Who is joining Cadillac F1 in 2026?!... Coldplay lands CEO in hot water and more

This week on AutoTalksUS, Porsche is back in the spotlight as the 992.2 Cup car begins testing, hinting at serious upgrades for grassroots motorsport. What’s changed, what’s coming, and how this shapes the next chapter in Carrera Cup racing — we’ve got the details.

We also dive into Cadillac’s still-open 2026 driver lineup, and Igor throws out his dream duo: Valtteri Bottas and a rising star from the Andretti IndyCar camp. Could this be the perfect blend of experience, fan connection, and American grit?

Meanwhile, the world is buzzing as Coldplay’s show exposes Astronomer CEO -  resigns amid a cheating scandal — a brutal reminder that in any arena, reputation is everything. We talk personal ethics, the fallout, and the crossover lessons for car culture and motorsport PR alike.

Also in this episode:

• A real talk breakdown of what IAP Consulting Solutions does — whether you’re buying your first fun car or selling your dream build
• A closing plug for Happy FurEver, the dog rescue farm that’s saving lives and building community
