The drivers came to our home!! The Canadian Grand Prix was a little wet and a little wild. Unsurprisingly, Max Verstappen took the top spot but, we were way more interested in what happened to the rest of the grid. Looking for memes and to stay connected?

At least the 2023 Spanish GP was less mid than the 2022 Spanish GP. We don't normally expect much excitement from this race, and while it wasn't an exhilarating race this year either, it was an exciting result for Mercedes in particular. Is this race signaling the start of a Mercedes resurgence on podiums this season? Only time will tell. Listen an…

The Monaco Grand Prix surprised us! Of course, it was a little boring but, the rain, and the bad luck of a few drivers, made the race exciting. Max Verstappen pulls off a masterful win and extends his lead ahead of his teammate, Sergio Perez, who struggled all weekend. Mercedes came with a new upgrade — side pods! And, Esteban surprised us all by l…

What celebrities did you see at the Miami GP? Caitlin and Shanika chat about how the Tarte drama relates to F1, the Miami Grand Prix, and possible next moves for Charles Leclerc (he can't be a Ferrari driver forever right?)

YYC - join us on Sunday @ Hudson's Downtown to watch the Miami GP in person! The 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was a bit of a snooze-fest, with very little action or drama to speak of. Max did Max stuff during qualifying, Yuki had some bad luck, and Sergio took home the win. The girls also spend a good portion of the episode being confused between the…

On this episode of Get Checkered, Shanika (@shanabeysinghe) and Caitlin (@caconne), breakdown the chaotic 2023 Australian GP. With 3 red flags, 8 DNFs, it won't be forgotten anytime soon. Join Shanika and Caitlin as they go over the chaos, throw some hot takes in, and line up some real winners and losers from the race. Looking for memes and to stay…

We are back together again!! Caitlin and Shanika chat about the original F1 girlie (Michelle Yeoh), Vanderpump Rules, and the Saudi Grand Prix.

Follow Get Checkered on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠, and ⁠Ti…

Season 3 (?!?) We can't even believe it! This week, Caitlin and Shanika catch up on everything over the last few months, dive into some predictions for the year and cover the Bahrain Grand Prix. You tell us, does this season feel predictable? Looking for memes and to stay connected? Follow Get Checkered on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.…

...and we get the most awkward group picture. Relive the Sao Paulo Grand Prix with this much-delayed episode (more to come in the next episode!) The first lap was a little intense with both K Mag and Danny Ric knocking each other out, we were so excited to see the Mercedes boys back on top again and to see Georgie take home a win. Looking for memes…

The race was a bit of a dud with a few highlights: Max Verstappen's record-setting 14th win of the season (beating Lewis Hamilton) and Fernando Alonso getting a little karmic payback. We also share what we learned by diving deeper into Checo's father's political party and our eventful Halloween celebrations. Looking for memes and to stay connected?…

(a wee bit late!!) We have a Constructors Champion!!! Red Bull continued to their dominance, Daniel Ricciardo struggled (and we were sad to watch him struggle), and there were a lot of celebrities....a lot. Listen to our wrap of the race now and let us know what you thought! Looking for memes and to stay connected? Follow Get Checkered on Instagram…

The Japanese Grand Prix was...interesting but, we were way more interested in the fallout from the Cost Cap (yes Toto said he would spend to the high heavens), Pierre confirming Alpine, and the rumors that his and Esteban Ocon's family can't attend the same race, and the now infamous tractor incident. Congrats to Max Verstappen, a well deserved win…

Weeeee'reee back! We took a mini break because of work, school, and our general health. This week, we chat about the Cost Cap controversy and try to piece together who actually went over the budget; the reason why Pierre and Esteban aren't friends (spoiler! it may be because of a woman); and we chat about the DNF-heavy Singapore Grand Prix. Looking…

Gotta admit when it really wasn't our race. Great drives by Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz but...with Red Bull and Max having a car that no one can challenge, the season feels like it is dragging on. Max will be the world champion and many teams and drivers will need to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to do better next year. Looking…

We love you so much that we recorded while on our holiday! The Dutch Grand Prix was a blend of chaos and disappointment. Max Verstappen had another predictable win but...Lewis Hamilton came oh so close to finally getting his first win of the season. We also chat about the brilliant Hannah Schmitz and the Alpha Tauri conspiracy theory. Looking for m…

WE ARE RACING AGAIN. We keep things light and easy this episode and chat about two headlines, Daniel Ricciardo is leaving McLaren, Audi is entering F1, and the season is all wrapped up. Max Verstappen has a healthy lead and with that Red Bull underneath him, nothing will stop him. Lewis Hamilton had another forgettable day at Spa while, Charles Lec…

Hello angels! Catch Caitlin and Shanika after a few drinks...lol. This episode was recorded in Vancouver and we weren't totally sure if we were going to publish it. But, here you go! We chat about Michael Masi, Daniel Ricciardo's McLaren Situation, and tell you a little bit about Benneton. Articles https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/89680/michael-ma…

This is a longggg episode—sorry y'all! Not sure where we could cut it down. In this episode, we review the week's headlines, including Toto Wolff being too powerful, Mattia believing that everything is a-okay in Ferrari land, and the US wanting more races. We then do a deep dive into Lewis Hamilton's Vanity Fair cover story and GQ's Ferrari Feature…

The last week in F1 has played out like an episode from an early 90s soap opera. We chat about everything from Fernando Alonso to the weird social media posts from Alpine and McLaren to Daniel Ricciardo potentially not having a seat next year. We love this sport especially when it gets extra silly like this. Looking for memes and to stay connected?…

We are back cuties!! Caitlin gives us the download from Vancouver pride while Shanika shares details from her mysterious neverending illness...oh and they talk about the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ferrari's continued fall from grace, and speculate about why Sebastian Vettel chose this year to retire.

