In this round of Track Club, your favorite F1 commentators - Alex Jakes May and 'Lil Brundle Flemming - bring you the season finale review! Despite a fairly procedural final race in Abu Dhabi, high stakes guaranteed a gripping race, and the boys did not disappoint. In the end, McLaren's golden boy Lando Norris snuck away with his first World Champion title, something he'll remember forever and we'll remember in the form of this podcast.

Cherry blossoms and dry-ass flaming grass were the scenes at Suzuka this past weekend, as Yuki Tsunoda took his first proper drive as Red Bull's #2 man and Verstappen proceeded to make us all very nervous about that development. With the defending champion back on top (but still 1 point short of Norris three races in), what did we learn in Japan and what do we have to look forward to this spring? We laughed, we cried, we talked about racecars.

This week we're honored to be joined by special guest mal sounds. He's a Brooklyn-based musician worth getting to know, and we did just that over some pizza, light banter, and technical difficulties [resolved]. Get to know Amal with us, check out his music, and join us again next week as we prepare for the fast-approaching '23 F1 season!

~So so cozy by the fire,
Jake and Khalil chatting thru the wire.
Formula cars and religious stars...
O, the season's come so far!

SuperMax and Sweet Leclerc,
Checo, Seb, and Sir Lew over there.
All the grid ablanket with snow.
The lights are out, and away Santa go(es)~

And have a Happy New Year, see you in 2023!

The one where Jake and Khalil find something to talk about besides Formula 1. We ended up touching on the recent collapse of crypto exchange FTX - leading down a path of corruption, financial/gambling advice, and Cracker Barrel. If you're curious about how gaming during your next meeting could land you your next big deal (before you're arrested in the Caribbean for defrauding thousands of people), this could be the episode for you!

No Formula 1 season is complete without a thorough and enthusiastic recap from the Track Club team. There was so much to talk about this past season and we did our best to review a reasonable amount of it - from individual driver/team performances to the spectacle of this new generation's car, we're here to get into it. If you aren't able to learn something, we hope to at least give you a nice chuckle, or vice versa.

Buckle up, tighten your drinks tube connection...

This week, ahead of our season review, we bring you an episode with almost exclusively useful information! Jake kicked the Khalil out of the car on this one (jk, scheduling) in order to break some big Ferrari news and plant some spicy rumors while he's at it. If you come to this podcast seeking actual F1 news, this is the time to listen.

We'll be back next week with a good chunky full-length to cover the entire 2022 season - highs, lows, shocks, and gridwalks...

And with that, the 2022 Formula 1 season comes to an end - Max the champion driver, Red Bull the champion constructor, and you the champion friend of Track Club. This ep is a look at the finale in Abu Dhabi, which saw SuperMax take home his 15th grand prix of the season along with the overall #1, and Leclerc outpace Checo for #2 in the standings. Sebastian Vettel said goodbye to F1...as did Mick and Nic...but WE won't be going anywhere! Just like Danny Ric we can't get...

Interlagos brought many tasty narratives over the course of the weekend, and we can't wait to gobble them all up here on Track Club. New victors, old victims, sassy radio exchanges, with a pinch of pop culture and a dash of laughter. I wonder if they read the descriptions. Track times for the final grand prix of the season are below - join us next week and be sure to stick around for the offseason when we'll dive deeper into plenty of interesting threads and stories around...
