Alanis, Elizabeth, and Nolan talk about a particularly major sporting event coming up – the Indy 500! Held on the same day as the Monaco Grand Prix, they go over the race’s history as a Formula One event, and how and why that changed. Then they walk us through the circuit at Imola in preparation for next week’s race (which at the time of this recording, was still happening). And, sidebar, do you think Enzo Ferrari would like ANY of us?

Even though Twitter thought this race was boring, Nolan LOVED it! Find out why on today's Donut Racing Show.

Nolan, Alanis, and Elizabeth take the F1 mini-break to talk about one of their favorite topics… TAX SEASON! Or rather, the end of it for our US compatriots. They explore the various ways major players in F1 have flirted with federal tax evasion – even Nolan’s favorite international husband, Lewis Hamilton, was named in the Paradise Papers. And what did team owner Gene Haas eat in prison? By the end of the episode, the crew determines that they’re just too busy to commit tax fraud.

Nolan, Alanis, and Elizabeth get into one of their favorite topics - sketchy F1 sponsors! With a focus on Moneytron (and its bizarre and eccentric “inventor”), a few fake prince schemes, and the hilariously incompetent Andrea Moda, we’re hoping this bite-sized episode of historical sponsors will satisfy anyone who loves a good scam artist story. And Charles Leclerc? We hope you’re doing OK, bud.

Alanis and Elizabeth welcome Nolan “Soulburner” Sykes back from vacation… and he’s got a thrilling BOMB TO DROP. Then the gang recaps last weekend’s extra-silly Australian Grand Prix… and seriously, where do they begin? From cost-saving suggestions for Red Bull and Christian Horner (courtesy of rookie Oscar Piastri’s grandma) to UNO at 100 mph to the threat of a Nico Hulkenberg podium, this one was WILD - and not just because there were four (or maybe three?) red flags. Go think about what you did, FIA.

Alanis, Elizabeth, and birthday boy Nolan recap the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – and they agree it was kind of a funny race? They talk about the upsets at qualifying, including Fernando Alonso’s start from the front row, and Max Verstappen’s start from the midfield. Then they get into the black magic and mind games at McLaren, Yuki’s intentional yelp, the broken-hearted Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen’s epic climb and Jos’s disappointment, and of course, the FIA’s frustratingly late ruling that led to a confusing podium. But if you take anything away from this episode – it’s that Twitter snitches get stitches.
