Well, that was a wild one alright. Christian Lundgaard, after a good year of teasing a big day on a road or street track, dominates the entire Toronto weekend enroute to his first IndyCar win!

And somehow he only had the second most incredible drive of the day. Because despite Alex Palou’s winning streak coming to and end, he finished 2nd despite having a broken nosecone that led to his front wing dragging against the ground for half the race. HE FINISHED SECOND. HOW?!

We also have a deep dive about the Road to Indy and it’s place in the series as it becomes more and more clear they’re in direct competition with the European ladder with recent success stories like Callum Illot, Lundgaard himself, Alex Palou coming from Europe and Super Formula and Marcus Armstrong too. Can the 2023 Indy NXT crowd compete with what Europe’s offering?

NOTE: This was recorded before the news of the Nyck De Vries, Daniel Ricciardo deal. More on that next week!

But this was a weird British GP. The weather largely behaved itself. Instead of being a typical tyre shredder, it ended up a one-stopper with as little an amount of tyre reg, or delta that we’ve seen all year. And while Max Verstappen continued to make history with his 6th straight win and the 11th in a row for Red Bull…. a new challenger approached!

McLaren had a brilliant 2nd and 4th, with Norris’ strongest drive in an F1 car to date, and Oscar Piastri pretty much matching him stride for stride, only missing out on a podium due to the late Safety Car. A marvellous performance from the Woking team and yet another conundrum for who’s got the 2nd best car in F1. Does anyone know?

We also talk Cara Delevingne knocking back Martin Brundle’s interview request at the British GP. Dre and Cam break down why so many fans don’t seem to understand the basic concept of “No means no.”, and what’s led to such fan entitlement over the issue.

And is it time for another chat about Perez? We think it is after five straight weekends without making Q3, and Red Bull having the vote of confidence chat with the press about his future. More on that on a hepaed Motorsport101!

Well… this was a wild one.

Formula E had a scandal on its hands before the Portland ePrix had even started, with DS Penske given a 25,000 euro fine and a double pitlane start after the stewards got the word that the team had been placing RFID Scanners like you get at a Supermarket, in the pitlane to scan the barcodes on their competitors tyres. And when JEV was called out on the cheating, the man kinda doubled down on the severe dose of cheating. Inevitably, Dre, Cam and RJ weigh in on the drama, joke about it immensely, but seriously wonder how the heck they weren’t thrown out of the weekend!

And of course, the race itself, which was equally carnage filled, as Nick Cassidy won from 14th on the grid in a race that more resembled a cycling Sprint stage than Formula E. Over 400 overtakes across the race (Yes, basically two Berlins), but not a lot of it actually mattering until a late brakeaway from Cassidy resulting in the win after the second Safety Car.

Was it fun? Sure? Was it chaotic? Definitely. Should it be what the series is about? A healthy debate emerged out of this one that is a fun listen!

All of that and more on another Motorsport101!
