Vroom Vroom

Addy, Britt, and Jesse find that Sunday's events were written in the stars, as late developments saw Oscar Piastri pass Lance Stroll for his maiden win in F1, Brad Keselowski surrendering the lead in NASCAR overtime, and even Fernando Alonso ceding a position to Lance Stroll, all on the day when a much bigger transition from second-in-line to top-of-the-charts took place with Joe Biden announcing his departure from the presidential race and endorsement of Kamala Harris. We're also looking forward to the Olympics as F1 has just one more race left before summer break, and NASCAR gets out of the way of NBC's Paris coverage.

Addy, Jesse, and Katie arrive at the end of F1’s tripleheader with more joy than we could’ve expected amid Ferrari’s continued struggles. We’re mostly thrilled for Lewis Hamilton’s record ninth win at a single track, but also for a truly exciting race weekend at the British Grand Prix. We’re also excited for the Lando Norris-Max Verstappen battle simmering, the new depths being explored weekly by Sergio Perez, and the funniest places Lance Stroll could win a race. We also saw the trailer for Brad Pitt’s F1 movie, VROOM VROOM MONEYBALL, and know how we’ll find out if the Expensify APX-GP social media account is real.

Katie is back from Spain, where she got some unexpected help to fight the sun's rays and also saw Max Verstappen's final win before his current slump (finished fifth in one race, still 17 seconds ahead of his teammate despite a crash and penalty), and brings all the details to share with Addy, Britt, and Jesse. Thanks to Verstappen wrecking himself and Lando Norris, we've got a fifth F1 race winner of the season in potential future England soccer manager (or maybe USMNT manager???) George Russell. The Baguettes are still fighting, even though the French Civil War is over, and Ferrari remains adrift for another week. Plus, NASCAR sponsorship news has us Hootin' and maybe even hollerin' as much as during a five-overtime race after a rain delay, and everyone's faves giving way one by one before Joey Logano clinched his playoff spot. And for the record, the Mets scored six runs in the 10th inning of their game in Washington after we finished recording... then gave up four, but four is less than six so they still won. LET'S GO METS BABY!!!

Addy, Britt, and Jesse find out who the headliner was when Max Verstappen raced in a one-season Florida circuit in 2014, proving that sports works in mysterious and comical ways. Nothing is more mysterious and comical than a baseball team being inspired to join the playoff hunt by a fast food character, and of course it's the Gay Grimace Mets who are running rampant and setting a new vibe. Aston Martin could certainly use a vibe shift -- perhaps a first Fernando Alonso win since before Max Verstappen was in the Florida Winter Series? Spiritually closer to Florida, but actually in Iowa, NASCAR shifted to NBC for the second half of the season and we always appreciate a good broadcast -- especially in baseball, where Mets and Giants voices were perfectly equipped to deal with the death of Willie Mays. It's quite a lot of baseball for a racing podcast, but don't worry, football season starts soon enough (and we're saving all the Iowa jokes from Sunday's race until Katie gets back).
