We also discuss, in depth, not just our thoughts on Brad Pitt’s new F1 teaser trailer (we both agree that we’re not convinced), and talk about:

-What the very short trailer DOES tell us

-What we DO know about the plot

-Who we already know of major roles in the cast, including Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Sarah Niles, Kerry Condon, Simone Ashley and more (plus a few new announcements in recent weeks)

Joined by this week’s guest host, Kathryn’s dad Paul, they discussed:

-A Max Verstappen-esque statistical rundown of Lewis Hamilton’s records broken this weekend at Silverstone

-The battle brewing between McLaren and Ferrari for P2 in the Constructors championship.

-And of course, relive our British Grand Prix predictions.

Up next…a week off, and then we head to the Hungaroring for the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix!

It’s time for the 2024 European triple-header, first stop: the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix!

In today’s episode, filmed with an active summer camp outside Kathryn’s window while Emily’s chilling in a hotel in…Chile, the week off between races has left us with a TON to talk about.

And of course, we couldn’t kick off today’s episode without a little (more) discussion of Carlos Sainz’ future on the grid, and when we think we’ll hear him finally make a decision that almost half the grid is also waiting for (and, you know, his fans too).

We also discuss:

-Charles Leclerc’s opportunity to represent his country when the 2024 Olympic Flame traveled through Monaco

-That we FINALLY have a release date for the Brad Pitt F1 movie

-Why Alpine may consider going to a new engine supplier for the 2026 regulations

-Why the FIA added a caveat to the Max Verstappen Super License Rule to allow Kimi Antonelli to participate in practice sessions prior to his 18th birthday this coming August.

-An update on the F1 Academy leading to this weekends’ support races in Barcelona (including why Mercedes’ Doriane Pin was forced to miss out on Le Mans)

-Our opinions on Sky Sports commentary personalities

-And our predictions for the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix (which will hopefully get us points because it’s been a minute since either one of us scored on a prediction)

-And more!

2026 F1 Technical Regulations…as explained by a woman whose degree is in poetry. This will go super well, right?

Featuring:

-Smaller, more “nimble” cars

-Less downforce

-Better aerodynamics

-No more DRS

-A replacement for DRS

The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix may go down as one of the best races of this season.

It. Had. Everything.

DNFs, TWO safety cars, dumb Ferrari tyre strategy, drivers crashing into each other, spins, a false start that probably wasn’t, Alpine double points!

Kathryn & Emily break it all down, from:

-Zak Brown’s McLaren tattoo update

-Yuki Tsunoda’s contract extension with VCARB (and why the move makes us think he’ll join Aston Martin in 2026)

-Daniel Ricciardo’s EPIC Syrup Badger helmet

-Max Verstappen winning his 60th career race

-How McLaren probably blew Lando Norris’ chances of winning in Montreal thanks to some suspect strategy

-George Russell with another hilarious radio call en route to a disappointing P3 from Pole

-Daniel Ricciardo vs. Jacques Villeneuve, enough said.

-Alpine’s double points finish!

-The disaster of a day for Ferrari with Monaco winner Charles Leclerc retiring and Carlos Sainz crashing out of the race

-Sergio Perez doing Sergio Perez things, but not in a good way...

-How this epic, rainy weekend completely demolished our GP predictions.

-And more

It’s summertime for the Going Off Track podcast, and the Canadian Grand Prix marks our Instagram account’s 1-year anniversary! Don’t forget to follow us at @Going.Off.Track for our updates and anecdotes between episodes.

(Programming note: as it IS summer and Kathryn’s running a camp while Emily is traveling, our schedule for posting may be a bit flexible over the next few months. Follow us on Instagram for updates on when new episodes will drop.)

More importantly, Kathryn & Emily had a lot of news to react to in the weeks between the Monaco and Canadian Grands Prix, including:

-Esteban Ocon parting ways with Alpine at the end of the season

-The unsurprising news of Sergio Perez resigning with Red Bull (BUT the surprise of the duration of his new contract)

-Why we think that FIA boss Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s backtracking on Andretti bringing and 11th team to the grid may mean certain doom for Haas, especially in light of the announcement of the Stewart-Haas NASCAR team shutdown at the end of 2024

-Lewis Hamilton’s entertaining and (at moments) unhinged appearance at Hot Ones

-Our thoughts on the news that Red Bull believes it may struggle in Canada, especially in light of the fact that Ferrari is only 24 points behind in the constructor’s standings

-What this week’s weather forecast means for the race weekend

-Our 2024 Canada Predictions

-And, of course, more.
