Racing Incident

You might think F1 is just about cars racing all over the world, but it’s also ground zero for the culture wars.  We were harshly reminded about that this week as many men in motorsport lost their fucking minds over Barbie memes, Danica Patrick let loose her internalized misogyny, and yet more men complained about kid presenters on the Sky F1 broadcast.  Also, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen (but mainly Lando) put on quite a show in the post-race press conference and we hated everything about it. The entitlement and lack of respect actually made us miss George Russell’s shenanigans. Say less, Lando. SAY LESS. We hope you enjoy the show!

Friend of the show James Coker is BACK and since he and Anna can’t stay on topic for too long, this episode is a wild ride so brace yourselves.  We get into the news of the week which ranges from serious topics like climate change, to a truly idiotic idea for the sprint races, to Christian shading Toto (and vice versa), and much, much more. Plus, Anna helps you get into IndyCar by telling you which driver you should support in that series based on who you like in F1, and we have an IndyCar airing of grievances. We like you IndyCar, but we fear that no one else ever will unless you up your marketing game and improve your broadcast. We hope you enjoy the show!

The British GP is over and what a week for McLaren, misogyny, and gatekeeping!  Plus, Mohammed Ben-Sulayem just wants someone talk to, Lawrence Stroll thinks he should be knighted, a Mercedes engineer tweets his feelings, AND SO MUCH MORE so get comfy and start listening neeeoooowww.

The Austrian GP happened and we’ll get there eventually, but first we needed to answer some questions like when will we start valuing the lives of young drivers? When will Helmut Marko go away? When will Danny Ric find shame and not consider going to the Red Bull junior team? Will Max Verstappen ever mature? (spoiler alert: no and stop claiming that it has happened already!) Track limits were the main character of the Austrian GP and we got into the clownishness of that whole situation. Frankly, we don’t understand why every week we have to brainstorm how to improve this shambolic “sport.” No one is paying us for this!  All this plus much, much more so what are you waiting for?

It’s an off week for F1 so we decided to take some time for that other series called IndyCar. And who better to take us through the tumultuous history of American open wheel racing than John Oreovicz, author of the seminal Indy Split. But while you might think IndyCar and F1 are two separate universes, they’re not.

Danny Ricciardo + Will Arnett = disaster. We did not enjoy The Grandstand, an Omaha Productions simulcast on ESPN which will unfortunately be repeated for COTA and Vegas. We could have done it better to be honest. Put us in, coach! We also didn’t enjoy George Russell’s latest ego trip, Sky F1 making fun of fashion in F1 by putting Ted Kravitz in idiotic looking clothes, and the supposed bromance between Lewis, Fernando, and Max.  Stop trying to make fetch happen, F1! These guys aren’t friends! And while we’re at it, maybe stop admiring Lewis for being so gracious and humble. Because we all know why it has to be that way.

We promise this is still a Formula One podcast, but Anna and Tasha had the BEST time talking about movies and TV series at the top of the show and also how we may or may not be spies but shhhh, you didn’t hear it from us. Would it have been good for Mick Schumacher to drive for Alpha Tauri? Should Tasha be a driver manager? We think she’s qualified. How will Danny Ric do as a commentator on ESPN and do we really want to see him racing again?  Anna expounds on why everyone should fear Oscar Piastri, we laugh our asses off about Nikita Mazepin’s delusions, dish about Lewis and Shakira, and much more!

Tasha and Anna are back and we’re joined by one of our fave Formula 1 content creators. He’s brand new to F1 (like SUPER brand new) and he’s living his best life being a clueless motorsport n00b, being embraced by female content creators like us, and making fun of all the same things that we love to make fun of. Come for James’ inexplicable admiring comments about Anna’s kitchen, stay for the discussion of all the important Spanish GP happenings, our continued quest to try to understand Max Verstappen, Indycar driver Will Power shading F1, our ideas for James’ future videos, and so much more!

Tasha is back for more and in the wake of the Monaco GP, we feel there are many conversations that need to be had. Why is George so obnoxious? Was Max’s pole lap really that good? Will Lance Stroll ever lose his seat? Can Checo still fight for the title? And finally, what does the reaction to Estie Bestie signal about some F1 fans?

