Description

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Lovecars On The Grid podcast!  
Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman are back with another roundup of motorsport events from the past week. Our presenters join us from a Starbucks car park, following a day for filming for our upcoming TV show!   
Nonetheless, we have an action packed agenda for this week, with Formula 1 in Australia, Indycar, Formula E in Rome, Moto GP at the Circuit of Americas, plus a big fight in NASCAR!  
Firstly, we kick off with big news. Our very own Paul Woodman was racing in the Caterham Roadsport Champioship at Brands Hatch this weekend, and managed to come home with a 3rd place! Yes, our long awaited podium has finally come!   
Tiff was also racing at the Goodwood Members Meeting in a Ford Capri, rising through the places from 15th to 7th!  Formula 1 took place in Melbourne, Australia this weekend. Reigning Champion, Max Verstappen broke down in his Red Bull, handing the win to Ferrari driver Charles LeClerc. His team mate, Carlos Sainz also had trouble with his car. The other Red Bull driver, Sergio Perez managed to bring his car home in 2nd, whilst the Mercedes drivers of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton managed to take 3rd and 4th places.  
Indycar had a great weekend, with the IMSA World Sports Cars on the Sunday and the single seater on the Sunday. Cadillac took the 1st and 2nd places.   In Formula E, Jaguar had a great weekend in Rome, with a win for New Zealand driver, Mitch Evans.  
Moto GP had a second win for Italian rider, Enea Bastianini at the Circuit of Americas, with lots of top runners being either taken out by other riders or crashing out all together! Thankfully, there we no injuries. It was good to see Marc Marquez back following his high sider accident two races ago.   
On the Superbikes, Turkish rider, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu was fighting against British rider Jonathan Rea and Spanish rider, Alvaro Bautista for the win, which Bautista managed to take from the other two riders.  
NASCAR took place at the Martinsville Speedway, in Virginia, where the biggest event of the race was a fight between drivers Ty Gibbs and Sam Mayer, where drivers were fined $15,000 for the punchup. William Byron ended up winning the race in his Chevrolet.  
Next weekend, we have a quiet weekend, with NASCAR in Tennessee. Some GT4 racing at Oulton Park. British Superbikes also kick off at Silverstone.
