We are so back (Michael Andretti is not, though). The Andretti F1 bid got accepted, but Andretti is both involved and uninvolved in it now. Michael Andretti is no longer in charge of Andretti, which is now owned by two billionaires. Many of our favorite F1 conspirators...sorry, characters from parts 1 and 2 are back and may or may not have plotted to commit antitrust crimes over WhatsApp. It's okay, though because they undid their alleged crime and live, laugh, love GM now. But also, unsurprisingly, everyone involved ended up looking like a hypocrite, which Lauren spends most of this episode screaming about. This is...alot.

Surprise! IndyCar (allegedly) has crime now and in typical fashion, Lauren has much to say about it. In this episode, she discusses the few available media reports of what happened at RLL, federal criminal procedure, the Economic Espionage Act, and vicarious liability. Not bad for a day's worth of research.

Part 2 is finally here, and Lauren basically turned it into antitrust law 101. This episode covers how the DOJ works, a short history of antitrust law, how the DOJ-F1 case fits within current case law, and what could happen next.

Because everything is happening all the time, Lauren covers the big motorsports legal stories from the last two weeks and their implications. The Dutch government threatened to seize Haas F1’s cars & other assets over a contract dispute. IndyCar might not be available on a streaming service next year. Plus, F1 may or may not be threatening to sue fan content creators for trademark infringement. From US sanctions to preliminary injunctions to circuit splits on nominative fair use, this episode has it all.

In January, Formula One denied Andretti's application to enter F1 as an 11th team. Now, 8 months later, the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Liberty Media/F1 for possible antitrust violations. In part one of this two-part series, Lauren looks at all the events leading up to the investigation and theorizes why F1 may have rejected Andretti.

Lauren is here with an IndyCar silly season reality check and spoiler alert: it's sillier than ever. Logan Sargeant is leaving Williams & going to IndyCar (or is he?) and CGR is cutting cars & ruining Lauren's deeply held delusions.

Arrow McLaren is involved in drama again, so Lauren recaps the week, discusses some legal issues that probably weren't involved, some non-legal things that probably were, why some people need their twitter passwords revoked, and finally, has a moment of silence for Alexander Rossi's thumb.

In her Rossi Fan State of the Union Address, Lauren explains the little-known pandemic spreading across the online IndyCar fandom and her reaction to the news of the day then dramatically reads her tweets/messages catastrophizing about this exact situation. Finally, she explains why she thinks Alex and McLaren couldn't agree and what she thinks should happen next.

Arrow McLaren has had 6 different drivers signed to drive the 6 car in just over a year. Lauren attempts to explain how they probably did it and, in the process, yells about CBAs, a potential IndyCar charter system, and overpaid college football coaches.
