It’s that time of year when - for some championships - multiple teams and drivers could win world titles, so Lins and Oz dig into how teams and brands prepare to celebrate wins, and why nobody wants to be the person in the team who has to order the 'WINNERS!' t-shirts and jinx it before the season is finished.

Then we dive into the world of relationships in the paddock. Oi oiiii! Alright, not those ones… But do we all get along behind the scenes, despite being competitors on track? Let's hope so, eh, otherwise it would be pretty miserable.

Notes

🏆 Vodafone's winner's tees - some poor sod had to ship these round the world to every race. Hope you're doing OK, wherever you are <3

💸 When Kimi almost bankrupted Lotus through winning too much

🍔 The day Bernie Ecclestone felt kind enough to feed hungry Lotus team members

🧑‍🚒 McLaren ended up on fire, so other teams took in their hospitality guests in Spain because #oneteamonedream

This week, Lins and Oz are chatting about fan community groups that have sprung up in motorsport of late - bravo to them, and long may they prosper.

Plus, where can you get your motorsport fix outside of the big international races? Why not have a look at a local Speedway race? Or maybe a Sunday Scramble in rural Oxfordshire? Or don't. You do you.

Notes

👯‍♀️ Check out the Girls Across The Grid community

💁‍♀️ And their excellent events

☕️ Get your coffee and cars fix at Caffeine and Machine, UK

🚗 Or go for a more British heritage motorsport day out in Bicester, Oxfordshire UK

Lieutenant Porridge and General Donzelot are here to invade for another episode - to see if we can all just stop comparing electric and combustion racing series, once and for all, please? Thanks.

Plus, we've reached peak sports BTS documentary and we're a bit over it. Except for the good ones, which we have handily recommended below. You are welcome.

Notes

🎥 Watch some of the best characters in WRC

😭 Also watch the pre-cursor to Lins' pandemic-failed Valentino Rossi doc

😬 See if you can spot the DTS crew being ignored by Max as he went sailing in St Tropez

📕 Buy Will's new book (and keep an eye out for Lins' book... at some point...)

Nope, that's not a joke title - but please don't sue us, Curtis Jackson... In the week that NASCAR announced that is was 'going international' AKA running a race in Mexico, we dig into why it's never really taken off outside of the US

Also how can you legitimately travel for 20+ weeks a year without going insane? Packing cubes, that's how. Our best motorsport work travel tips will save the day, probably, maybe.

And we have a four legged guest host today, because dogs are for life, OK?

Ready for some motorsport hot takes? We got you.

We’re diving into how rights holders can work better with creators who aren’t traditional broadcasters or official media partners - and how other sports get it right whilst motorsport doesn’t really get it, yet…

Plus F1 Academy has bagged itself a new partner which is not something to be sniffed at these days - what will they bring to the series? (Spoiler: not the best liveries, soz)

F1 Summer Shutdown is almost over but Lins and Oz are squeezing in every last ray of sun before all hell breaks loose again

Lins finally gets to share her hatred of 'themed merch' - basically anything with a palm tree/ flamingo/ cowboy hat on it - whilst she and Oz talk about the people that are doing it right (not looking at you, Max)

It's also time to talk about feeding an army in the paddock, and why all that glitters in F1 hospitality isn't gold, especially if eating dairy makes you vom and you've spent £5k on a ticket, awks

Some links for you lovely people

Nobody is emailing Oz or Lins all day and long may that continue (well, for another week at least)

You couldn't miss the unofficial Olympic mascot that is Snoop this past couple of weeks and motorsport needs its own version. Or maybe Jeff Goldblum? Let's have both.

And Oz and Lins throw together the brands they would love to bring into motorsport - if they had no limits on budgets, conflicts or old school advertising rules.

PSA: can everyone continue to limit their emails when they come back from Summer Break, please? Cheers.

It's finally F1 Summer Break and you can't wrestle Lins's swimsuit out of her cold, dead hands until September.

We talk pre-grid shows, why F1 could use a bit of Olympics Celine Dion magic (who couldn't?) and why consumer banking brands are flocking to F1, taking over from the investment banks of yore. It's more fun than it sounds, honest.
