Change the Culture
We want to talk about the racing, but instead we have to break down the shitshow of the fan behavior at the Austrian GP. Everyone has condemned what happened, but where is the urgency, where is the real allyship, where is the meaningful action?
We get into the weeds of what’s wrong with the narratives around what happened so listen up and please share the episode with others who need to hear it.
But don’t worry, the race does get a mention and Anna also makes a shocking confession about Fernando Alonso!
