About this episode

One week closer to the start of the Formula 1 and IndyCar seasons but there’s still plenty happening…like IMSA and suddenly a new motorsport docuseries to look forward to? Shoutout Nascar for jumping on the DTS trend. There are some changes at Ferrari but one thing remains the same and that is Charles will literally never leave Ferrari, but he isn’t the only driver with a strong commitment to his team. Crush Tracker returns and we may or may not get side tracked coming up with our own F1 murder mystery but you’ll have to listen to find out what our ideal Knives Out cast is (not sponsored but should be)

PS - Make sure to send us your questions for David Malukas
