Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny, Swish and Cristina as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded Montreal Grand Prix. When attending the Canadian Grand Prix, it's wise to pack a rain jacket and umbrella, as the race has seen wet conditions for several years running. This year was no exception, with rain affecting practice, qualifying, and the race itself. While Red Bull didn't dominate as usual, teams like McLaren and Mercedes rose to the challenge. George Russell secured pole on Saturday, matching Max Verstappen's lap time. The race was chaotic, featuring Logan's DNF which triggered a safety car, a thrilling battle for victory between Max, George, and Lando, and the Haas drivers making bold moves on wet tires. Max Verstappen ultimately won, but it was a hard-fought victory. Teams like Alpine capitalized on the conditions to score points, and Daniel Ricciardo silenced critics with a strong P8 finish. As the home race for Track Limits, the Canadian Grand Prix delivered excitement and drama. A big thank you to our partners for granting us access to drivers, events, and the race itself.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Swish, Henny, Mikey, and Feven share their thoughts on the recently concluded Montreal Grand Prix.This is a full circle moment for us as we initially came up with the idea to start Track Limits during last year's Montreal Grand Prix. This past weekend, we were grateful to work with Red Bull, AlphaTuari, Aston Martin, Pennzoil, and Shell to get a closer look during the race weekend. It was great to see Red Bull secure their 100th win since they entered F1. Seeing Ferrari make the right strategy and show great pace gives us hope that they can bounce back and fight for podiums. Aston Martin and Mercedes were neck and neck throughout this weekend and gave us an entertaining few laps of overtakes. It may have been the most iconic podium finish F1 has seen and it was awesome to have it happen on our home race. Let's hope we get more of these finishes in the upcoming races. Maybe even a Mercedes or Aston Martin win coming soon???Make sure to subscribe, review and follow us on our socials:https://www.instagram.com/tracklimits/https://youtube.com/@tracklimitspodhttps://twitter.com/tracklimits_pod/https://www.tiktok.com/@tracklimitspodJoin our mailing list to learn more about Track Limits:https://www.tracklimitspod.com/

(0:55) Recent podcast guest and F1 driver Zhou Guanyu finally has some good luck, finishing eighth at the Montreal Grand Prix. (1:36) He's a fun follow on social media, sharing insider clips and not afraid to laugh at himself, (2:15) and the race itself was worth staying up into the small hours for — at least for Mark. (3:16) Haig attempts to steer the conversation back to his beloved Canada and their World Cup pursuits, (4:05) before the hosts discuss a new sports law in China that apparently is designed to protect the country's honor on the world stage.(7:03) Meanwhile, China and Taiwan have fired shots over an ID issue at the World Cup in Qatar: how to refer to Taiwanese fans — and will any of them actually be going? (8:36) The ATP's Shanghai Masters says it's going to be expanding from 2023, but the boys think this sounds premature — both from a COVID perspective as well as from a reputational and political angle. (11:19) Could tennis's China swing be expanded, too? Probably not. (12:18) Make sure to check out an exciting new feature — Tweet of the Week — featuring a former NFL player, China, some toilet humor — and a bridge. Send in your suggestions for next week!(14:30) Our guest this week is Hong Kong-based journalist Jonathan White, who's covered sports in the Greater China region for well over a decade. (14:50) What did he make of an SCMP op-ed this week on Hong Kong's recent sporting revival, and what lessons can the rest of China learn from what Hong Kong has achieved? (21:30) International headlines coming out of the city recently have tended to be fairly grim, but is sporting success improving morale in Hong Kong?(24:33) Hong Kong's football team just qualified for the Asian Cup for the first time in more than 50 years. How popular is the team in normal times? (26:51) And how soon will it be until fans can see another home game? (28:38) What about the hardcore support? How many fans will travel to support Hong Kong in the Asian Cup next summer — wherever it may be held?(31:15) As a journalist, what are the differences White's witnessed covering sports in both the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong? Hong Kong venues typically are more welcoming, it appears. (33:56) Mark compares the role of media outlets around the world: in China, it's essentially PR, so why would Chinese teams want pesky journalists asking actual questions? (37:51) A discussion about the role (or lack of) fan engagement, (42:06) before White ends with some of his favorite China stories, including challenging US sprinter Jon Drummond to a race while out drinking during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Podcast Published November 18, 2021 RACING GIRLS ROCK: Melinda Russell GUEST: Pauline Dougald Hello, everyone. This is Melinda Russell with Racing Girls Rock podcast, and I am excited to have as my guest today, Pauline Dougald, we met, of course, through social media as I've met 99% of the ladies that have been on my podcast, but I'm excited to have her here today. We did a story about her in one of our recent magazines, so I do know a little bit about her story, but I'm still going to let her tell us in her own words. So, Pauline, first, I'd like you to just share a little bit about yourself where you live, what you do, just some things so we can get to know who you are and then we'll go from there.   