Going Off Track with Kathryn & Emily

Did the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix deliver or what? In today's episode, Kathryn and Emily discuss: -Isack Hadjar's first career podium! -Oscar Piastri's 7th win in the season, giving him a 34-point lead in the 2025 World Driver's Championship -Max Verstappen doing Max Verstappen things in P2 -Lando Norris' car deciding it just...didn't want to finish that race -How Haas manage to turn a terrible qualif...

After three weeks and about a million years, Formula 1 is finally back in action this weekend in Zandvoort! We survived the calmest F1 Silly Season in...a lot of years, other than the fact that we spent three weeks hearing "Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas are totally, definitely going to drive for Cadillac in 2026." without actually getting that confirmation from the team itself until...this past...

One last race before the F1 summer break, we're going to the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, and it's all about the fight between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris for control of the World Driver's Championship. With a newly reconstructed Hungaroring and rain in the forecast, our predictions are already probably wrong. Want to be featured as our guest predictions picker?

Well that was a snorefest, huh? We know, we know, they all can't be bangers, but the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix was not the most fun race we've ever seen. (And yes, we know we forgot that this was a sprint weekend, because who in their right mind would make one of the longest tracks on the calendar a sprint race?) In today's episode, Kathryn and Emily discuss: -Max Verstappen's efforts to make that s...

It feels like a million years, but it's FINALLY race week and Formula 1 is back in action at Spa. In the wake of Christian Horner's firing at Red Bull as CEO and Team Principal, the team faces its first race with a brand new team boss, Laurent Mekies from their Racing Bulls sister team. Max Verstappen is going to have SO much fun at media availability this week. And did we mention there's rain in...

F1: The Movie. Let's talk about it. The good, the bad, the funny, the cameos, the SUPER nitpicky. We break it all down. From the surprise role for Kevin Magnussen to the Sonny/Kate of it all that we REALLY did not need in the year twenty freaking twenty five to the other questionable plot bits (a driver quit mid-season because the car was bad? really? (Have the F1 movie writers even SEEN what is g...

In a move no one saw coming, Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner was FIRED as CEO & Team Principal on Wednesday. Why did it happen? Why now? Why were Max Verstappen's team given the head's up before Horner was told? What will Horner do next? How will this impact Red Bull throughout the rest of the 2025 season? (Plus, will this stop Verstappen from taking Toto Wolff up on his offer and joining M...

Did the 2025 British Grand Prix deliver or did it DELIVER? It took Nico Hulkenberg 15 years in F1 and twice as long as any other podium finisher, but he FINALLY got his P3 on Sunday at Silverstone. And everyone loved that. We break down: -Why Hulk deserves to drive a better car than the tractors he's been in throughout the bulk of his career, and why we have slightly higher hopes for the Audi proj...

Just in time for American Independence Day, let's turn our focus to the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, aka: basically the entire sport's home race. In today's episode, we discuss: -Valtteri Bottas' potential return to the grid with...Alpine? -The 2025 Formula 1 Global Fan Survey -How Kathryn had to say So! Many! nice things about Lewis Hamilton in the 2024 British GP Reaction episode -Our Silv...

Was that some of the best wheel-to-wheel racing or what? Kathryn & Emily react to the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, including: -Our thoughts on Carlos Sainz Sr. choosing not to take on MBS in the FIA Presidential Election (spoiler alert: we're sad about it) -Our spoiler-free reaction to F1: The Movie (with a full, spoiler-y reaction to come soon!) -The epic wheel-to-wheel racing between Lando Norr...

Formula 1 is back in action this weekend at the Red Bull Ring! In today's episode, Kathryn & Emily discuss: -The Liberty Media takeover of MotoGP (and Kathryn makes another reference to the butt-cams) -James Vowles' long-term contract extension to stick around as the Williams Racing Team Principal -The will-they, won't-they between Cadillac and Valtteri Bottas -Our reactions to the early react...

Kimi Antonelli got his first podium as an Formula 1 driver! And it was one of the few highlights of the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix. Not that it was a bad race, but Lando Norris tagging teammate Oscar Piastri sure did make things exciting. Here we thought it was going to be Max Verstappen butting heads with George Russell after they qualified 1-2, but they were shockingly adult about things. We also...

Congratulations, we survived the two-week break with minimal discourse on the Max Verstappen/George Russell drama from Spain! Now, it's time for groundhogs, references to Lance Stroll's wrist surgeries, and speculation on what Red Bull's going to do if Max DOES end up getting as 12th penalty point on his license between now and Austria. Also featuring: -Kathryn's dad as guest host! -Thoughts on th...

