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
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.

Oz has finally wrapped up the Formula E season, and confesses to 'borrowing' something from Driver's World Champion Pascal Wehrlein. Lins has just been enjoying the sunshine, post British GP, TBH.
We dig into how two-wheel brands activate in motorsport vs 4-wheel - and why it's probably easier to do things with fewer wheels.
And we give props to Williams F1 for their incredible fan engagement events - including 199 people chasing Alex Albon around a London park, all in the name of protein.
Ryan Reynolds gets a shoutout too, because: Ryan Reynolds.

Oz (professionally trained make-up artist, don't you know?) eulogises on why she loves the latest trend for beauty brands jumping into motorsport partnerships. Lins doesn't necessarily agree. Sorry about that.
And who's the big daddy when it comes to the highest paid athletes in motorsport, according to Forbes at least? And yes, big daddy is the correct term as not one woman appears in the list. Ever. Since 1990. *sigh*

🤦🏼♀️ But wompwomp, this was the week that F1 decided to call their upcoming F1 movie... F1. What a time to be alive
😕 Lonely Lando speaks for us all but don't worry, we've got great mates around us too

Why do movie promoters use F1 for marketing? (probably because it works... 😉) Oz tells us about some of the movie promos she's worked on and Pastor Maldonado gets a name check. Lins recounts an awkward Hollywood encounter and showcases her appalling knowledge of 99% of movies that have ever been made
Oz and Lins lament how some of their best motorsport ideas have happened without them actually being involved and their favourite people of the week are revealed
Also we'd recommend you don't try to break into Lins's house in the night, cheers 🥂

What happens when the sh*t hits the fan in motorsport? Erm... lots. (Ask us how we know)
And why are so many motorsport brand partnerships boring these days? We demand more fun, despite the fact that most racing drivers are terrible comedians.
Plus: our favourite Finn. Whatta guy.
🇫🇮 Hej ja kiitos (that's goodbye and thanks in Finnish, OK? OK.)

What is working in motorsport really like? Aurélie and Lindsay (or - Oz and Lins, we're among friends here, right?) throw out some truths, advice and opinions on the topic they get asked about the most.
Oz shares her love of the Thursday F1 Driver Fashion Moment™ in the paddock, Lins shares her disdain for one driver's most recent fashion faux pas and we announce inaugural Favourite Person of the Week.
Also who wants to see the Kings of Leon for £65? Hint: us.
💋 Enchanté, mes amis. We'll be back every Wednesday from now on.
