Inchident Report

Welcome back to the Inchident Report and Happy Race Week! Life has been lifing lately but we have returned from our hiatus with plenty of rants and raves to share. This week we’re cringing at post-race interview awkwardness, marveling at Aston Martin’s decision to release an all-velvet merch line in the middle of summer, and debating the merits of the much maligned drone footage from the Austrian...

This week on the Inchident Report, we’re still reeling from a chaotic Monaco GP and reveling in the first double header of the season…in June… We chat about that moment with Kim K and the infamous towel theft, shake our heads at the lack of clarity around Charles Leclerc’s new Ferrari contract, and scream into the void about the ridiculous penalty parade of last weekend (pour one out for Pierre’s...

This week on the Inchident Report, we’re dusting ourselves off after a wacky and wild Canadian GP. We marvel at the disarray a malfunctioning light can cause (how about those three formation laps?), we shake our heads at the sketchiness of Lando wandering through a mass of people to get back to the paddock, and we admire McLaren’s commitment to chaos with their gutsy (read: silly?) tyre strategy....

It’s finally race week, y’all! This week on the Inchident Report, we’re gearing up for the Canadian Grand Prix by exploring the legacy of on-track critters across the sport - including the famous groundhogs of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. We then lose our minds over Red Bull’s new Croc collab (we just don’t get it!) before celebrating the triumphant performance of the Dacia Logan at the Nürburgring...

This week on the Inchident Report, we’re filling the racing void by standing on our soapbox. We chat about Max Verstappen selling out the Nüburgring and his potential to bring his fans along to new racing platforms, we theorize about what board games the drivers would play in light of Carlos Sainz’s love of Settlers of Cataan, and - quite frankly - we give F1 a piece of our minds. Between botched...

F1 is back, baby - and so are we! This week on the Inchident Report, we're returning to our tried and true format to unpack all of the chaos and confusion of the Miami GP. We ponder whether we'll ever know a 'normal' race in 2026 before we discuss David Coulthard's obsession with weather apps, investigate the similarities between the Miami GP and Arrested Development (just think about it!), and sc...

It's finally race week y'all! For the final installment of this special April 'Break' Series of the Inchident Report, we're reveling in the chaotic races of the 2010s. Em takes us through the waterlogged and extremely delayed Canadian GP of 2011, which saw Jenson Button crash his way to the top step of the podium. Allie then talks us through the delightfully dramatic Azerbaijan GP of 2017, featuri...

Welcome back to the Inchident Report! This week we’re diving headfirst into an action-packed lineup of 2000s races. In an event that we’re dubbing ‘Crashcella’, we take you through the 2003 Brazilian GP (otherwise known as ‘Crash fest ’) and the 2008 Singapore GP (otherwise known as ‘Crash gate ’). There are shocking twists and turns, sketchy team calls, FIA confusion, and -of course - crashes gal...

Welcome back to the Inchident Report! This week we’re picking right back up where we left off with our classic race recs to help you fill the void of F1’s forced hiatus. Em is back just in time to take us through the unexpected drama and tense final laps of the 1992 Monaco GP, otherwise known as one of the most impressive defensive performances of Ayrton Senna's career. And as if that isn't enough...

Happy April and welcome back to the Inchident Report! Are you feeling despondent about the forced break in Formula 1 this month? Never fear, Allie and Em are here! This month we're filling the racing void in all of our hearts with a series of weekly minisodes in which we each recommend one classic race to watch from the F1 TV archives. We'll give you the 'movie trailer' rundown for each of our rec...

We’re back with a brand new episode of the Inchident Report! This week, we’re diving into the Aston Martin ‘championship’ between Lance and Fernando, basking in the hilarity of the evolving saga around Carlos’ entry in the F1 title sequence, and finally doing a much-needed debrief (read: therapy session) around the insanity of these regs. Warning: soap boxes will be stood on and voids will be scre...

Welcome back to the Inchident Report! Em is out on vacation this week, so we’re welcoming special guest Melissa Ragsdale, host of the Scribbles to Sparks podcast (and new F1 fan), to fill her shoes. We debrief about Jonathan Wheatley’s departure from Audi, recent sponsorship developments in F1 Academy, the...interesting...liveries for the upcoming Japanese GP, and more! We also answer a listener q...

Another week, another episode of the Inchident Report! This week we tip our caps to Irish driver Alex Dunne in honor of St. Patrick’s Day before launching into a discussion of the Chinese GP, close racing, and how teams can better foster driving talent. We also come to terms with the possibility that we might actually… like …these new regulations? Plus we finally get to talk about our shared favor...

Welcome back to the Inchident Report! We don't know about you, but we're still REELING from that chaotic race in Melbourne. This week, we discuss Max Verstappen theories and revel in Franco's obsession with Punch the monkey before delving into a lengthy discussion of the man of the hour (and perpetual candidate for class president): George Russell. Plus, we discuss a listener question about whethe...

We made it to race week, y'all! On the latest episode of the Inchident Report, we dance on the grave of this chaotic testing season before launching into a discussion of Valtteri Bottas' 'pet' badger Nigel, Aston Martin's potential non-starter in Melbourne, and Arvid Lindblad's appearance at the Red Bull Moto Jam in New Dehli. Plus, we debrief about the new season of Drive to Survive (spoilers: bo...

Welcome back to the Inchident Report! It's a new week and a new opportunity to scream into the void with your favorite chaotic girlies. We marvel at the ability of Canadians to resist cold weather before jumping into an analysis of the new F1 promo materials, a discussion of whether it's actually, maybe, possibly Ferrari's year (don't get our hopes up, Scuderia!), and a recap of an old friend's ra...

Happy Wednesday everyone, and welcome to the Inchident Report! We get a special cameo from Emilie’s son before diving into a discussion of whether money can buy you a good engine (spoiler: it can’t), and how F1's testing season is actually a testament to the fact that men really love gossip. Plus, we're reviewing Cadillac's merch (or lack thereof) and delving into McLaren's crusade to change the s...

We're BACK and saltier than ever, y'all! Our first episode of 2026 covers some important updates (hello, Substack!) before diving into a conversation about THAT Lewis Hamilton dating news, whether or not James Vowles is actually capable of playing 4D chess, and all things testing - and did we mention we HATE testing?? Plus, this season we'll be discussing a listener question every episode - so be...

We invite guest Manvi Mittal (former host of the Females in Motorsport podcast, PR superstar, and generally amazing human being) to join us on a deep dive into F1: The Movie - covering everything from the good, to the bad, to the straight up absurd.  If you haven't seen the movie yet,...