Raise your hand if you too are tired of George Russell trying to manufacture a rivalry between himself and Max Verstappen. This ain't Senna v. Prost or Lauda v. Hunt. (Yes, Max "allegedly" trying to ram George on purpose was bad. He needs to not do that again.) But after a weird and boring Monaco, the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix was a breath of fresh air, especially since we had more overtakes on lap...

It's time to cap off the first European triple-header with the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix! Since most of the news this week has been dominated by more Monaco GP reactions (it was a weird race, don't miss all our thoughts: https://youtu.be/TwX8lhYKkik?si=aVxzRTWUZG1G-43C), there's not much to talk about, Spain-wise. But we DO have some rumblings of a future, Abu Dhabi-esque race in Morocco, some new F...

Well, that was weird. F1 swung big with the mandatory two-stop experiment at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix and it was a big, fat strikeout. Was it good that they tried to find a way to fix Monaco? Absolutely? Do they need to try something else next year? For certain. And that's not to say that the race didn't have its moments. In an uncharacteristic move, Red Bull's Max Verstappen did everything he c...

It's been months since the FIA announced that the Monaco Grand Prix will be a mandatory two-stop race, and now it's FINALLY time to see if it's going to make the race more exciting or not! In today's episode, Kathryn & Emily also discuss: -The newly announced partnership between Formula 1 and Disney's Mickey & Friends (why was Romain Grosjean there?) -What even is Ferrari doing with Charle...

So the 2025 edition of Imola wasn't exciting, but it WAS quite intriguing. A Max Verstappen win, some interesting McLaren strategy, all that drama with Alpine, the radio call hilarity--this race sure had a lot. Kathryn & Emily Discuss -Another effort for MBS to garner favor from the motorsport community, this time using Lewis' dad, Anthony Hamilton -The return of the Max Verstappen Record Book...

While the big, burning question of the fate of Imola (survey says, not great) is definitely one of the big storylines of the weekend, the biggest is, of course, what in the WORLD is happening at Alpine? Between Oli Oakes' abrupt resignation, Flavio Briatore taking full power over everything at Alpine that he already had (even if Oli was in charge on paper), Jack Doohan getting demoted back to rese...

"As seen on Netflix, Kathryn & Emily being WILDLY wrong on the Internet." It took us almost two full years, but Kathryn and Emily FINALLY got to record an episode of Going Off Track TOGETHER! Thank you to WhatsApp and Mercedes for making it happen.  In today's episode, Kathryn & Emily react to: -Attending their first F1 race in Miami -Our thoughts on the fact that sprints are only goo...

Special thanks to Mercedes & WhatsApp for gifting us that merch box ahead of the Kimi Antonelli documentary, The Seat, premiering on Monday, May 5 on Netflix. And for inviting us to the premiere in Miami! Did you ever think that our first F1 race would be the Miami Grand Prix? We sure didn't! But we're so excited. Join us all weekend long on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/going.off.track...

So Saudi Arabia...was a race. A race in which ONE thing happened. In our reaction, Kathryn & Emily discuss: -Oscar's third win of the season & how he's the first Aussie in 15 years to lead the Driver's Championship -The whole Max Verstappen penalty of it all--should he have given back the place? Could he have overtaken Oscar on track in the Red Bull? -Carlos Sainz playing the ultimate team...

It's time to go street racing in Jeddah! In today's episode, Kathryn & Emily discuss: -The impending removal of Imola from the F1 calendar -Spain keeping 2 F1 races? -That new proposed Saudi track that's straight out of Rainbow Road -A look back at Ollie Bearman's debut with Ferrari in 2024 -Our 2025 Saudi Arabian predictions -And more Other Episodes We Referenced: 2025 Japanese Grand Prix Rea...

The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix sure was an adventure, featuring every possible tyre strategy ever, track limits violations galore, a malfunctioning transponder, and of course, yet another Oscar Piastri victory overshadowed by other antics on track. Other Episodes We Referenced: 2023 Qatar Grand Prix Recap: ...But Are We SURE Oscar Is P2?: https://youtu.be/pWIaFFYHahU?si=AJcDx_BIYhp0tJ5J 2024 Las Vega...

Formula 1 is back for part two of this spring doubleheader, kicking off in Bahrain this weekend, in a race that will hopefully be more exciting than Suzuka. Not that we don't love Suzuka, but that WAS a parade. With not much news in the days between Japan and Bahrain, Kathryn and Emily discuss: -The future of the F1 calendar -Why Alpine really needs to get its house in order -All the rookie driver...
