Ep 2. The Motorsports War

Parker and Landon ask a crucial question: Is F1 at war with US motorsports? They also dive deep into the Formula E race at Monaco and its awesomeness. They discuss the potential for a US WRC event, and why Ryan Newman might be underestimating the task ahead of him in his debut with Rick Ware Racing. They explore why the next-gen car is creating great racing at 1.5-mile tracks and why team presidents and principals have the safest job in motorsports - looking at you, Otmar Szafnauer. Additionally, they investigate where the Andretti F1 bid stands and where the money is coming from. There's a lot more to dive into on episode 2 of the Money Lap podcast!
