😈Engines, Liveries, and Kardashian Energy

About this episode

The episode discusses the Mercedes engine loophole controversy, insights from the Barcelona shakedown, new F1 liveries, and unexpected news involving Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian.

In this episode we break down the growing controversy around the Mercedes engine loophole, what the Barcelona shakedown actually told us (and what it didn't), and which of the new F1 liveries are hits… and which ones should've stayed in the design lab. And then there's the bombshell nobody saw coming: Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian — because apparently F1 needed more chaos off track too. Technical drama, preseason hype, internet-breaking headlines, and a few strong opinions along the way. Just another normal week in Formula 1. 🎙️ Hit play, follow the show, and make sure you're following us on Instagram @Formula_America for clips, takes, and all things F1—done the American way.
