Track Talk Podcast

Are YOU ready for the Indy 500? We sure are and we’re here to get you prepared for the greatest spectacle in racing!! From Quali to Fast Friday to the race itself, there’s so much to look forward too. We’re also here for your Push to Pass Gate Updates, Imola Track Stats and a lot more off topic conversations (but that’s typical at Track Talk)

If you’re a Lando fan, this weekend was for you. If you’re an Oscar fan, we are so sorry and if you’re a Carlos fan…at least he won best radio messages. If we learned anything from Miami, K Mags is the type of guy you want in your corner also Checo and Emma have very similar driving habits. This episode is all over the place, from popping champagne to finally addressing David’s release from Arrow McLaren, there’s certainly lots to discuss and are you surprised that boy bands is brought up? You shouldn’t be.

What is going on at Red Bull? Will we see an end to their dominance in the near future? What about Williams? Stake F1? So many speculations so little time! Meanwhile things are heating up over in IndyCar as well, thank god for the mannequin breaking some of the tension. There’s never a dull moment in motorsports, and with Miami and the 500 just around the corner we’re more excited than ever.

We weren’t at Long Beach but our bestie Mak (maklovesmotorsport) was! She highlights her favourite parts, the best interactions and some funny encounters. Like us, Mak was introduced to motorsport beacuse of DTS and now does what she can to bring F1 fans over to Indy. We chat about the icon that is Scott Dixon, the difference in penalties between the two series and of course we show the Arrow McLaren drivers some love all while counting down the days until the Indy500!

The Chinese GP came with a few surprising moments, like the literal grass starting on fire and the 180 for Lewis in less than 12 hours. But hey, we enjoyed it just like Charles is enjoying life as a dog dad and a gelato brand owner. If anyone thrived this weekend, it was Zhou, if anyone needs a time out..it’s definitely Lance. And like always we’re still trying to figure out who’s taking that second Red Bull seat next year. Also if you’re a Swiftie, the last 5 minutes of the episode are for you.

Shoutout Lance for making the red flag entertaining (to Emma, at least) The Japanese GP was entertaining to say the least but we’re more curious about what the future looks like for motorsports. The 2025 grid? F1 Academy? IndyCar change ups??? We want to know !!!! Also, we’re not letting Sauber fly under the radar this year, we’re keeping an eye on them just like Liam Lawson is keep an eye on Danny’s seat.

What happens when 3 motorsport girlies go to an IndyCar race weekend? A lot of content, a lot of stories and a lot of chaos. From driver interactions to being absolutely starstruck at meeting our idols, it’s safe to say that Track Talk (Hannah, Emma AND Boston) made the most of our time at Thermal Club. We have to thank you, our followers, and IndyCar for making this happen and we hope you enjoy our 1.5 hour long episode of us just trying to convince you to love this series as much as we do. (If Pato and David haven’t convinced you to tune in yet, hopefully this episode will)

FINALLY – the exciting news we’ve been waiting to share! Big things are happening at Track Talk and big things are also happening in Formula E, and by that we mean drama. We can still take a second to appreciate the drivers though. And can we talk about Haas? What do they have in store for next year? We have an Indy and an F1 race this weekend and we get you prepped for both, if you can make it through the dozens of times we get sidetracked. But hey, we’re just girls and also, Lando is just a guy.

We're talking two races this weekend! IndyCar season opener and F1 Race 2 in Saudi Arabia! For the 100th time, if you’re not watching Indy you’re missing out on some amazing action and also..who doesn’t love Pato O’Ward? Across the globe, Alpine was Alpine-ing, Haas actually had a good back up plan and don’t talk to Emma about Lance pls. Ollie showed up and showed OFF this weekend (Someone sign him for 2025 or else!!) And finally, for all females in motorsport, fans, creators, employees, we see you, we hear you!

Caitlyn brown: Team Penske’s only female over the wall pit crew mechanic and the first to win the Indy 500 in May of 2023. She’s an iconic, she’s making history, and all she wants to do is win. She chats about her career, her team, the best parts about IndyCar and a little bit about what Josef Newgarden is like in real life. We are so happy to call her a friend and an inspiration as Caitlyn has opened doors for females in motorsport and she she will continue do so, rocking that ponytail the entire time. 

The first race of the season was exactly what we expected! Max won, no one knew what to call Stake F1 and Carlos showed us exactly what he can do. Alpine wins an award for creating a bus for the 2024 season (hey at least it isn’t a tractor) and Alex, we just gotta thank you for giving us the best moment of the race - IYKYK. VCARB girlies are fighting, there’s some trouble in paradise over at Red Bull, but hey, we got a Loint! For our Indy Besties, the countdown is officially on for their first race of the season and make sure you keep your eye out for some exciting things happening at Track Talk!

