The Outside Line Podcast

This week we cover the F1 Spanish GP taking place at the new Madring circuit, which somehow managed to make the, usually fun and chaotic, F2 and F3 races boring. In the absence of any actual on-track overtaking, we search for what entertainment we can find in a processional race. We do discover Emma’s true calling in life though, which is telling George Russell and Zak Brown to shut up.  The new track does mix up the order in F2 as Hitech and DAMS are surprisingly fast, while both championship contenders, Camara and Tsolev, struggle to win points. We also check in on the final standings in F3 and FREC.Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.

This week we cover the F1 race in Monza and the Indycar finale at Laguna Seca. In F1, Kimi Antonelli obviously had his morning Espresso as he went from the back  to the front to challenge George Rus-tretto for the win. It was a great weekend for the French Press as Alpine took a surprising pole, while, at their home race, Ferrari did not deliver and instead we saw a Cold war Brewing. In Indycar, Alex Pour-over had already wrapped up the championship but Kyle Keurig-wood, Christian Lungo-ard, and Podo O’Ward were still fighting for the runner up spot. Finally, in F2, it was a bad couple of days for Americano Colton Herta, but in the championship battle, Rafael Crema closed the gap to leader Nikola Solo. Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.

This week we cover the two Indycar races in Milwaukee, as Palou looks to wrap up the championship. Despite rain causing significant disruption to the weekend, the Milwaukee Mile delivers some fun races with every round of pit stops seemingly shuffling the pack a little. The only real constant being Rahal and Siegel getting in the way. After Honda comfortably win the manufacturers championship, they take their foot off the gas as Chevy somehow dominates in both races. Penske and McLaren emerge as the most likely winners, but whoever wins, we hope they don’t celebrate with a Gatorade dunk. Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.

This week we cover the return of F1 in Zandvoort following the summer break and the Freedom 250 on the streets of Washington DC in Indycar. Changeable weather conditions led to an apparently nervous Lando Norris defenestrating himself pre-race to reach the track, although more likely it was just to avoid Craig Slater. We also learnt that Max Verstappen signed a new 3 year deal with Red Bull this week which apparently included the option to watch the race from the pitlane if he so wishes. In Indycar, while there were ELMS and IMSA races this weekend, the real endurance racing was to be found in DC, as the length of the race was exhausting. There was no doubt that only an American racer would be allowed to win. So, the only question was which one of the eight American-born drivers would it be (although not even the Deep State could manufacture a Sting-Ray Robb victory).Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.

This week we cover FE in London and Indycar Markham. It was a dramatic end to the FE season as team-mates, and even customer-team-mates, got involved in a tight battle for the championship. A chaotic end to race 2 determined the overall winner which overshadowed an incredible fumble by Mahindra, who somehow lost a race no one was trying to win. A trip to the new street circuit in Markham also provided a dramatic race in Indycar, as it levelled the playing field, allowing both rookies, Foster and Schumacher and oldies, Grosjean, Power, and Ericsson, to shine.Music provided by Sascha Ende under the CC BY 4.0 license: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted on Acast.
