Track Talk Podcast

Track Talk is BACK for a second season and we are here to catch you up with what’s been happening during the off season. From the shocking announcement about Haas to Lando’s new favorite insta pose, we’ve got you covered. Emma is still on the Live Love Lance train, Hannah’s got some opinions about a change up at Ferrari and we have quite a bit to say about IndyCar’s Arrow McLaren team. Side note -...

It’s the end of Season 1 of Track Talk but we still have a few things to stay so buckle up besties. For starters, we are Team Susie and obviously, so is Lewis Hamilton, Oscar might be the funniest person to exist - but it’s still up for debate, and if you’re wondering what is going on with Charles’ contract extension…join the club. F1 season aside, we dive into the history of our friendship and th...

The 2023 season was full of highs, lows, surprises and iconic radio messages. Some crashes, some memes and a lot of Red Bull wins. Do we recap it all in this 49 minute episode? No, of course not, but we mention the moments that mattered. Like that Carlando podium, Charles’ short lived music career and George turning into a weatherman for half of the season. On a real note, we are extremely thankfu...

And with that…the 2023 season comes to an end. It’s bittersweet for some, it’s the best news in the world for Charles and Carlos, whereas Max will probably be reliving every single race win until the 2024 season starts. Some things you may have missed - Pato O’Ward officially has his FIA Super License, there’s a driver rivalry that slid under the radar all season and we’re not just excited to say...

We’ll admit, Vegas was better than we thought it would be, but it was certainly a race to forget if you’re a McLaren fan. We stand with everyone who feels personally attacked by Carlos’ unfair penalty and don’t worry, you aren’t alone if you thought that this was William’s weekend (Spoiler: It wasn’t). Charles’ proved to us all that he can do something with that Ferrari SF-23, Max may or may not h...

Netflix’s first live sporting event was certainly a spectacle and if it’s any indicator for how the rest of the weekend will go…well let’s just say we won’t be surprised. Yes the Pro Golfers carried the teams and yes it was basically a Netflix commercial for 1.5 hours but the content was entertaining, Carlos could make the move to golf if F1 doesn’t work out and now we know karma is officially not...

What happens in Vegas…well, actually we don’t know what’s happening in Vegas nor do we know what the next 10 years look like for that race but we’re all in this together. Will we see a Lando win? A Williams Podium? Disaster at turn 1? Set your alarms and get ready for the coldest night race of the season. We wouldn’t hate a Hangover reenactment but we would be a little upset if F1 doesn’t give Log...

Live Love Lance! This was a weekend to remember if you’re an Aston Martin fan and maybe one to forget if you’re a Ferrari fan (Breaking News: Emma isn’t a real Ferrari Fan) We saw our last Sprint of the season and we know Max is happy about that and we also saw a Stranger Things x Formula 1 crossover during qualifying. 6 DNF’s in a race is a lot but that doesn’t beat Esteban Ocon’s personal record...

Does Red Bull give you wings? Or does it give us all anxiety because there are still Checo retirement rumours floating around? (Whatever the answer is, Hannah apologizes for jinxing Checo’s race) In other team news, AlphaTauri upped their game this weekend and Aston Martin might be...for sale…? Lando deserves to be driver of the day every day and shockingly, Ferrari did not let us down in Mexico....

We sat down with the one and only Meme King of Indy Car, David Malukas of Arrow McLaren to chat all things Cars (the movie) and Cars (the racing kind). There’s a lot to look forward to as we all anticipate the 2024 season and David highlights a few races you won’t want to miss and shares what’s in store with Pato, Alex and the Arrow McLaren Content Team. We’re all rooting for a game show at this p...

We are joined by our Motorsports Enthusiast, American correspondent (and friend), Boston Cuda! She chats with us as we attempt to cover everything that happened this week, starting with F1 Academy Updates and their final race in COTA. Some important questions: Does George know how to overtake ON the track? Will we ever enjoy watching Sprint races? Does Logan ACTUALLY know what a kilometre is? We d...

Drivers under investigation? More likely than you think as we prep for COTA which we sadly will not be attending, but we’re still prepared with Track Stats and everything you need to know for F1 Academy’s last race. Of course we have to address the Checo rumours and we finally talk about Andretti’s potential move to F1 also if we spend too long talking about Cars the movie…we’re not sorry. Two of...

This weekend we saw some fascinating highs, like Max getting his third world championship and Oscar winning his first (sprint) race. We saw some major lows, like Lance’s outburst and the wellbeing of the drivers not being taken into consideration. Qatar was certainly…something. You don’t need to be a McLaren fan but let’s give credit where credit is due, they’ve turned that tractor around, even if...

