Inside Formula One Culture with Lily Herman of No Grip

Formula One is about more than lap times and podiums.

In this episode, Big Jim talks with Lily Herman, host of the F1 culture podcast No Grip and writer of the Engine Failure newsletter, about the personalities, rivalries and weird cultural corners that make Formula One such a fascinating sport.

They get into why F1 feels like a global shared experience, how driver personalities shape the sport beyond the track, why Daniel Ricciardo remains such a compelling figure, the tension between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, what Oscar Piastri’s future could look like, and why the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix Diamond episode is one to watch.

If you love Formula One for more than just the racing, this is a fun conversation about the soap opera, fandom and psychology that keep people talking between races.