We missed you last week! Our lives got a little wild and we couldn't coordinate an episode before the French GP. ANYWAYS Join Shanika and Caitlin as they go over the winners and losers from the French GP. Ferrari is a mess, Max Verstappen continues to lead the championship without a meaningful contender, and everyone else is a mess at mid-grid or b…

F1 Austrian GP 2022, wrapped. Join Caitlin and Courtney (as Shani is in Montreal for Start-up Fest this week!) as they go over the race, the winners and losers, and a deep-dive into the poor fan activity at the race.

HAPPY RACE DAY! The boys were back at Silverstone and so were the fans. Carlos Sainz finally got his first win in F1, Lewis Hamilton was on top form, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen struggled. Both Zhou Guanyu and Alex Albon walked away from a very scary accident - proving again how important the halo is. And, we FINALLY get to record in person. Ta…

It's kind of a weird week eh? Courtney gives us all the tea from her trip to the Montreal Grand Prix including the good (UM she met Carlos), the bad (hello rain!), and the ugly (why is food at the race so expensive??). Escape for a little bit before, we go back to fighting the good fight. WE BELIEVE IN CHOICE Donate to the National Network of Abort…

The drivers came to Montreal and gave us a show! Red Bull continued their weird blend of dominance (Max) and failure (engine issues for Checo), Lewis Hamilton finally got back on the podium and the Mercedes tractor FINALLY showed a little bit of pace, Charles LeClerc battled from the back and many teams were...unremarkable (here's looking at you Mc…

We should have predicted that Baku would. be unpredictable. From turn one the race was a little all over the place: Sergio Perez taking the lead, the Ferraris and Ferrari-powered teams losing all power, George Russell having a rather lonely race while Lewis Hamilton destroyed his back working his way up the grid, and the Alpha Tauri crew using duct…

Okay, so we gossip a lot in this episode. We chat about what Sergio Perez's new contract with Red Bull means for Pierre Gasly and Daniel Ricciardo, Sergio's cheating rumors, Gerard Pique's cheating scandal (lol), the elder Verstappen not being too happy, and the cost cap. It was a wild week in F1 news - what can we say! Head to our site to read Nic…

Okay, we have to stop calling races boring because Monaco was spicy. This race had everything: Ferrari's poor strategy, an unexpected winner, and actual overtaking (hello Pierre Gasly!) Congrats to Sergio Perez! A well-deserved win after the team orders in Barcelona. We are excited to see what Red Bull will do for the rest of the season...will they…

With overtakes, competitive driving, and unpredictable DNFs, Barcelona proved to be more exciting than we ever expected. Lewis Hamilton had one of his most memorable drives, George Russell proved that he would be world champion soon, Sergio Perez deserves to have a win, and Max Verstappen needs a new radio. This year is shaping up to be more intere…

From Red Bull to Ferrari to Aston Martin, Sebastian Vettel's career is truly one-of-a-kind. In this minisode, Shanika does a deep dive into his career and the drama along the way. It is F1 after all—of course, there is drama. References: Sebastian Vettel 5 Controversial Sebastian Vettel Moments Sebastian Vettel vs Lewis Hamilton Baku 2007 Driver St…

From the mermaids to the fake marina to the wild outfits—it really gave Miami. The race was 90% predictable and 10% a mess: Max Verstappen won, 4 drivers DNF-ed, Mercedes struggled etc. So, instead, we chat about our desire for Carlos to do better and for Courtney to finally get her passport. Also, does anyone know why KMag DNF? Watch our thoughts …

Shanika is solo today so the girls can focus on relaxing and working! Jeddah was a bit of a mess from the get-go.

Hello angels! We are back to cover the headlines of the week. F1 fans got a few more car reveals this week from Ferrari and Mercedes. We were excited to finally hear from Lewis but, the reveals are continuing to be a little lackluster (except for Aston Martin!) The bigger headline this week was Michael Masi being removed as race director (ohhhh boy…

Hello angels! This week we cover the usual headlines: Bahrain signing a contract until 2036, Caitlyn Jenner joining the W Series, and Lando's contract extension. The girls then dive into everything about the new car reveals for Red Bull, Aston Martin, & McLaren. Spoiler: the girls really aren't sure why RedBull even held an unveiling at all. Lookin…

And then we do a deep dive into Pierre's career and his friendship with Anthoine Huebert and Esteban Ocon. The big question: where does Pierre go next? Looking for memes and to sta…

In this episode, we talk about the headlines and go through Sergio Perez's interesting career. With Las Vegas being a potential race location, when will the FIA or the drivers say enough is enough? Will Lewis make a return? What the heck is Kimi up to? How did Sergio Perez make his way in Formula One? We answer all these questions and more! With th…

Hello friends! Shanika is back for the new year and the girls catch up, chat about the weekly headlines and then dive deep into George Russell's story.

Caitlin and Shanika talk through the weekly headlines including Mercedes withdrawing their intent to appeal, Toto Wolff partying very hard, Lewis Hamilton becoming a knight, Valtteri Bottas saying goodbye to Mercedes AMG, and Jean Todt handing over the reins to Mohammed…

Where do we begin? The last 9 months came to a nail-biting end with Lewis Hamilton falling second to Max Verstappen. We had hoped for a drama-less race but, there are at least 2 calls by the FIA that raised our eyebrows. One letting Lewis Hamilton cut a corner and the other, a strange restart after a Safety Car costing Lewis the championship. Thoug…