Yeah, sure. Melinda sounds great. And it's great to be on this podcast where I am right now. I'm in Canada. I'm in Canada, Ontario, and I have been living here for a while. I originally moved from Russia back in 98, and I have been in Canada ever since. Right now, I live in a rural area and have a dog and a bunch of cats. So the racing background goes back 2007, and how I got to that was like a story in its own, because I was at that time still learning to drive on the streets of Toronto. I was in a big city and it was so nerve wracking. And one day my work took us to a go car track as a corporate event. And that has changed everything for me. That is how my story begins. I discovered the way to learn how to drive, better to go carts. And then I discovered the racing track, which was used to be called Mossport here in Ontario. And I spent the whole summer there at the Bridgestone Racing Academy, and I was racing rain art at that time, and it was so much fun and it was experienced like no other. If you are part of racing, you would know that it is. Once you got bitten by that bug, it doesn't go away. And so for me, I completely just quit. My job, went to the track, and I spent the whole summer there racing, hanging out with guys and just wrenching on cars. They learn mechanics. And as a result of that, I was able to be part of the racing teams at some point. And after that, I remained within racing. I didn't race myself, but I was working with a premiere for a number of series after that. And then I took a break to raise a family. And I just recently kind of been coming back to the sport because I was missing it so much. It is something that is part of me, and I love it so much. And no matter how much time passes between the time, I'm always drawn back to that community.   So when you say you're going back to it, what is it that you're going to do now in the future.   Down the road here? Yes. So this past year, I was actually being able to go back to again supporting the drivers in our local racing series here. And that was great fun, because I love being within the community of the like-minded people. When you don't really need to be told what is going on, everybody knows what is happening the moment they show up at the track. And that is the thing I love the most. So this summer I have been a number of race tracks and materials supporting racing series, and in the future, it depends.   I will likely continue participating in that regard. And I'm discovering and exploring the ways in which I can still go back racing. That is still unclear for me, but somehow in the future, I tried to figure out a way to get back into that.   Yeah. Absolutely. Because once it's in your blood, it never leaves, does it?   Yeah. And I can share a little bit more of my discovery why it is such a way, because as I have been discovering the last couple of years, what we experience on the racetrack and race is actually being in the zone, and I can go into more deeply. But essentially, it's that state where you feel your best, you perform your best and everything is just so much better because of that. So that is why I am drawn to it. And that is why I see that other people who are in part of that world as well are also drawn to that because of that being in the zone aspect.   Absolutely. Now, Pauline, are there a lot of other women that are at the racetracks that are actually racing or are involved with racing in Canada?   Yes. In Canada, it's not very many. In my mechanics training program, there was one other woman beside me, and usually in past years they only have been just one woman for all the other guys who have been interested in that. And the same applies to the racing Sears as well. There is usually a couple of women who are racing at the track itself, but for the majority of part, it's rare occurrence, even though it seems to be growing slowly, very slowly. But for now, it's less popular among women than among guys.   And why do you think that is that they just haven't been exposed to it? They haven't tried it themselves. They're not encouraged, maybe to do it. What do you think?   There's multiple reasons for that that I perceive is the one is just not in general, because the way that the groups of people work, the guys would usually share that amongst themselves. And the father does usually bring their sons to the track. And it kind of passed on like that. And I've heard many stories of where guys are racing because their dads were so much into the car. And for women, there's not as much awareness that their sports it exists, and you can actually go there. And so it becomes rare when something happens and somehow a woman gets introduced to that environment. And I also think that even if they go, sometimes if the conditions are not right and they get too intimidated by the sport, they won't come back because one of the things that I believe is kind of biological propensity for self-preservation, a lot higher in women, and they need to over generalization. But I think in certain respect, women always take it a lot more cautiously on the track, and that's actually been mentioned by a number of people. There's a lot more caution, and they always afraid to get in the way because of that aspect. And so that works as slight as a deterrent for women to come back. And this is just a different approach. And it doesn't mean that women can be great. It's just the learning curve is a lot longer for women versus it is for guys. And so I think that is one of the two main reasons why there are less women in racing rather than the guys.   