We review the Portland GP in Indycar where Álex Palou can say hello to his third consecutive championship win if he can ward off Pato O’Ward, guard against Christian Lundgaard, and gain the will power to beat Will Power. Conor Daly brought his almost daily twitter spats on-track and demonstrates Indycar's vibe-based rules with his clash with the unchristianlike Christian Rasmussen. In Indy NXT, Dennis Hauger collects another win to see off the late, but unrealistic, championship charge from Caio Collet, which does not augur well for the Palou vs O’Ward battle to come.

In this week's episode we cover F1 and F2 in Budapest, Hungary. In F1, the drivers turn to the dark side as Max discovers littering, Lando discovers Nihilism, and Charles (finally) discovers his breaking point with Ferrari. In F2, we question how Martins found a picnic so fast after retiring and see if Fornaroli can win his first feature race in 4 years.

In this week's episode we cover F1 and F2 from Spa, Formula E from London, and Indycar from Monterey. In F1, pole is apparently the worst place to start this weekend as we see if anyone can stop the McLaren drivers from winning or if the rain will stop anyone from racing altogether. Speaking of the Macca boys, 2 out of 3 of their Indycar drivers delivered at Laguna Seca, with the third proving to be a seagull, rather than an albatross, around their necks. We also discuss whether race directors should use their god-like powers to determine race results; i.e. less Michael Masi, more Micheal Messiah. In F2, more post-race drama for Dunne keeps the drivers championship finely poised and Mini undergoes a mini-renaissance. Finally, in Formula E, the final 2 races of this season produced an exciting race and a boring race. Guess which one Peter was lucky enough to attend.

This week, we cover the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto, where an escaped pool noodle played havok with FP1, and Will Power played havok with Felix Rosenqvist’s front wing. In a week where Cookie Monster was grand marshall for the Brickyard 400, Callum Ilott was instead blaming other muppets for his #90 car not making the fast 6. Colton Herta and the other Andretti drivers were looking unstoppable as usual in Toronto, but luckily for Pato O’Ward, and unluckily for his car and engineer, a local bird had earlier dropped some good omens for his race. Finally, we end with a fun quiz on improbable race sponsors, posing such questions as whether the TreatMyClot dot com 300 was a real race or not.

We waited a few days to discuss the shock firing of Christian Horner by Red Bull racing, hoping for more details to emerge. However none did, leaving us to speculate wildly on the reasons and how it will affect Max. In Formula E, the pressure was measured in Pascals, as Wehrlein hoped to stop Oliver Rowland from being crowned champion, but in rain affected races, it was this season's forgotten men of Evans, Cassidy, and Dennis' time to shine. Then to Indycar, where we go from nice weather for ducks in Berlin, to nice weather for los patos (O’ward), as tornados upset proceedings in Iowa. However, there was no denying the unden-iowa-ble strength of Newgarden at this short oval, but can the king of Korn country use his Freak on a Leash speed and stop Penske from Coming Undone.

This week in Formula 1, the Lando-stans in the Lando-stands (and possibly also in the stewards room) hoped to celebrate a home grand prix at Silverstone. A wet race did create a final destination situation for the rookies, but added a pleasing degree of randomness to proceedings. In F2, Alex ‘Doona’ got his championship fight back on track and it was Browning’s turn to bully Martins this week. In Indycar at mid-Ohio, we saw more inevitable things: Palou dominating, Dixon fuel saving, Colton Herta having a bad pit stop, and Ferrucci being a menace, but we did finally end up with a new winner.

This week we cover the F1 from Austria, where we saw Lando dominate FP2, FP3, and Qualifying, thereby putting himself in prime bottling territory for the race. We also saw Carlos and Max demonstrate their precognitive powers by deeming their cars undrivable. Emma jumps back on the Liam hype-train, while also getting off the Yuki train, and briefly off then back onto the Kimi train. Peter, meanwhile, jumps on the McLaren conspiracy train, as Oscar almost violates the sacred Papaya Rules. In F2, old man Richard Verschoor had a good weekend, Pepe Marti made his case for best Red Bull Junior, and Gorden Bennett, we saw John Bennett on sprint pole. However, it’s Alex Dunne who continues to be the main character of F2, despite not having the best time on track.

This week we cover Formula E from Jakarta, where we see the rise of ‘the bad boy of FE’, but is that Dan Ticktum or Nyck DeVries? Next we briefly cover Indy NXT to discover who is the Norwegian Nightmare and who are his main opponents. Lastly, we cover a great Indycar race at Road America, where good racing was punctuated by several cautions, leading to a thrilling end where the leaders might run out of fuel. We also saw Conor Daly debut his fursona.
