Lovecars On the Grid. Global Motorsport Podcast
Welcome to episode 5 of the Lovecars On The Grid Podcast! Our second season is back, with Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman giving you a roundup of the motorsport events from the past week!
We kick off with the Formula 1 and the FIA! The issue that happened at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is still ongoing! Why is this report taking so long to come out? How long will this continue? Still, there are no comments from Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen on the subject.
Elsewhere in the FIA, they've crowned the first Winners of the WRC Talent Search, crowning Romet Jurgenson winning a season drive in an M-Sport Rally3 Ford Fiesta. We love to see these academies bringing through the young drivers with talent! Looking at the teams, Red Bull look to be continuing their relationship with engine manufacturer, Honda. The FIA are making Covid-19 jabs mandatory in Formula 1.
The Formula E started their 2021/2022 Championship in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The Win went to Mercedes with their driver, Nyck de Vries.
The Daytona 24H took place this weekend too, with lots of cars in different classes to watch, including 30 British drivers on the grid! Helio Castroneves, Tom Blomqvist, Oliver Jarvis and Simon Pagenaud shared the win for Meyer Shank Racing, which was an emotional win, as it's the first win for 10 years! There was also an epic Porsche battle!
Coming up next week, we still have the younger drivers out in the FormulaE UAE and Formula Region Asia series'. We also have NASCAR kicking off, along with the Autosport Awards, too!
If you've got any questions you'd like to ask Tiff for next week, make sure you ask them in the comments!