Did episode 1 of DTS season 6 turn you into a Lance fan? Welcome to the club bestie! If you’re not the Live Love Lance train yet, that’s okay too, the year is still early. There are some change ups in our favorite drivers and teams this year, but hey, we’re just girls, we change our mind a lot. We may not have watched all of DTS but we watched enough to know that VCARB is not going to be an easy name to get used to and while we’re at it, we might as well change Stake’s name again too! All that really matters is the season opener is upon us and we are ready take on the record breaking 2024 F1 calendar with all of you!

New rule for 2024: Stay off the bikes. Now that that’s out of the way, we are so excited to have the girls on for a fun F1 Bingo episode and to no ones surprise, we do get sidetracked many times. (We’re just girls, we can’t help it) From 2025 driver theories to who we want/don’t want to see in the paddock we really touch on just about anything that could happen this year. Grab an empty bingo card and create one alongside us to make the most out of this already chaotic season. 

So many livery launches and we are HERE for it!! We’re also here for the amount of times Taylor Swift is brought up in the episode (we’re just girls, we’re not sorry about it). A new face makes it onto Crush Tracker and we take it back a little and get nostalgic with some Kim Possible and Cars references thanks to Mr. Valtteri Bottas. The green is bold - so is the fact that they may not even be able to race under the name Stake F1. Lots of opinions and as always, lots of laughs as we continue to prepare for the upcoming season

We’re a little late to the game but we’re still going to spend half the episode talking about Lewis to Ferrari along with all of our backless theories on what the future looks like for Mercedes. And don’t think we’ve forgotten about Andretti being denied that 11th spot in Formula 1…we would love to hear Gwen Stefani’s opinions on that. Lastly, we ventured into a new motorsport series this week (well…kind of) it’s definitely safe to say we’re staying more up to date with F1 Academy than we are with Nascar - but we love you Ryan Blaney. 

Round 2 of Track Talk x David Malukas - just what we've all been waiting for! Trying to learn a thing or two about IndyCar? David’s got you covered. Want to hear about his offseason shenanigans? David’s got you covered. You want to get hype about the Arrow McLaren car launch? David’s got you covered!!! Buckle up and get to know the one and only David ‘Papaya Dave’ Malukas and you’ll come to see why he’s slowly but surely becoming everyone’s new favorite driver. 

One week closer to the start of the Formula 1 and IndyCar seasons but there’s still plenty happening…like IMSA and suddenly a new motorsport docuseries to look forward to? Shoutout Nascar for jumping on the DTS trend. There are some changes at Ferrari but one thing remains the same and that is Charles will literally never leave Ferrari, but he isn’t the only driver with a strong commitment to his team. Crush Tracker returns and we may or may not get side tracked coming up with our own F1 murder mystery but you’ll have to listen to find out what our ideal Knives Out cast is (not sponsored but should be)PS - Make sure to send us your questions for David Malukas

Don’t know a thing about Formula E? Don’t worry, we didn’t either and to be honest, we’re still learning, but Emma walks you through the basics and what you need to know for Season 10 of the electric motorsport series. Along with a Mexico E-Prix recap, we chat about the influencers you’ll see around the track and some ways to watch the sport (spoiler: its not on F1TV). Let us know if you’ll be watching this season and who you’re rooting for!

Track Talk is BACK for a second season and we are here to catch you up with what’s been happening during the off season. From the shocking announcement about Haas to Lando’s new favorite insta pose, we’ve got you covered. Emma is still on the Live Love Lance train, Hannah’s got some opinions about a change up at Ferrari and we have quite a bit to say about IndyCar’s Arrow McLaren team. Side note - thank you for supporting a couple of delusional girlies and we are so excited to take on the 2024 motorsports season with you..and did we mention we now have a YouTube channel? Go check it out besties!

It’s the end of Season 1 of Track Talk but we still have a few things to stay so buckle up besties. For starters, we are Team Susie and obviously, so is Lewis Hamilton, Oscar might be the funniest person to exist - but it’s still up for debate, and if you’re wondering what is going on with Charles’ contract extension…join the club. F1 season aside, we dive into the history of our friendship and the roots of Track Talk. There have been highs, there have been lows but the future looks bright (especially because we are actually going to be attending races in 2024) Thank you for your support, for your love and for your laughs. Kachow for now!WE HAVE MERCH!https://www.furiousmotorsport.com/collections/track-talk
