  • The one you've all been waiting for - Oz has to discuss her naughty list, whilst Lins has to be nice. Turns out both are possible, but let's not push it - they will fully return to type next year when the podcast returns on February 6th 2025.


    Thanks to everyone for listening this year - catch you next season!

  • Lins and Oz finally made it to the end of the 2024 race season and frankly, they need a drink to celebrate. No more warm plastic glasses of wine behind the bins in the paddock until next year, thankfully.


    This is the first of two special episodes to wrap up the season - finding out what's on Oz's Nice List and what's on Lins's Naughty List from what can only be described as one of the longest years of their lives.

  • Can someone please give both Oz and Lins the strength to make it to the end of December? Cheers.


    The F1 season is FINALLY wrapping up and they talk about everything except F1 - mostly Formula E and MotoGP. Plenty of opportunities for some classic behind-the-scenes stories.

  • Oz made it home from Vegas, and Lins made it home from... Silverstone. It's been a voice-losing, busy weekend for both but for different reasons.


    Only three more episodes until Christmas! LFG!


    Notes

    😬 Is there a name missing off this new team? Awks


    👥 It only took four years, but they got there in the end

  • It's Vegas race week and frankly, it's chaos. Lins has bad memories of Vegas, whilst Oz is just grateful for melatonin.


    Just listen and it will all make sense (maybe). Cheers!

  • Oz just got back from pre-season testing with Formula E, after a very last minute venue change. And Lins dives into what happens when Taylor Swift comes to Indy - motorsport gatekeepers be damned.

  • Lins spent most of the past week trying to get WhatsApp back after a massive motorsport-related fail. Meanwhile Oz reminds us that some racing drivers are out there doing far more inspirational and productive things, like smashing world records.


    🧐 Limited time offer until December, drop Lins a note instead of a WhatsApp

  • It's a fair question. Sometimes we don't actually know how to answer it.


    But with Oz fresh off the plane from a busy week at the Austin GP and Lins headlong into multiple projects for brands in F1, they both share an insight into what actually takes up their time when they're working.


    It's not saving lives but it is fun, so don't hate us too much 😘

  • Sometimes, to be honest, when you work for a race team there are sponsorship deals that you really don’t want your team to make. Changing the coffee brand, for one. Oz has very strong opinions about coffee, so this is her time to shine.


    Also in this episode, Lins asks ‘What do fentanyl overdoses and motorsport have in common?’ A new brand thinks it might have more in common than you think. 


    Oz has many favourite people to thank this week whilst Lins has an apology for someone.

  • Lins and Oz are back from their gallivanting and finally, F1 have announced their deal with LVMH so Oz is about to go bankrupt


    This week, they’re chatting about the official LandoStand at next year’s British GP which sold out in under two hours and another F1 deal - this time with Oz’s favourite toy/ mindfulness thingamajig.

  • Coming to you from the past, because Lins and Oz are both on their travels, we've got all the chat for you. From a brand paying car drivers to pretend to be NASCAR drivers, and how clever livery designs make some brands pop. And some, just don't.


    Back next week for a more up-to-date episode, when Oz and Lins will be bronzed, relaxed and probably disappointed that they're no longer on holiday. Boooo.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
