Girls Just Wanna F1

Jamie Chadwick is back for a quick (does she know any other way??) chat about what she’s been up to since she last stopped by the pod. This girl is so busy idk how she managed to squeeze us in, BUT WE LOVE HER FOR IT.
Jamie talks about starting her own karting series, how being a driver is constantly being humbled, her maiden F1 test for Williams (that she almost thought might not happen), what it means to mentor the next generation of female drivers, the shocking thing she’s secretly bad at, and the one person she’ll actually let drive her around.
You know, very casual groundbreaking, history-making, world champion (x3!!!) things. 
Catch Jamie on track and commentating this weekend with Sky Sports for COTA in Austin!

If you’ve been around a minute, you know that it’s our personal mission to hype up women in motorsport, and hot DANG are y’all in for a treat today. 
Last month, Monster Energy and Defender sent us to the desert on an epic road trip with motocross champion and rally raid driver Sara Price. This is a no holds barred conversation about being the first female factory driver with Monster Energy Kawasaki, betting on yourself, the harsh realities of the desert, traveling with too many snacks, not accepting sponsorships just for the money, being in the family business, competing with the boys, how to build trust in a team sport, forgetting the word for “toiletries,” transitioning from 2 wheels to 4, not accepting sponsorships just for the money, and her duty to not only represent female drivers but also encourage the next generation. 
Sara is so much more than a driver. She’s a visionary, a community builder, and an all around badass. Hope you enjoy this live chat from Rip and Dip Ranch!

Ohhhh my gosh you’re all gonna LOVE THIS ONE. Madge Maril is back to chat about her Slipstream follow up, The Paddock Club, and just because it’s the first day of fall doesn’t mean it’s too late for a steamy summer read (it’s also still like 100 degrees everywhere sooooo).
Topics discussed include: Instagram face, loving and lamenting George Russell’s 2026 season, the pressure to follow up your debut novel, weird things that were researched, Natalie bitching that she can’t even eat a salad anymore, women being multifaceted (WUT??), sabotage, questioning drug tests, Alyson’s gardening woes, monoculture, and Madge’s curveball (#SPORTSREFERENCE) of a novel she’s already working on next.
This episode ends on a wild note due to a literal natural disaster and everyone is fine but wowzers. First time for everything!
Okay, enjoy!

After literal YEARS of begging, we have finally convinced Lauren Gaudion, VP of Marketing & Communications for the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team/BFF of the pod to come on here and hang out with us ~*~virtually~*~ and we’ll say it: totally worth the wait. 

Lauren talks about what she actually does at her job, if it’s worth it to chase your dream career in motorsport, building an identity that’s true to McLaren AND IndyCar, the infamous Speedway Slammer incident, the number of times their colors are referred to as orange vs papaya, on the job nightmares, managing expectations vs reality when you can’t really share all the details, Pato’s new pet raccoon, how to get grounded during a race weekend (LOL), what constitutes a crisis, the first time she met us, and of course listener questions!

You can find more from Lauren on LinkedIn and Instagram. Go follow her and tell her what a great job she's doing!!!!

Enjoy :)

Oooooh y’all are gonna love this episode so much! Jess Medland is here, and she talks us through carving out her unique path in a non-traditional way, being a woman in motorsport (what, like it’s hard?), what it’s like having millions of people watching your work, wanting to be special, the beautiful chaos behind Martin Brundle’s Grid Walk, her viral video calling Oscar Piastri’s crash at the Australian GP, having a job that gives you voices in your head, feeling like an alien, not knowing what the F you want to do with your life, and a special tip for torturing your partner LOL.
Other topics include Abu Dhabi 2021, the changing media landscape, knowing what audiences care about, our collective obsession with Fred Vasseur, how she champions women in motorsport, what it’s like being married to someone who also works in this space, if we’re seeing too much of the WAGs, and how having great instincts (and following them) is an integral part of her job.
She ditched a SkySports meeting for this, so y’all better listen up!
