Track Talk Podcast

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...

We encourage everyone to hop on the IndyCar bandwagon this week as Emma recaps her weekend at the Toronto Indy Race (Shoutout to Kevin and Caitlyn from Team Penske) IndyCar has some of the best fan access that leads to some of the most amazing moments with drivers and that was made clear this weekend when Pato gave Emma a heart and when she got to chat with Josef Newgarden. One of her favs won and...

Join Emma and Hannah AND Bradd from Furious Motorsport as we unpack the British Grand Prix. Before we get into that, however, we had some questions, as Canadians, for Bradd, an American F1 fan. And yes, we’re still talking about the Miami driver introductions. Highlights of the week are the McLaren and Williams revivals of course and we have to talk about the unfortunate weekends of Lance, Pierre...

The FIA had so much fun handing out track limit penalties this weekend and honestly, I think we all lost count of how many were actually received. And was that the Orange Army in the grandstands or a bunch of McLaren fans…answers may vary. Hannah and Emma may have different opinions about Sprint Races but they can agree it was a good weekend for Charlies girlies. Carlos girlies..so sorry, maybe he...

The theme this week is Red Bull…as in the Red Bull Ring, the future of Red Bull Racing and the popular question, is Danny Ric returning to Red Bull? Track Stats with Han returns as we dive into the Austrian Grand Prix. Side note, did you know Mick is actually Este's bestie? Of course we keep asking ‘What is Checo doing’ and we may never get an answer. We also want to know if a Deadpool livery for...

It’s OUR home Grand Prix this weekend…and Lance’s but we’re more concerned about his media obligations and his future in the sport rather than his actual performance. A few drivers on the grid deserve better cars, two of them being Alex Albon and Lando Norris. Not saying we want to see them in a Red Bull but come on…what’s Checo doing? We can give credit where credit is due and if that means we ta...

We’re all over the map this week, Hannah’s in Italy, Emma went to Texas and of course we can't forget about the Canadian Grand Prix. Listen to Emma’s COTA’s experience and count how many times she says the word ‘insane’. Hannah shares stories from her Montreal trip last summer (if you go, be sure to check out the street parties). Emma attempts Montreal Track Stats but it’s really just a history le...

We aren’t crying, it's just the sweat from our visors, right George? As always, qualifying was more entertaining than the race and Ferrari let us down once again, but let’s focus on the highlights…like Max being just as shocked as we were to see a McLaren starting From P3 and a double podium that WASN’T Red Bull. Emma touches on some Indy stats from their Detroit race and Hannah has a few theories...

Have you ever wanted to hear an Indy500 recap from 2 girls who just watched the Indy500 for the first time? Now’s your chance!! From the green flag to the driver drinking the milk, we dissect it all (including the last lap controversy) Emma FINALLY explains what the Triple Crown is and goes a little in depth about Le Mans while Hannah tells us everything we need to know about F1 in Spain this week...
