Meet your hosts

Monica
Writer & Gunther Steiner devotee and generally just the most earnest F1 fan you’ll meet. My F1 obsessions include driver mental training, pit strategy, and the driver’s personal brands (specifically Valtteri Bottas and his coffee / gin empire).

Bridgette
Investor & Mick Schumacher BELIEVER and likely the most curious F1 fan you’ll ever meet. My F1 obsessions include tyre compounds, track history, and driver / team stats + all things fashion on and off the grid…is it possible for Lewis Hamilton to have more swagger?!

We’ve been friends since college and neighbors in sunny east Austin, and since falling for F1, we’ve been on a never-ending quest to decode tyre strategies — can you undercut the overcut?— the economics of F1, how much the teams actually make each year… why is an energy drink and marketing company so invested in not one but two car racing teams? — and what it means to be a driver on the world stage with such a large platform and global influence — who is Sir Lewis Hamilton – the GOAT, a fashion icon, the most philanthropic athlete in the world, Iron Man?

We’ve also spent time trying to get to know what happens behind the scenes — with that large of an audience, F1 is in the crosshairs of some of today’s most universal and relevant conversations with drivers and teams tackling race and gender equality, geopolitics, international business and more. The sport is global, aspirational, and now in the hands of one of the most successful media companies in history.  These drivers, teams, and the league overall are in a unique position to have global influence and reach that extends well beyond their sport.

We’re here to share our obsession with you and tell the stories behind F1 - the way the sport is changing, the business and stakes at play, the stories of the drivers, principals, engineers beyond the racetrack and what that all means to the world sport. We’ll also of course cover the races, controversies and weekly conspiracies as they unfold each season.
