Off Track with Hinch and Rossi

Nice gear, cool mics, and the best software can all -sometimes- fail. So, this episode is brought to you by our back-up recording equipment. The guys talk about where they are in the season, then James talks about this biggest news facing him at this point in the year. Not the McLaren news, his wedding.

James and Alex (er... Alexander) talk about unsolicited twitter advice, and how they deal with criticism online. Next up, Alex sat down with Olympic Figure Skater, Adam Rippon, before his two-seater ride to start the Toronto Grand Prix. To wrap the episode up, Alex and James talk about where they are in the season after Iowa, what they expect from Mid-Ohio and the rest of the races, and James' upcoming wedding.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

The guys are all together again! They talk about where they are in the season, then welcome the very special guest, Robert Wickens. They talk about Robbie's return to a racetrack, before Alex and Thim definitively win the argument about the absurdity of Canadian money (in a non-controversial way). Then James and Robbie talk about the importance of the Toronto race to them.+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Rossi's enjoying a well earned break, but Hinch and Thim recap Road America, and talk about where the season stands, now. Then, author (and brother of Hinch), Christopher Hinchcliffe joins the show to talk about the application of rules in F1, and dives in a discussion about what the role of the stewards should be, and how rules should be applied. We dive into the weeds a bit on this one, so we hope the real racing fans will enjoy it!+++Follow us on Twitter at @askofftrack.

Hinch is taking a much needed, mid-season, vacation, so Alex and Thim check in from Indianapolis. A lot has happened since we last talked, so we recap the Indy 500, both Detroit races, and Texas. A lot of people are curious about what it takes for a driver to stay in shape to race in IndyCar, so we sat down with PitFit's own, Jim Leo to go into the methods behind the madness.
