  • Episode 33: After the Race - Saudi Arabian Grand Prix (What The Hell Happened?!)

    New team member alert! Join us in welcoming Courtney Eves to the Get Checkered team.

    This Grand Prix was a mess. From the collisions in F2 to the ethics of racing in a country that continues to violate human rights to Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton not being able to keep it on the track. The girls talk smack about the FIA and how they need to do a better job at explaining what the hell is going on. Also, Esteban Ocon was robbed. He should've been the driver of the day!

    We head into Abu Dhabi hoping that all the drivers can remain safe!

    Check out the Formula 1 | Saudi Arabian GP, Daniel Ricciardo's cringey video, and the FIA's decision on Max and Lewis' collision.

  • Episode 25: After the Race - Turkish Grand Prix
    On this episode of Get Checkered, Canadian Formula One Fans, Shanika (@shanabeysinghe) and Caitlin (@caconne), share their thoughts on the Turkish Grand Prix held at the Istanbul Park Circuit. This is a loaded episode - full of weekly updates, track facts, qualification highlights, race day overview, and a rundown of the post-race interviews. There was a drizzle of rain throughout the whole race, and there were several different tyre strategies attempted (not all of them deemed very "successful"). We heard a strong difference of opinion between Lewis and the Mercedes team, and the question of "should Lewis just have stayed out? Did he really need to change his tyres?" will be a point of discussion for several days. On the other side of the Mercedes garage, pure joy as Valtteri finally reached his 10th Grand Prix victory after a wonderful drive the whole day, and we have the two bulls to round up the podium.

  • Episode 24: Weekly Headlines and MGUs

    Welcome back for another episode of Get Checkered! This week, the girls go over several weekly headlines and do a special on Motor Generator Units (MGUs). Some of the weekly headlines include topics such as the Giovinazzi and Alfa Romeo saga, Mercedes' power unit performance, VW group entering into the F1 engine world, and the GP announcement for Qatar 2021 (and the next 10 years). MGUs have been in the news quite a fair bit lately, so we thought we should dive in and find out more about them. What are they? Why are they so important? Check out this episode to find out.