Give it up for the incredible Tasha James! Tasha has been a beauty and skincare content creator for over a decade, but then the pandemic hit and there was a little show called Drive to Survive that you might have heard of and the rest, as they say, is history. We bonded instantly over the fact that we both got into F1 the same way, the things we love about the sport, the joy of finding a like-minded community of fans we can vibe with, and so much more!  Tasha then took us on a journey that you won’t want to miss. With her incredible wealth of knowledge, she gave us the F1 teams, but what if they were skincare brands? Honestly, this is the most amazing list; you’ll learn so much and be ready for your next shopping trip to Sephora. We also touched on Lewis to Ferrari rumors and icky Mercedes social content. Get your shit together, Mercedes social team!

If you’re on F1 Twitter and you don’t know Leo(na), you’re missing out. She’s an Alex Albon superfan and she’s living her best life as a F1 fangirl who hasn’t been watching motorsport since time immemorial. If you have a problem with that, you can STFU! You should listen to this episode just to hear Leo say “Michael Schumacher” the German way tbh, but you should also listen to hear us talk about how she became an Alex fan, why gatekeeping of F1 sucks, why we’re terrible at F1 Fantasy, and much, much more.

We welcome back one of our favorite people to the show. He hardly needs an introduction (and LL Cool J wouldn’t be his pick to give him one), but give it up for RJ Young! His day job is analyzing college football at Fox Sports, but he has been an F1 obsessive since 2007 and he also might have read every motorsport book in the world. Somewhere in this episode is some discussion of the race, but you know how we do it here. Tangents abound and we all just need to ride that wave together   We cover those driver intros, how Liberty Media is approaching the US market, how IndyCar should market itself, whether any of the F1 drivers are nice people, is Logan Sargeant a less likable Latifi, and too many other things to list here. Just start listening and enjoy!

Well, it was nice knowing you, Flip. While he’ll still shovel our videos onto YouTube for your viewing enjoyment, he’s leaving us to work on a project of his own. Don’t cry for us, Argentina! It’s probably not the last you’ll see of him and we all know he just wants to be eligible to win tweet of the week 😝

There was an agenda for this show, I SWEAR, but with two hilarious guys like Tim and Flip, it went off the rails real quick. It also went on for forever, but you know what? We’re not sorry, we regret nothing, and we hope you enjoy listening or watching to this as much as we enjoyed making it for you

We’ve dubbed him the bad boy of TeamLH, but in actuality Neil is quite lovely. Who’s Neil you ask? You most likely know him as thanos876. Neil and I talked about how he got into motorsport, whether darts is a sport (a fascinating debate, lol), whether F1 is a sport, why he’s optimistic about Mercedes’ future and much, much more! You won’t want to miss this conversation.

Our guest this week is a TeamLH celebrity! Put your hands together for the amazing Rashi! Her Instagram page is the definitive source for Lewis Hamilton’s fits, his jewelry, his shoes, and everything else that touches his body (heh heh). We talked about how fashion is taking over F1, how we wish that more drivers expressed themselves like Lewis does, and of course the backlash from many F1 fans to fashion’s place in the sport.  And that’s only the beginning! You’ll have to listen to find out how Lewis has personally inspired Rashi, what it’s like to be the chronicler of Lewis’ looks, listener questions, and what it was like when that Naomi Schiff interview put her on the map in a huge way.

For those who thought we left, we never left. We just moved aside for a while ;-) That’s right, WE ARE BACK with a vengeance, a new producer, a new format, a YouTube channel, and hopefully much more to come!   Much like our past episodes before the hiatus, this one is a journey so stick with us and we promise that in the future we’ll respect your time and keep the show to not much more than an hour long. Until that happens, we hope you enjoy this SUPERSIZED episode.

We’re back with a vengeance from our brief summer break! Well, maybe more a yawn than a vengeance since Spa was a bit boring this year. We touch on the highlights, such as they were, of the Belgian GP, but also why Stefano Domenicali is a dick, what’s next for Danny Ricardo, other silly season stuff, and much more.

Ellen steps into the role of #1 driver on this episode as Anna is out of commission and she’s pretty awesome at it. Luckily she’s not alone, as we have the talented Ash Vandelay on this episode for your listening enjoyment. Ash is a whiz at streaming, sim racing, and making all kinds of other content; we don’t know how she does it all! Ash talks about how she got into motorsport, streaming, being a woman in the space, and so much more. We know you’ll love hearing this conversation.
