Summer shutdown means we have a reasonable number of races to recap 🙏  Steph and Almay recount their time at the Formula E finale in London, F1, 2 & 3 in Hungary, IndyCar in Monterey and watch them race in Portland while recording the episode. Enjoy our live reaction to Alex's championship win.

And we finally have time to play a standalone game! Let's get some of these unemployed boys some jobs and yes we came up with this just for Sam Bird.

In more serious topics, we discuss the US Department of Homeland Security using IndyCar visuals to advertise ICE, and Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner takes us on a deep dive of Firestone's long-lasting impact on West Africa. Spoiler: it's not good. CGPC takes place from 13:20 to 36:50. The instrumental for the Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner theme is by Dan Barton. The horrendous lyrics are by Steph.

Life is busy and there were 24 (!!!) races between recordings, so this episode is very different from the others.

We focus on the biggest news: F1 is FINALLY a Horner-free sport! Unsurprisingly, we have a lot of thoughts on this. Almay has DND-ified our race recap in a game called "Roll for Power" to help us rattle (literally) through an insane amount of races. And it's the grand finale of this season of Gridlocked and the new as we reveal the new and improved Formula E grid...

The accidental GPC is between 26:00 and 38:00. The instrumental for the Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner theme is by Dan Barton. The horrendous lyrics are by Steph.

So many races, literally zero time. But the gals are back to catch up on news such as the Penske drama, McLaren leaving FE and, once again, ask the ever-relevant question of “What on earth is going on at Alpine?” We also go over the month of May races and the plethora of the many others that happened in-between.

It’s bad out there, baby! The gals are back to talk about recent motorsport news including new F1 sponsors, the insane sexism faced by female racing drivers, and to be disappointed by the world. We decide races can be boring if we like who wins while discussing F1 in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, and we briefly touch on IndyCar in Longbeach, F1 Academy in Saudi Arabia, and F2 and F3 races. 

There is no Geopolitical Corner this episode, we just talk about the death of Pope Francis and the conclave #PopeWatch2025

Normally we go over a lot of news at the start of an episode, but this time we reserved half an hour of this episode to discuss the Red Bull second driver switch, and deservedly so. And as a treat trash-talked Stefano Domenicali and his renewal as F1 President until 2029. 

Race-wise the season is in full throttle (pun intended) and we cover F1 in Japan, IndyCar at Thermal, and F1 Academy in Shanghai. 

Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner this episode is about the situation in Haiti and takes place between 33:15 and 50:30.

You wait for a racing series to start, and they all come at once, eh? We discuss the return of IndyCar and F1 and also discuss the recent passing of Eddie Jordan, BBC Radio 5 making all of Almay’s dreams come true, and Oscar’s contract renewal and how funny it would be if F1 did trades like hockey. Turns out Red Bull stole this idea from us before we could post the episode 🤷‍♀️

This edition of Charlotte’s Geopolitical Corner talks about the upcoming UN Security Council elections and takes place from 25:30 to 43:15. The instrumental for the Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner theme is by Dan Barton. The horrendous lyrics are by Steph.

We are officially middle-aged! And with the new motorsport season finally starting, we celebrate with our yearly F1 livery reveal episode, this time using a cursed tier ranker.

We also recap Formula E in Jeddah and the use of the new "pit boost" feature, and discuss news such as Zhou finally having a job, and how Robert Shwartzman has made sure the benefit was well and truly doubted. And all of this is capped off by probably our most chaotic Gridlocked to date and the closest we've got to disbanding this podcast mid-episode.

The gals catch up on all the news and goss across the motorsports series, including our feralness over the first look of Lewis at Ferrari, Johnny Herbert being out of the FIA, and Toto's ban on Valterri's buns out calendar. As the world do be So Much right now, we share our little bits of joy in Charlotte's Geopolitical Corner, and we finish up with a game based on Psych (2006 -2014) which is for a very specific audience of... Us.

WE'RE BACK B1TCHES!!! In the first episode of Season Three, Almay, Charlotte, and Steph share their thoughts on Red Bull finally dropping Checo and all the other motorsport goss they missed. They also discuss Formula E in Mexico City and make extremely bold predictions for the motorsport season! 

They also bring season three of Gridlocked to the Formula E grid. No one is safe.

In this episode we discuss the first of the two triple headers before the F1 season is up, and boy have we had some doozies. We also discuss all the drama that has gone down since last episode, including Prema confirming their final line-up before their IndyCar debut, the F1 Academy championship prize being announced, and how Damon Hill is leaving Sky Sports but Danica Patrick still remains employed.

And we get to recount our grand roadtrip, finally meeting up irl for the first time, and getting to experience watching a race together in real time and not WhatsApp voice notes.

There's not really a Geopolitical corner this episode, but we do discuss the US election results from 34:50 to 37:44. So please avoid that if you (very validly) don't want to listen to that part.
