July 25, 2022 Ep. 62: The French Grand Prix Proves that Ferrari is a Mess
We missed you last week! Our lives got a little wild and we couldn't coordinate an episode before the French GP.
ANYWAYS Join Shanika and Caitlin as they go over the winners and losers from the French GP. Ferrari is a mess, Max Verstappen continues to lead the championship without a meaningful contender, and everyone else is a mess at mid-grid or back of the grid. We are so looking forward to summer break!

July 04, 2022 Ep. 60: Carlos Sainz finally wins at the British Grand Prix!
HAPPY RACE DAY! The boys were back at Silverstone and so were the fans. Carlos Sainz finally got his first win in F1, Lewis Hamilton was on top form, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen struggled. Both Zhou Guanyu and Alex Albon walked away from a very scary accident - proving again how important the halo is. And, we FINALLY get to record in person. Talk about a wild weekend.

June 27, 2022Ep. 59: Spilling all the Tea about the Montreal Grand Prix
It's kind of a weird week eh? Courtney gives us all the tea from her trip to the Montreal Grand Prix including the good (UM she met Carlos), the bad (hello rain!), and the ugly (why is food at the race so expensive??). Escape for a little bit before, we go back to fighting the good fight.

June 20, 2022 Ep. 58: The Canadian Grand Prix is Lewis Hamilton's Lucky Charm
The drivers came to Montreal and gave us a show! Red Bull continued their weird blend of dominance (Max) and failure (engine issues for Checo), Lewis Hamilton finally got back on the podium and the Mercedes tractor FINALLY showed a little bit of pace, Charles LeClerc battled from the back and many teams were...unremarkable (here's looking at you McLaren, and Alpha Tauri).

June 13, 2022 Ep. 57: What the Ferrari Happened at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
We should have predicted that Baku would. be unpredictable. From turn one the race was a little all over the place: Sergio Perez taking the lead, the Ferraris and Ferrari-powered teams losing all power, George Russell having a rather lonely race while Lewis Hamilton destroyed his back working his way up the grid, and the Alpha Tauri crew using duct tape the best way possible.

The teams and, literally everyone else, heads to Montreal next week!

June 06, 2022 Ep. 56: Checo Re-signs with Red Bull, the Cost Cap...and Shakira?
Okay, so we gossip a lot in this episode.
We chat about what Sergio Perez's new contract with Red Bull means for Pierre Gasly and Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio's cheating rumors, Gerard Pique's cheating scandal (lol), the elder Verstappen not being too happy, and the cost cap.
It was a wild week in F1 news - what can we say!

May 30, 2022 Ep. 55: Checo wins Monaco!
Okay, we have to stop calling races boring because Monaco was spicy. This race had everything: Ferrari's poor strategy, an unexpected winner, and actual overtaking (hello Pierre Gasly!)
Congrats to Sergio Perez! A well-deserved win after the team orders in Barcelona. We are excited to see what Red Bull will do for the rest of the season...will they call team orders? will they let the boys race?

May 23, 2022 Ep. 54: The Spanish Grand Prix - Is Mercedes Back?
With overtakes, competitive driving, and unpredictable DNFs, Barcelona proved to be more exciting than we ever expected. Lewis Hamilton had one of his most memorable drives, George Russell proved that he would be world champion soon, Sergio Perez deserves to have a win, and Max Verstappen needs a new radio.
This year is shaping up to be more interesting than we ever expected. Bonus: you'll hear Shanika react live to her friend getting engaged!
