The Rest is Motorsport
Hosted by Aurélie Donzelot & Lindsay Orridge · EN
The Rest is Motorsport opens the closed doors in Formula 1 and motorsport to talk about everything that happens off track. Hosted by Aurélie Donzelot and Lindsay Orridge, who have over 40 years experience between them working with drivers, race teams, the brands that sponsor them and the media outlets that break the news, they share their knowledge, opinions and insights about anything except the actual racing. From the best brand campaigns, to the lifestyle of the people who you don’t see on Drive To Survive, it’s time to lift the lid on this secretive gate-kept sport.

Let's Get Silverstoned
Jul 200:20:07Tap to summarizeIt's British Grand Prix week, the annual endurance event for anyone who works in F1. And this year, every team has decided to make things even busier by adding in dozens of fan events across the UK, which is bloody marvellous for fans, but slightly less marvellous for any team members hoping to get eight hours sleep in their own bed every night.Plus, Lins and Oz have watched F1 The Movie and... oh dang, we've run out of space to write our review.Notes🏎️ Everything happening on site at Silverstone🎨 Our artwork was kindly made for us by NOT Wieden + Kennedy📧 Send us your questions to therestismotorsport@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to explain why things happen (or don’t) in motorsport Hosted on Acast.

Jun 2500:31:55Tap to summarizeIn honour of an upcoming event for creators on July 1st 2025 with WTF Talent (formerly WTF1 Talent - guess they also got the cease and desist 😅), we figured this was worth a re-run episode. Disclaimer: the re-run is absolutely not because Lins and Oz are jet lagged/ hungover/ enjoying the sun/ tired/ uninspired*.*feel free to guess which adjectives apply to Lins and/ or Oz. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!— Original show notes — Ready for some motorsport hot takes? We got you.We’re diving into how rights holders can work better with creators who aren’t traditional broadcasters or official media partners - and how other sports get it right whilst motorsport doesn’t really get it, yet…Plus F1 Academy has bagged itself a new partner which is not something to be sniffed at these days - what will they bring to the series? (Spoiler: not the best liveries, soz)Links👩⚖️ Cease and desist, ye F1 creators🏀 NBA doing it right👯♀️ FQ x F1A🎨 Our artwork was kindly made for us by NOT Wieden + Kennedy📧 Send us your questions to therestismotorsport@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to explain why things happen (or don’t) in motorsport Hosted on Acast.