I agree with you. And sometimes it takes a woman who has maybe a little more stronger of a personality or stronger where they're not afraid of getting in the way or whatever to show other women that it's possible. And women by nature, I think, are more cautious about some of those kinds of things, especially if they're moms and they have kids or whatever. So I totally agree with you that that's probably a lot of why it takes longer here in the United States. The women are starting to get even with the men in a lot of ways. And so I'm a little surprised that it's not as much that way in Canada, but I don't honestly know a lot of women who race from Canada. I have a lot of Australian women that race, and, of course, a lot of the United States, but it's interesting that we need to get the word out or get the women to the track. So they understand that even if it's maybe a series just for women or it's a learning series or it's like a starter class to get women out there because you and I know once they get there and if they tried it and didn't feel like they were not as good or couldn't compete if they were in a class with other people that they were a little more even with, then I think it would really start to take off.   Yeah. And I actually have two minds about that. Personally, I've always stayed away from women only events, and I like participating in general events for me personally, I just like being in the normal scenario and just doing nothing, not trying to be something else or not trying to bring attention to the fact that I was a woman that was never really a plain effect in my mind. And the way I approach things, I've been going back to that thought many times in the past. And for me, racing itself didn't actually have anything to do with me being there. And what I mean by that is that I was at the track for connection with people, for that group environment, for that tribal kind of connection, being in a team with people up to like mine. So racing itself was great. It was great fun, but it was almost like a reason to be connected to others and stay within that atmosphere. And I think that is kind of the emphasis that needs to be put and those things have been changing. They have been changing on many levels, and women are getting a lot more confidence in entering those levels. But I think one of the things is the interruption that family has made in my life. When I had a child, I had to step back because simply I couldn't do it all. I couldn't spend every weekend with the track and be a mom at the same time. It was just a precedent. And I think that needs to be brought to the attention that there will be older women who maybe have older kids who can participate more fully because they have more time, or they will be younger women who have time before they start the family. And so that is kind of the point where we are involved in that regard.   Yeah, absolutely. And the other side of that is women don't necessarily even have to be the driver. There's so many other things they can do to help. And I know a lot of women who take their kids to the track, and they set them in the hauler with coloring books and whatever. And it's just a way of life. The whole family knows that on a certain night on Friday night, Saturday night that we're going to the track and you take your backpack with your coloring books and your whatever and the little boys with their cars or whatever.   And that's just what the family does. And so I think it's something that you learn to manage as a woman if you have little kids. And there's always people I think around that are always willing to jump in and help if somebody is really passionate and wants to be a part of the racing community. So what's your favorite thing about going to the race track?   Yes. That's a great question, because as I think about the tracks, the favorite thing is going there, and everybody knows exactly what's going to happen. It's that there is no need to break the ice even when the new person kind of shows up in their first season. Everybody from that gate knows the schedule. They know exactly what's going to happen. They have the schedule of the events, races, qualifying sessions and whatnot and everybody knows their role. There is so much clarity in that if you wear as a mechanic, there's your role. If you there as a pit crew member, that is novel. If you're there as a driver, it's just all so clear. And because of that connection between people happens a lot more effortlessly. And that is my most favorite part, because when we know the rules and when we have clarity of the roles, the communication flows much easier. People talk about things they love. People talk about how fun it is to be there. And at the end of the weekend, they recount the stories. And so that is community without needing to set up the community. The only other comparison I have to that of the paddock is the Burning Man events. I haven't been to one. But from what I have seen, it's the same kind of community where people come for fun and they know exactly what's going to happen and that unites them in such deep, profound ways that it makes almost like a second family.   Well, and I hear that over and over from men and women that the racing family sometimes is more of a family than their real family even. In good and bad times, the racing family might be very competitive on the track or as the races are happening. But if anything, when the good happens, we're all there to support and say Congratulations. When the bad happens, people are there to line up to say, what can I do to help? And so for me, it's all about the people that I've met. I love racing. I love to watch racing, but it's the people. For me, that is just my favorite part of the whole racing community. So I think that sounds like that's kind of where you're at as well.   Exactly.   So, Pauline, tell me a little bit about the tracks that you go to. I'm not as familiar with some of the Canadian tracks. So why don't you tell me a little bit about where you go and what kind of tracks are they? They dirt. They're asphalt. Is it motorcycle racing? Is it car racing? Tell me a little bit more about that.   