Racing Incident

Episode 039. Ground Zero for the Culture Wars


Listen Later

You might think F1 is just about cars racing all over the world, but it’s also ground zero for the culture wars. 

We were harshly reminded about that this week as many men in motorsport lost their fucking minds over Barbie memes, Danica Patrick let loose her internalized misogyny, and yet more men complained about kid presenters on the Sky F1 broadcast. 

Also, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen (but mainly Lando) put on quite a show in the post-race press conference and we hated everything about it. The entitlement and lack of respect actually made us miss George Russell’s shenanigans. Say less, Lando. SAY LESS.

We hope you enjoy the show!
