max Verstappen, does that mean Lando Norris is the new Danny Ric?

ok

We told you that Indy quail was fun..but we didn’t expect all the drama!! Penske, what is going on over there? Prema..baby…keep doing what you’re doing its working!! We are days away till the 109th running on the Indy 500 and we have absolutely no idea what to expect, but hopefully the Honda’s do a little better this year! And also we hope Hannah meets Gronk! On the F1 side, Ferrari was…surprising? Is that the right word? And Max Verstappen really will not go down without a fight and we love to see it. Will h...

Drama follows the beloved French team (and their new acting principal Flavio Briatore). What does Pierre think of everything? Idk!! Just like we don't know when or if Fernando Alonso is going to win a race ever again. The month of May has hit Indycar hard, despite a 4th win from Palou, the 500 is up in the air! But don't worry - we recap how Qualifying works for this one because it's weird. As always, we have our hyperfixations but new to Track Talk: we were featured on 204 Rise! Give it a listen now:

So we all agree that every driver parade should include lego cars right? Miami did everything right last weekend, including brand activations, creator partnerships, and a Lego race we will never forget. Not to mention this was the most entertaining race of the 2025 F1 season so far. From Max becoming a dad to Kimi getting a documentary, we recap all the events of the Miami GP weekend.

It's been a couple weeks since you last heard from us but last week we recorded a full recap of everything going on in the world of F1, Indycar, FE, Sail GP, the PGA & the NHL! While motorsports talk still takes up the majority of the episode, we recognize that there's much more going on in sports right now and we want to talk about it! If you're strictly a motorsports fan, no problem, we have a full motorsport weekend upcoming to chat about so we'll catch ya next week. If you're interested in chatting about other sports or...

If you managed to stay awake for the entirety of this past weekends Japanese GP, congratulations! After a drama filled off week, we expected a little more action, but I'm sure our early triple header will deliver. Max showed complete domination once again, taking his first race win of the 2025 season and cutting McLaren's lead in the Constructors Championship to a single point. We're still not sure if McLaren knows what to do with their drivers but we do know that Mercedes is loving the sneaky consistency from theirs. Oh, and we hope Kimi passed his exams.

...

Well, we did not think we'd be discussing a driver swap two races into the 2025 F1 season but here we are. Alas here we are and we have THOUGHTS. The episode is rounded out with some Indycar news and our hyperfixations of the week.

Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod and help us get to 13 k!

Ferrari on top was a dream too good to be true. We had Piastri's first pole, Lewis' first sprint win, double Williams Points?? But sadly the highs didn't last long. Three disqualifications!! More RBR Second Seat nonsense!! What is going on in Formula 1?

IndyCar is just as unpredictable - the only thing that we know to be true is Alex Palou is probably one of the best drivers in that series ever and Scotty Mac is our king.

F1 in 2025 is HERE and we are so pumped to finally see cars on track again. It was a wild race to say the least, but it definitely gave us lots to discuss - Are rookies cursed in Australia? Why have the rookies claimed Fernando Alonso? Did McLaren spend any time strategizing over the off-season? Is this the year Williams turns things around? We also discuss the entirety of Drive to Survive Season 6 and we have THOUGHTS. The episode is rounded out with the hyperfixation of the week and if you haven't seen our puppy interview on Youtube please...

We did it y'all, we made it through the off-season and we are officially one race into the 2025 Indycar season. Is that too soon to start talking about championship contenders? Maybe not, but this season is definitely surprising us already. We chat about it all in this race recap episode + we discuss what we're hyperfixating on this week.
