Ford Performance: A Conversation with CEO Jim Farley

If you managed to stay awake for the entirety of this past weekends Japanese GP, congratulations! After a drama filled off week, we expected a little more action, but I'm sure our early triple header will deliver. Max showed complete domination once again, taking his first race win of the 2025 season and cutting McLaren's lead in the Constructors Championship to a single point. We're still not sure if McLaren knows what to do with their drivers but we do know that Mercedes is loving the sneaky consistency from theirs. Oh, and we hope Kimi passed his exams.Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk,pod to help us get to 13k followers!

Well, we did not think we'd be discussing a driver swap two races into the 2025 F1 season but here we are. Alas here we are and we have THOUGHTS. The episode is rounded out with some Indycar news and our hyperfixations of the week. Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod and help us get to 13 k!

Ferrari on top was a dream too good to be true. We had Piastri's first pole, Lewis' first sprint win, double Williams Points?? But sadly the highs didn't last long. Three disqualifications!! More RBR Second Seat nonsense!! What is going on in Formula 1? IndyCar is just as unpredictable - the only thing that we know to be true is Alex Palou is probably one of the best drivers in that series ever and Scotty Mac is our king.

F1 in 2025 is HERE and we are so pumped to finally see cars on track again. It was a wild race to say the least, but it definitely gave us lots to discuss - Are rookies cursed in Australia? Why have the rookies claimed Fernando Alonso? Did McLaren spend any time strategizing over the off-season? Is this the year Williams turns things around? We also discuss the entirety of Drive to Survive Season 6 and we have THOUGHTS. The episode is rounded out with the hyperfixation of the week and if you haven't seen our puppy interview on Youtube please go show it some love !Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod - we love u all xoxo

We did it y'all, we made it through the off-season and we are officially one race into the 2025 Indycar season. Is that too soon to start talking about championship contenders? Maybe not, but this season is definitely surprising us already. We chat about it all in this race recap episode + we discuss what we're hyperfixating on this week.Follow us on Instagram @Tracktalk.pod we love you all

If the episode title wasn't indication enough, we are SO ready for cars to be back on track. Until then we will discuss Lewis x Lululemon, My Fault: London being so Lando coded, Draco Malfoy being a race car driver &....... the Bat Boys. Look, the offseason has been long and it's almost over. In fact, for the first time this year we get a Track Stats with Han segment prefacing next weekend's Indycar season kickoff in St. Pete's. We're almost there folks, bear (and laugh along) with us.Follow us on Instagram @tracktalk.pod we love you all
