Welcome to Going Off Track, a Formula 1 podcast! We're your hosts, Kathryn and Emily, a pair of F1 obsessed Americans who dove head-first into the sport during the 2021 season. Because of our background working in college athletics, we don't know how to relate to sports like normal people, hence, the podcast was born. Every week, we'll come to you with our thoughts on the raceday on-track results, react to the almost inevitable Ferrari strategy blunders, speculate on Silly Season contract news, and dream of one day being featured on Martin Brundle's grid walk.
Don't know where to start with F1? We've got you covered too, with our F101 series: bite-sized introductions to different aspects of the sport we love. F1 is for you if you only have the time to watch on Sundays, or if you're all in on all the coverage from February testing to the season finale in November.
