In this episode, Wame sits down with a wonderful group of women and friends of the pod who share how they got into F1, their favourite and least liked drivers and play a bunch of games. It can be easy to forget that Formula 1 is meant to be fun, and this episode is about embracing fun in F1.

Langa sat down for a chat with media personality, presenter, travel influencer and petrol head Kriya Gangiah. Kriya is a prominent figure on the South African motorsport scene and gave amazing insights on a variety of topics including Her journey into motorsport productions, the value of working hard whilst making sure you have the requisite downtime and how F1 has changed from the days of re-fueling,

We also spoke about the state of motorsport in South Africa, increasing access to the field for women and talk about the difficulties that South Africa faces to host an F1 Grand

The importance and significance of Lewis Hamilton winning his 8th world championship.

Kriya is a wealth of knowledge, a wealth of knowledge, and just an incredibly inspiring woman.

Langa and Wame are back after the inaugural Miami Grand Prix where they discuss in detail: Mercedes' woes including the car, pitwall communication and online fanbase. We also discuss the frailties of all the engine manufacturers but disagree about a ton of issues including how good Charles Leclerc is. And of course, we had to discuss Martin Brundle's Grid Walk.

Langa and Wame are back to discuss the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. Nicholas Latifi crashed 3 times in a single weekend which has us questioning what he's doing in the sport. The Alpine's hard amongst themselves and there will be a lot of head scratching at the Mercedes works and customer teams.

Langa and Wame are back to discuss a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc ended a 46 race winless streak for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton was able to drag a struggling Mercedes to a podium position after a double DNF disaster for Red Bull. We make some predictions about the season ahead and realise we actually have no idea what's happening across most of the field - which is exciting.

In this episode we are joined by journalist Ed Spencer and Nyasha from Quick Stop F1 Podcast. This was a detailed review of the season on the track and inevitably, off the track. Ed and Nyasha bring a wealth of knowledge and great humour to the conversation. We were reminded that Formula 1 is as much about what happens on track as it is about the communities we form around it.