We sat down with the Queen of IndyCar Tik Tok, known for her GRWM videos and College tips and tricks, Katie Samuel! Dentistry student by day, the biggest Daniel Ricciardo fan you will ever meet and oh did we mention, the girlfriend of Canadian IndyCar Driver, Devlin DeFrancesco. (More like, he’s the BF of Katie though) She’s a tooth fairy in training and has a lot of thoughts about the IndyCar sea...

This week we’re bringing you a Suzuka Recap (and some missed details from Singapore that we just didn’t get to last time around). Important topics include those kiss activated trophies, the LAST open seat for 2024 and McLaren stealing the show. Congrats to Red Bull and their Constructors Championship even though we all know it was Max who did most of the heavy lifting this season. What’s going on...

Is Emma delusional or is she the real curse in F1 this season? We still don’t know, but we can confidently say that Singapore has been one of the most exciting races of the 2023 season so far. From quali to the last lap, we were all on the edge of our seats. No Red Bull on the podium…we’re still stunned. We saw some fantastic racing and some heartbreaking ends and maybe, just maybe, we’re seeing a...

The 2023 IndyCar season comes to an end, but of course they saved the most chaotic race for last and we are here to recap it all (or at least we try to..there was a lot that happened) A lot of drivers struggled on the resurfaced track which of course led to yet another unpredictable race. We are still waiting to hear about a handful of teams and their driver line up for 2024 and until then, rememb...

This whole episode is sponsored by: Delusion! From putting drivers in The Hunger Games to trying to figure out what Checo is doing next year, we will admit to being all over the place. But at least we mean well, unlike whoever is chopping down those trees in Vegas for more race visibility (Sebastian Vettel would not be proud). Some Track Stats for Singapore, a WAG update that will have your jaws d...

Alex Palou is our 2023 IndyCar Champion and Emma still thinks he could give Max Verstappen a run for his money. Silly Season has not ended in this series with new driver rumours popping up every day, but don’t worry, Pato, king of the Indy spotlight, is staying at Arrow McLaren. As for our other Social Media Menace, Malukas may not have a 2024 seat yet but we’re still rooting for him. For the Form...

Great weekend for Tifosi and the Orange Army! Not so great for Oscar, Yuki or Alpine..but don’t worry, we figured out what happened to Este Bestie. Monza started with chaos and ended with Ferrari fans at the edge of their seats but man oh man was it nice to see Carlos on the podium in Italy. We still don’t know if the Monza Curse exists or if the Nico Rosberg Curse is simply stronger, but we do kn...

The Flying Dutchman (Max, not the character from SpongeBob) claimed his ninth win this weekend at his home Grand Prix and hey, you know what, he deserves it! Can he claim a 10th next week or will the Monza Curse get in the way? We saw a few red flags, a new face on the track and a new driver on the podium. We’re all wishing Danny Ric a speedy recovery and we’re also wishing that people stop compar...

Less than a week till we are OFFICIALLY back to talkin’ track but for now we’ve got a whole list of other things on the radar, starting with Motorsports at the Olympics...let’s not hold our breath quite yet. Instead, let's talk about inclusivity in Formula 1 and why don’t we see more drivers and teams speaking up or advocating for change? We’ve got a couple of Furious Hot Takes headed your way and...

IN CASE YOU MISSED INDY…Alex Palou is currently spearheading the 2023 Silly Season, RLL is alive and well, and the dislike for McLaren Management seems to not be confined to just Formula 1 Fans. We love our Canadian drivers at Track Talk because, well, we ARE Canadian and we sound it too, sorry, eh? We also love Mick Schumacher who is glowing and taking fashion advice from Sir Lewis Hamilton. Trac...

There’s no race but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about the season so far and all of its highs and lows. Of course we’re all waiting for Danny Ric’s return to COTA and what the rest of Silly Season will bring, especially since there aren’t too many drivers at risk of losing their seats this year. Looking even further ahead, the most important questions are what are the F1 drivers going to wear t...

Danny Ric is BACK and his opening credit scene isn’t everything Emma hoped and dreamed of but at least he finished the race unlike Alpine struggling with back to back double DNF's. We had such high hopes for them and Aston Martin but it seems that the teams to watch out for are McLaren and Mercedes. Oh and what about Ferrari, you ask? We’re disappointed, but not surprised and we have a totally uns...
