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.

Episode 34: Gotta Love That Summer Break
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re back from our accidental summer break, and apparently Formula 1 decided to save ALL the drama for while we were gone.
This week, we’re catching up on three wild race weekends at Silverstone, Spa and Hungary as the 2026 season finally starts to tighten up. We get into Charles Leclerc finding his Ferrari again, Kimi Antonelli’s rollercoaster stretch, Max Verstappen ending up in the gravel, George Russell’s never-ending run of bad luck, and Lewis Hamilton collecting FIA penalties like Pokémon cards.
Plus: Are Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren developing true No. 1 drivers? Is the gap at the front finally closing? Can somebody please get George Russell an Etsy protection spell?