Yeah. My most favorite track is Mooresport, which is now called Canadian Tire Motor Sport Park. And that is the road racing course. Pretty famous since 1916. And that is where my story starts. And it's kind of the home track. I love that. And ever since they have renovated that track, it is day and night, what it used to be and what it is now. It has so much potential. The races, the original races, sometimes the US, even there a couple of times we have Superbikes that have been racing. So there's just a lot happening. And there is a go kart track, I decided, and the Bridge Stone Racing Academy. So that is one of the tracks. Another great track we have here in Ontario is Calabogie and it is close to Ottawa. And that is another road racing tracks. So for me, the tracks that I have been to are the road racing, asphalt paved tracks that host touring cars, NASCAR, motorcycle racing, Superbikes, et cetera. And there's another track in close to Montreal. Well, Quebec has a number of tracks. There's a Montreal beautiful track. I haven't been there myself, but from what I heard and see, it's just amazing. There is an ICAR, which is the track built on the old airport. And that is fascinating because of flat. And that is a very different type of environment. And then another one is in Montreal, where the F1 Grand Prix has hosted a number of times. And beyond that, I haven't been to any other tracks. We have a few more that are warm, but I haven't been to that. So my specialty is the road racing courses.   Yeah, that sounds so fun. So tell me a little bit more. You went to the Bridgestone Academy. Then what exactly have you done when you've gone to the track? Have you raced? What have you raced? What have you done to help other teams? Just give me a little more detail about that.   Yes. So in 2007, I joined Bridgestone Racing Academy, and at that time they were still racing Reynard at 2000, which is the four two liter engine. And it was awesome. It was great fun. Cars were a little bit older, but there is still so much fun to race. So we were in the mechanics training program, so we learned to fix those cars. And then we raced those cars amongst ourselves in that program. So we had ten races in that summer, and it was the most fun because it was just within ourselves within our little team on the smaller training driver development track. And it was just amazing summer, amazing experience. And after that during that year, I also worked with a Formula BMW series at that time while they were still running. And I went with them to Montreal Grand Prix that summer as well as crewing on a number of teams for ALMS series in 2007 and 2008. So it was just assisting the teams with any mechanical type of work that needed to be done during the weekend. And that also was so much fun back then. And then I was part of that touring car series where I was doing engineering for the next four years. And that was the support for the drivers in that series to make sure that everybody was equal, that all the rules and regulations were being followed as well as providing support in the pit lane. So whatever support that was needed and that was the funniest experience, most fun because we got to travel number of tracks here around Ontario and Quebec. And another one of the tracks they didn't mention is the Three Rivers, which is the road course built within the city of Triveri here in Quebec, which is also great fun as well as Toronto Grand Prix, which is also a track set up within the city. And that went back to that kind of same scrutiny support for the drivers to make sure that. And I was working with a radical series this year, providing them support. Also, rules and regulations were followed. And that is the time when you do the check ins for the car weigh in at the end of the races, all the standard things that happen to make sure that everybody is equal.   So you've really done a wide variety of jobs in the racing. So what's your favorite thing to do if you could just pick one?   Besides the racing itself now the newest thing that I'm doing is coaching people on how to get in the zone. And that is my most favorite thing, because in racing, it's imperative that people race in the zone in that complete concentration state. And so I have been working with people on helping them because there is science of closed state that we know, which explains why we do certain things in order to get more focus and what prevents us getting into focus. And so that work has been so rewarding for me because not only do I get in a very focused state when I'm talking to another person, but I'm also helping them, and by extension, by somebody understanding why they or how they can be more focused and race, it makes them a safer driver. And meanwhile, even though safety is kind of promoted and it's very important factor, people don't generally go to racing because it's safe. They go to racing because they want to go into that complete concentration. It's important for everybody else. We want to do that. So it definitely works on many levels. I get excited when I talk about it because there's so much going on, and I know, and I can see how much is part of that aspect of getting in the zone and knowing how to improve it and knowing why certain things work and some things don't. And so that has been total explosion of ideas in my mind lately in the last two years. So when it comes to motor sports, that's my number one fun factor.   That's awesome. So what do you see yourself doing down the road? What's 2022 look like for you? What do you think you might be doing?   