The Autoweek Podcast Ep. 50: 2019 Australian GP, WEC and IMSA at Sebring and Audi e-tron

On this episode of the Autoweek Podcast, host Rory Carroll joins Mike Pryson, Jimmy Pelizzari and Robin Warner to talk about the start of the Formula 1 season. The gang dives into a discussion about the dominance of Mercedes, the struggles of Renault and the flop of Ferrari. The team also champions the Red Bull switch to Honda power and talks about the regulation changes made ahead of the 2019 season.

Aside from F1, the guys dissect the World Endurance Championship and IMSA race at Sebring — tipping their hat to drivers who finished one race, only to hop in a different car to run again the following day. Pryson gives a recap of the NHRA’s “Unfinished Business” event. Wrapping the motorsport section, Al Pearce calls in to talk about Kyle Busch’s 200th win and where that falls in the history books.

Next, Jake Lingeman and Wesley Wren join Warner and Carroll to talk about the Audi e-tron all-electric SUV. The discussion leads to a philosophical debate about the evolution of electrification and the environment.
