Pitwall Girls | A Formula 1 Podcast

The 2026 Formula 1 season is here — and Pitwall Girls is starting the year with a big announcement.

Darlene is joined by new co-host Ashley, and together we’re kicking off the season breaking down everything that went down at the Australian Grand Prix.

From Max somehow clawing his way back into the points after starting last, to Charles’ frustration with Mercedes’ performance, to the new regulations already changing race strategy — the grid is delivering drama from the very first race.

We also talk rookies to watch, unexpected moments from the race weekend, and the inside stories we’ve picked up from Monaco and Zandvoort.

And because this is Pitwall Girls… we’re also talking about the fangirl side of F1 — the fashion, the culture, and the hilarious questions from people who still don’t understand the obsession.

If you're new to Formula One or a lifelong fan, this episode is your perfect kickoff to the 2026 season.

Welcome Ashley. Welcome to the chaos. Let’s go racing.

This week Darlene & Nako recap the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which was honestly a bit of snooze fest until the last 10 laps of the race. We blinked and were suddenly treated to a bit of last minute action on track as Lando fought to catch up with Verstappen and almost became Lando Two Wins. Join us as we speculate the impact of recent car upgrades and get excited about Lando and Mclaren’s prospects for the rest of the year.

Off track, we catch up on the news and play a bit of Guess the Grid as we try to figure out where we’ll see all the drivers in 2025 and beyond. Where will Carlos Sainz go? Will we see Verstappen wearing different colors next year? Let us know what you think in the comments or on social media!

And of course, Carlos Sainz once again showcases his talent with a stellar performance – a true Sainz slay, if you will. If we were Ferrari, we'd undoubtedly be regretting our decision to let this superstar go next year.

Welcome back to Pitwall Girls with your favorite hosts, Darlene and Nako!

The F1 scene has been sizzling with gossip and rumors lately, and we can't wait to dive into it all with you.

So, can we talk about Adrian Newey for a sec? Aston Martin and Ferrari are practically throwing bags of cash at him. Will he stay loyal to Red Bull?! And then there's Daniel, facing a rumored two-race ultimatum - we don’t believe this, what are your thoughts?

Japan's FP1 will see Ayumu Iwasa have a go in an F1 car. McLaren announces David Sanchez's departure after only 3 months.

We've got some spicy speculation for you: could Kimi Antonelli be making his F1 debut mid-season? Will there be an Italian GP surprise?

McLaren has a slick new livery for Japan? Can we see a double podium and possibly a maiden win for one of the McLaren drivers? We're predicting the grid, fueled by the pressure with the Red Bull seats, Ricciardo, Yuki, Antonelli, Logan, and Liam. Oh, and let's not forget about Yuki’s & Iwasa's Honda connection + Honda’s partnership with Aston Martin in 2026!

With the Japan GP around the corner, we're wondering if the colder weather will shake things up—will Mercedes have the upper hand?

Of course, we'll be laying down our race predictions and chatting about Pierre's new merch. And welcoming Guenther Steiner to the gram.

TAKE ME TO THE ICE CREAM SHOP. YOU SCREAM, I SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR Charles Leclerc's ice cream. Seems like he will be opening up shop in Milan. Plus, Williams is in a bit of a pickle with no spare chassis until Miami—yikes!

As we gear up for Japan in the spring, we have one burning question: will we see wet tire compound tires hit the track?

And last but not least, could Sebastian Vettel be plotting a comeback? The rumors are swirling after his endurance test with Porsche and those talks with Toto Wolff.

So, grab your headphones and join us for all the F1 fun!