Yes. So for 2022, I'm working diligently towards exploring the potential of how much can I help people understand how much people do really want to understand about this being in the zone factor, because if you look at Red Bull athletes, for example, and the kind of things that they do, it is absolutely insane. But the reason they can do it is because of that in the zone factor. So I'm trying to understand where do I need to go in order to help people get better at it? So I'm growing that part at the same time, I'm considering to which extent I can continue participating in those races here in Ontario as a scrutineer. Also, another thing for me is that I'm an artist and I paint cars and I paint bikes. So I'm trying to get that more into my daily life or just implement more art, because as an artist, I have given up art for many years because I didn't have time, and it was just something that kind of got put away. And now I'm trying to bring it back because I see so much potential in creativity. And so for me, it's twofold. I'm trying to help people understand how creativity helps them become more wholesome person and also trying to add more creativity to myself. So I can think better, perform better and just have a greater life satisfaction overall, because if somebody knows that their creativity is what is the source of all their happiness in a sense. So it has to be maintained.   That's a well-rounded life, you can't just have one thing in your life. There has to be some other things as well. I don't know if you know this. But I'm a big scrapbooker, so I enjoyed scrapbooking for a long time. And I make journals and little cookbooks and all kinds of fun things. And that's my time where I don't have to really think I can just relax. I love paper. I have a paper Journal. I still keep appointments in my planner other than just always in my phone. I love paper. I love colored pens and all that stuff. It's just crazy. And I actually didn't do much crafting over the summer, but now I have my whole crafting area set up here, and I'm going to get back to getting some time where I can just have the TV on to a sporting event or HGTV, and I can just craft away and just relax and enjoy it. And so that's kind of how I spend my downtime other than my husband and I like to go to the swimming pool. We like to go out to eat, but you have to have more than just racing. I love racing. I love the people I've met. I love writing stories about women. I love interviewing women, but I can't do it 24/7 because it's a lot of work and it can be exhausting. So being well rounded is very important.   Yeah. And it also brings into the point that people's hobbies are their essence. It's what brings them joy. So my biggest message right now is that people need to get their hobbies and start doing them more because it improves all areas. Hobbies is where our creativity lies. It might be anything doesn't matter what it is. Whatever you call a hobby needs to be brought back into life in order to start having better ideas. And totally I understand you're scrapbooking thing because it's with working with hands. So it's like some people say, Well, I don't have a hobby. I don't believe that… if you have hands, you have a hobby.   And there's so many things nowadays more than ever that you can do to pass the time and share and enjoy what you're doing and share with other people. So I think people who say that probably haven't really thought about it very much. And the first question I would say, well, what are you passionate about? And if they say going to the movies or whatever, maybe that's your hobby and seeing all the new movies, it could be whatever. But anyway, that's fun.   What do you think? I typically ask this question, what is your legacy going to be when you're kind of at the end of the road where you're not able to work on cars or work at their track? What do you want your legacy to be?   Yeah. That's a great question. And I want to make sure that the message that I have about creativity, about hobbies, about expressing ourselves fully lives on in a sense that people realize that they have potential within them to create, not just consume things, but to create as well. And that creation aspect works in all other areas, and it affects them in all other areas. The reason I think one of the reasons why people have troubles with daily life, they might have mental health issues to some extent, maybe minor, maybe whatever. But it's because they're not connected to that which is creative. I think creativity is so important. And as I learned it by myself for myself, when I put it away and I stopped being creative, everything became so much worse. And the moment I got my paints out, the moment I started thinking back again and start considering, how can I integrate art back into my life when it's so busy, when it's so full of other things? It's imperative that we bring those joyous moments back into our lives.   And that is what I want my legacy to be is for people to have a better understanding why they should even bother trying to bring their creativity out and how to do it the most easiest way possible, not like they have to do it, but how do they get themselves to feel that they get to do that? And that is the biggest fun factor in life. Otherwise the life ceases to have meaning. So for me, as an artist and somebody who loves cars and who have other things. For me, the meaning of life is to experience that those joyous moments which completely absorb us, where we lose track of time. When we stop thinking about the worries of the day, how can the person experience them the most? And most often because out of that, everything else will re-vibrate. It will be like ripples on a pond from that one experience, all other areas of life improve and all connections also improve because of that. So if each person already focusing on the individual hobbies their individual passion, then collectively, I think we would be in much better place.   