Talk the Torque

Our 'brief' season recap turns into 45 minutes, there's traumadumping, and an incredible Lawrence Stroll impression, all featuring the dulcet tones of one Mr Ciaran Stroll. Canonical Talk the Torque really.

What better time to announce a comeback than during the week of Ricciardo's return to the pinnacle of motorsport?

We are BACK! As the 2023 season looms ever closer, join us as we live-react to the Alpine launch, argue over the sexiest livery of the year, and drop some incredibly bold predictions for the season ahead.

We start off 2023 with what Sarah does (and doesn't) remember about NYE, the girls karting trip, and their upcoming foray to Autosport International. Then, ladies and gentleman, a short view back to the past... as we talk Interlagos 2012, and swap our usual Stroll slander for some Maldonado mud-slinging and di Resta defamation. 

Join us as we take a fond look back at a polarising 2022 season with some FIA slander, icks, and general shithousery. We also try and understand what on EARTH is going on in the House of Team Principals, and launch our Retro Race Club.

Despite being a man down, there is even more chaos than usual this week as the girls do what could loosely be described as a race review (for the last time until next March!) with plenty of icks, Insta stalking and displays of our overwhelming grief at losing 3 of our fave drivers, and Latifi. #chicksloveit

WHAT. A. WEEKEND. We celebrate our maiden polesitter and maiden winner, commit a lot of Verslander, and we give you our Icks in Interlagos.

We all sign up to be BTCC grid girls, we learn that what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas, and Corryn tries to gift Lando Norris a table.

Recording this was far more chaotic than the race itself. Missing out on Katie this week, we talk Danny Ric's drive of the season, Fernando Alonso being... well, Fernando Alonso, and we deep-dive into the accessibility of Formula 1 drivers to us as fans, and why we are close to this being withdrawn if we don't start treating them with respect.

We couldn't stay away for a week. Katie and Sarah share their thoughts on the Audi takeover of Sauber in 2026 and what that could mean for both the grid dynamics and the driver market. They also bring up Brad Pitt (again) and declare their first F1 Twitter beef after a certain line in an certain article riles them up.

In the first part of our bonus '5 Minute Mechanics', Sarah explains the effects of the high altitude on modern-day Formula 1 cars, and how we can expect to see this play out over the coming weekend.

Join us as we unpack the Austin action, get brutally honest about Lance and George's wheel-to-wheel skills, and form the Martin Brundle Protection Club. We also talk about THAT Red Bull flag.
