Elle is on vacation this week so Anna is joined by friend of the show and all around amazing human being, RJ Young. RJ’s day job revolves around college football, but he has been watching and loving F1 for 15 years and it shows.

We chatted about Monaco’s future on the calendar, F1, the dreaded grid walk, the possibly uncertain futures of drivers like Danny and Mick, Ferrari’s struggles, and SO much more. Listen, we know this episode is long, but we promise it’s worth it.

Make sure you follow RJ on Twitter (https://twitter.com/RJ_Young) and on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/rjyoungshow/) and also follow our show there too.

Sorry again about some audio issues, y’all; Elle is still in San Francisco and recording isn’t optimal.

We rambled about stuff like whether Elle is being done over by capitalism and how we would handle the heat of the Spanish GP, but we promise we get to the racing eventually!

We talk about Lewis’ amazing drive, George’s incredible defense against Max, the dreaded drone, Carlos’ continuing struggles, whether Checo was screwed over, an update on Indy500 qualifying, and more.

Elle is in San Francisco and Anna forgot how the “record” button works so this is actually TAKE TWO of the podcast this week. We’re also sorry for the audio weirdness; we will iron it out for next week, we promise.

Do you want to see us on YouTube, dear listeners? Let us know on Twitter or send us an email. Scroll to the end of the show notes for our email address and Twitter handle although you should know them by heart, obviously.

Colton Herta did some bonkers shit this past weekend, but is F1 anti-American even though they love our money? George Russell sure seems to be and we are side-eyeing him bigtime.

We also gave marketing tips to IndyCar, talked W Series, whether F1 and the FIA might be breaking up and much, much more!

Stuff we talked about:

• Our YouTube interview with Cameron: https://youtu.be/sP989yOviOs
• Pitlane Parley:

Well, Miami happened and it was kind of snoozer. We’re sure it was a kickass party if you were there, but we didn’t sell one of our kidneys so we couldn’t afford to go and neither could most American fans.

Since the race was boring, we instead spent a lot of time bitching about the FIA’s continued jewelry and underwear crusade amidst ACTUAL safety concerns in Miami, clueless team principals, and much more.

Sorry the episode is so late this week y’all, but as you know we are an independent podcast made with love so sometimes things don’t go to plan.

Anyway! There was A TON to talk about this week even though there was no race including some major drama in IndyCar involving a certain ex-F1 driver, Will Buxton being Will Buxton, MIami politics, and much, much more.

Please enjoy and remember to subscribe and share the show with others you think might like it. The more we grow, the more cool stuff we will be able to do so help your girls out.

No race? No problem. We take this opportunity to shout out some nice reviews we’ve gotten, shake our heads at ex-F1 drivers no one has heard of talking smack about Lewis, and more.

Most importantly, we delve into the issue of how sporting events like the Miami Grand Prix are often held in majority Black/POC areas against the wishes of residents of those communities.

We finally had a race to talk about! But did we? Ehhh, sort of. We talked about the important things, ok? Like Max’s DNF and why we feel no shame at delighting in it.

Your girls might be getting a bit into IndyCar after Anna’s appearance on a podcast that covers both F1 and Indy. Are we cheating on F1? Stay tuned to find out! Also, can someone tell us why IndyCar races are SO CHEAP!!! Does anyone know? Anyone?… And why F1 races are so expensive by comparison? Something fishy is going on here!

Is it ok for Toto to still be talking shit about Michael Masi? If you’re a queer person, how do you feel about the F1 drivers playing gay for laughs? Who will get the US TV rights to F1 in 2023? All this and so much more; listen now!