And I feel like too, when you take the time to do something that you enjoy for no other reason than the enjoyment of it, you just get kind of a renewed sense of energy, and then you're ready to go back to doing whatever it is that maybe you do for a living or your job per se after you've had that break and you kind of can clear your mind. And sometimes when I'm scrapbooking, I'm thinking about, oh, I should call so-and-so, and interview them, or I should do this. Or maybe I should do a podcast on that. And because I'm relaxed and I'm not focused on it, it just the ideas come. And I think that's a blessing to be able to just relax and have your little pen and paper right here where I can write down my ideas when I'm not expecting to have any ideas.   Exactly. And there's actually neurobiological reasons why things like that happen. So if people were to start having more fun with their hobbies, they would actually be better at their job.   One thing I want you to tell us is how can people follow you if they want to talk to you, more about what we're doing here? What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?   Absolutely. My favorite platform is Instagram. I'm there my first and last name. I also have a website, which is also my first name and last name Pauligedougald.com. And those are my main ways of how I put the art out and how I communicate with the world through my creativity. And so it's very easy to find me. I am on Facebook, but I'm a little less prominent there now, as I have switched all my efforts to Instagram because I just like the feel of that platform. It's a bit more aligned with my artistic perception.   So find her on Instagram and check out what she's up to. Pauline, is there anything that I haven't asked you about or that we haven't talked about that you'd like to share?   I would say we talked about the major aspects of my life that are most prominent. Most important for me, the racing, the art, the coaching within the parameters of being in the zone. That's my biggest passion. And other than that, it's almost like the three drivers that are prominent within my life that in addition to family and all other types of living, is what continues my progression forward. So, yeah, that's mostly what is right now and who knows what happens next in the future. But for now, that is.   Well, it's been a pleasure. And like I said, I wrote your story for the magazine, but it's not the same as talking face to face with someone and getting to know them. And I've really enjoyed talking to you. And I bet you hear this a lot, but I do love your accent. I could listen to you talk. You probably hear that quite often. But thank you for being my guest today. I really appreciate that you took the time to do it to be on the recording and any last words that you would like to share.   It was great fun. I love speaking to people about racing and about the passion. And the only thing that I want to emphasize the most is everybody get your hobbies out, start doing the things that you did as a child and forgot about it because that's where your satisfaction was, but that's it.   That's absolutely true. So thank you, Pauline, for being on the show and here's to a good 2022 for all of us. Hopefully everything will open back up and we can all go to the track and be part of racing like we used to be.   Exactly. All right. Well, thank you.

We’re still working on the hum in the background, and we’re hoping to have the problem sorted soon… This week Patricia doesn’t cut the show short so we actually got to talk about more than how upset we were about F1 FanFest Chicago… As much as we like Sky’s Karun Chandok, the stewards from the Montreal Grand Prix tell Ferrari that Karun’s analysis of Sebastian’s penalty in Montreal doesn’t count as “overwhelming evidence". But that wasn’t all the penalty talk this week with a pretty questionable penalty handed down to Racing Point’s Sergio Perez, and a much less questionable pair of penalties handed to Daniel Ricciardo. Our solution to the problems of last weekend’s race - stop going to Circuit Paul Ricard… Silly season talk is already underway, and at least one driver should be looking over their shoulder.. Romain Grosjean has had enough with the failings of this year’s Haas car. And Fernando Alonso is no longer a McLaren test driver…

This week I had the opportunity to interview MuchMusic Hall of Famer Rob Quartly. We talked about how a weekend at the Montreal Grand Prix led to a career in film making. Rob also discusses how he found himself at the birth of music videos and the impact this had on his path. Rob’s current project is Grief Stories (www.griefstories.org). “Helping grief make sense one story at a time.” Episode 21: Rob Quartly

You know what's embarrassing? Representing your company who is the title sponsor for a race by driving the pace car to start the race - and crashing the pace car coming out of Turn 1 and delaying the race start by 27 minutes...Is Force India about to be sold - depends on who you talk to...Electric Karting is becoming an Olympic sport - a Junior Olympic sport.FOM is looking at significant changes for 2021, from calendar, to aerodynamics, to maybe even tires?In the mean time it looks like the 2019 season will end in December.Two big changes coming to the Montreal Grand Prix this year - a third DRS zone and more significantly a change to the DRS rules from this race forward.Toro Rosso is actively looking to replace Brendan Hartley.Daniel Riccardo appears to have avoided a grid penalty in Montreal.Max Verstappen snaps at reporters.McLaren is struggling in Montreal because it has to go fast and slow.Mercedes is regretting its tire choices for the weekend.It's shaping up to be a bad weekend for Haas.
