Description

Welcome to episode 40 of the Lovecars on the Grid podcast! 
Our hosts, Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman bring us an exciting roundup of motorsport events from the past week!  
As always, we start with Formula 1, where it appears Red Bull Team Principal, Christian Horner seems to constantly being interviewed by Sky Sports F1! This week's F1 race in Singapore was an action packed one, with lots of crashes and really wet weather! Even from qualifying, the thunder storms caused wet weather, and Championship favourite, Max Verstappen received a grid penalty for running out of fuel. The main race was then delayed because of the severe weather.  After a number of safety cars and virtual safety cars, Sergio Perez brought his Red Bull car home to win, with Ferrari's Charles LeClerc in 2nd and his team mate, Carlos Sainz in 3rd. Verstappen wasn't able to clench the Championship in Singapore, finishing in 7th place.  
In the W Series, Jamie Chadwick missed out on a championship win after crashing out in Singapore. With rumours of W Series running out of money, will the championship continue?  
New Zealand saw the latest stint from the World Rally Championship. Finnish driver, Kalle Rovanperä became the youngest driver to ever win a World Rally Championship, at the age of just 22.   
The Moto GP riders were in Thailand in what could've been the wettest Moto GP ever, with bikes power sliding everywhere on the wet track. The win of round 17 went to Miguel Oliveira on his Red Bull KTM.  
Across in the USA, NASCAR was at the Talledega Speedway in Alabama. Chase Elliot took the win ahead of the next race at Charlotte to determine the final 8 drivers for the Championship.  
The British Superbikes are also in their play off stage. Tarran MacKenzie is still recovering from his broken leg so wasn't racing at Donington Park. Jason O'Halloran was racing well, with 2nd place in the sprint race, but was unfortunately involved in an accident and taken away in an ambulance. We hope for a speedy recovery. Tom Sykes was taken out by this crash, having won both the sprint race and the 2nd race. Whilst the 3rd race win went to Bradley Ray, who is on his way to a championship win.  
Next weekend, we have BTCC at Brands Hatch and F1 in Japan. Will Max Verstappen win the Championship this time? We have the NASCAR oval at Charlotte, with 4 drivers being cut. Looking forward to next weekend!
