Track Club: an AMF Podcast

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! No Formula 1 season is complete without a thorough and enthusiastic recap from the Track Club team. There was so much to talk about this past season and we did our best to review a reasonable amount of it - from individual driver/team performances to the spectacle of this new generation's car, we're here to get into it. If you ar...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! This week, ahead of our season review, we bring you an episode with almost exclusively useful information! Jake kicked the Khalil out of the car on this one (jk, scheduling) in order to break some big Ferrari news and plant some spicy rumors while he's at it. If you come to this podcast seeking actual F1 news, this is the time to list...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! And with that, the 2022 Formula 1 season comes to an end - Max the champion driver, Red Bull the champion constructor, and you the champion friend of Track Club. This ep is a look at the finale in Abu Dhabi, which saw SuperMax take home his 15th grand prix of the season along with the overall #1, and Leclerc outpace Checo for #2 in the sta...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Interlagos brought many tasty narratives over the course of the weekend, and we can't wait to gobble them all up here on Track Club. New victors, old victims, sassy radio exchanges, with a pinch of pop culture and a dash of laughter. I wonder if they read the descriptions. Track times for the final grand prix of the season are below -...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Track Club turns 30! Join us by the fireside with a nice cuppa to reflect on less than a year of this beloved, nu-classic American motorsport and pop culture podcast. We're not crying, you're crying.  The Brazilian Gran Prix is this weekend at Interlagos! Who will dominate and who will DNF? Don't miss the sprint race! Qual -...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Tom Brady fumbling the bag. Mercedes fumbling bags. Checo fumbling bags. Kyrie fumbling bags. The Nets fumbling bags. The Jets fumbling bags.  Ye f.k.a Kanye fumbling many a bag. [Insert your favorite public figure here] fumbling the dang bag! It seems like everyone has been fumbling the bag lately... Well here at Track Club - we never fum...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! All we have to say is: Tim Cook, you can wave the checkered flag better than that, dog... But also congrats to Red Bull on their constructor's title and rest in peace to their founder Dietrich Mateschitz Mexico City Grand Prix (all times eastern): FP3 - Saturday, Oct 29 @ 1:00pm Qual - Saturday, Oct 29 @ 4:00pm Race - Sunday, Oct 30 @...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! We don't always script our episodes, but this one just might be an exception! This week's topics include a look at the conspiracy theories behind Red Bull's cost cap debacle, and what the potential implications could be; a brief look into the difference between Siegfried & Roy and Penn & Teller; and more discussion a...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! How many times have you become world champion? For many of us, the answer is 0. For Max Verstappen, the answer is now a resounding 2. The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka brought downpours all weekend, but even more consistent was Max's continued steady reign over the field. After red flag delays, early hydroplaning scares, and numerous...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! What a great Singapore GP weekend, capped by a Checo victory and a Danny Ric smile - you love to see it. It was a very eventful race, so we're running down the most important moments and sharing all our thoughts from the wild ride at Marina Bay. In other news, Jake gets his drop-top wool-crop nicked!? You hate to see it. That and othe...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Hello and welcome back for a quick check-in before the Singapore GP at Marina Bay! We bid farewell to Goatifi and speculate on what F1 will become without him, run the numbers on Max's inevitable championship claim, and place some bets of our own on this weekend's results. Also, a big thanks to Jake this week for showing up despi...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Coq Au Vin? Flannel bedsheets? Legitimate disagreements?? We're feeling loose this week with no F1 to discuss - instead, our very own Jake May has dreamt up the latest revolutionary idea to bring to a grid near you in future seasons. Introducing: X1! Or Formula X....we're still working on the final name but just know it is x-trem...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Another week down, another episode up. This past weekend at Monza didn't provide the most exciting grand prix to-date, but it was a good race and we're here to talk about it! Heads up for the cooking sounds halfway through - they aren't too intrusive, but we want you to know the chicken was delicious. No race schedule this w...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! What a weekend at Zandvoort - conspiracies, safety cars, and decisions made under those safety cars! The resulting podium was not quite different from the one we're used to seeing this year, but the drama was brand new. In other news: Twitter may allow editing posts and influencers will still post anything for clicks, no matter how un...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Back on track! Even though we never really left, the F1 summer break left a gap in everyone's weekend and Spa was a great race to come back to. Most of the things we thought might change did NOT change - Max still wins from anywhere on the grid, and Ferrari still throws positions away like a used pair of super-hard Pirellis in the wet...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Two announcements for you this week:  1. Jake has a very important mea culpa to issue to the court of the royal family and its constituents. 2. McLaren and Daniel Ricciardo have announced that have mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the 2022 season. Of course, this news went public after we recorded this week's ep, so we linke...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! This week on Track Club we welcome our first guest, Calder McHugh - a sports, culture, and political journalist from NY who also happens to love F1. Listen as we pick his brain on the current state of politics ("what's the deal with crudité??"), underdogs, and the championship fight on track that we've been following so...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Casual episode here - if you don't want to hear us banter and test out this new jingle, skip ahead to 5min50sec.  For this first week of summer break, we take a look at the recent Vanity Fair interview article with Lewis Hamilton. Although it's not quite the deep dive many headlines would have us believe, it offers us a great foc...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! F1 Editor's Note: Savvy listeners will notice that McLaren's Ricciardo/Piastri announcement is not mentioned in this episode, as we recorded before the statement was released. We'll have to cover that next time in pt. 2 of...SNAFU-NAUER! Silly season is upon us and it's brought a heaping monocoque full of drama. Who wil...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! ** Look out for another episode later this week in which we discuss Silly Season (driver moves, contracts, drama!)! If you didn't watch the grand prix this past weekend, it should be because you were listening to Beyonce's latest album, Renaissance. BUT we're also saving that conversation for our upcoming episode in a couple...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Alternate Title: Binned! Another emotional week on track, you've just got to listen to believe it. We issue our early congratulations to Max for his impending victory in the drivers' championship, and offer our condolences to the Italian Equestrian Party of Maranello. Then we dabble in some other international sports as well as t...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! In this extra episode, recorded before the French Grand Prix, Jake and Khalil run down the grid to discuss where we think each driver stands overall. Not everyone is a contender for the driver's championship at this point in the season, but some of them have been at it for a decade while others are just starting to show their true pot...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! This week we have two episodes for you, so check out the bonus episode for our Contender or Pretender segment, a rundown of this year's F1 grid and how the drivers stack up. In this episode, we'll talk about concerts (Khalil's first, Jake's one hundred twenty-third) and Khalil's attempt to see the Formula E cars zi...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! This week we get right to it with a "live episode" recording, diving into the very exciting Austrian Grand Prix. It seems the front-runners just can't have it all this season - Leclerc finally returned to the top of the podium while his teammate's car was returned to the garage in ashes. Verstappen did not finish in fir...

Radio us via our Driver/Podcaster comms (it's a text)! Spoiler Alert: Max is barely in this one The British GP was arguably the most exciting race of the season thus far, with start-to-finish action and a first-time grand prix winner in Carlos Sainz! We witnessed the life-saving halo at work, a hometown champ's return to form, and a bad pattern continue for one of our frontrunners (spoile...
