Some Things Never Change (Josef Newgarden is rly good, Ferrari strategy is rly bad)

We missed formula 1. Didn’t miss Ferrari strategies. Or lack of them. The Mercedes are on fire whereas McLaren …. Yikes. Lots went down in the first week back and we are here to yap about it. Over on the indy side, Josef Newgarden ????? Where did he come from ??? Alex Palau has lost his 600+ day lead and also we love Louis Foster.

The honeymoon phase has come and gone, but don’t get it twisted…we still love motorsports. We also love love and we can admit when we’re a little jealous of a wedding as glamorous as Charles and Alexandra’s. IndyCar finally started and Emma would like to formally apologize to Dale Coyne for doubting them, but we’re keeping an eye on you...and also Cadillac F1 because I guess they’re a thing now??

We're talking all things winter olympics, Kardashians and plane flying but don't worry, this is still a motorsports podcast. Cut us some slack we have a few weeks till green flag we're just passing the time.

Title says it all! ford racing and our recap of our week in detroit, plus our interview with Daniel Ricciardo! Literally the best way to start off the year, don't you think?

Do Lando and Oscar lack “playoff experience”? Probably. Is Ferrari okay? No. Do we need to leave Kimi alone? Uhhh absolutely. Qatar wasn’t wild but that just means Abu Dhabi will be. Shoutout Williams for that podium and also RBR for finally announcing their 2026 line up. OH and Mick to IndyCar baby!!!

Max won and then Lando finished second but then actually just kidging he’s disqualified and oh wait so is Oscar?? The race may have been dull but the aftermath certainly isn’t. Was Lance robbed or is Emma just actually insane? You know who is robbed though..every second driver at RB but that’s an ongoing conversation. Anyway Lewis now works at Lululemon. (IYKYK)

WHAT. A. RACE. Lando takes a controlling lead over the WDC. Max finishes P3 from the pitlane. Kimi & Liam put up epic defences. & Ferrari.... well Ferrari was there. This episode recaps our most exciting race of the season yet!Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod we love you all

TLDR: Lando's leading the WDC, Ollie is a future WDC, Max is fighting for his 5th WDC and George Russell is still an icon.

Another year, another amazing race from COTA.... Unless you're a McLaren driver or fan that is. Is it finally time for McLaren to decide who their WDC candidate is? Will Max complete the comeback for his 5th WDC? Is Yuki too hard on Liam? All these questions & more are discussed.We love you all, please follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod AND subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can find video podcast episodes !!

We finally got to yap with a Track Talk fav, Indy's home hero.. Conor Daly! As someone who has been in the motorsports scene for a while he's got a lot to say, specifically about the new fans coming in, the Indy to F1 (nearly impossible) pipeline, and the truth behind sponsorships.
