Formula 1 Gets Turbocharged in the United States

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 30, 2023

Formula 1 has found a new, young, and largely female audience in the United States, and this year, the US will host three Grands Prix--in Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas--more than any other country. We dive into F1's new fandom with journalist Maria Sherman, who wrote about the "The Fangirlification of Formula 1," as well as Lily Herman, author of the newsletter Engine Failure and co-host of the podcast Choosing Sides: F1. For an overseas perspective, we're also joined by Matt Gallagher and Tom Bellingham, co-hosts of the podcast and webshow, P1 with Matt and Tommy. Finally, we explore the history of the sport in more depth and get into the latest news and predictions for this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, with RACEWKND founder Magnus Greaves and Elizabeth Blackstock, Jalopnik senior editor, co-host of the podcast Donut Racing Show, and author of Racing with Rich Energy: How a Rogue Sponsor Took Formula One for a Ride.
