Chicane Chronicles: A F1 Podcast
F1 Podcast for new fans, old fans, and folks who love some genuine conversation! Hosts Nikki Gamat (wildly obsessed, off-the-rails-deep-diver Formula 1 fan) and Ryan Esteban (Not on the same level as Nikki, but still a fan) talk all things Formula 1.
Chicane Chronicles: A F1 Podcast is not officially endorsed or associated with Formula 1. We just love the sport and love chatting about everything Formula 1, from the greatness of Lewis Hamilton, to whether or not Nicole's love of Daniel Ricciardo will ever be enough to get him a seat somewhere on a team.
