James Hinchcliffe gets brutally honest about the psychology that separates race car drivers from normal humans—and why they lack the self-preservation gene most people are born with.
In this episode, Hinch reveals:
- Why drivers return to racing after near-death experiences (his own horrific accident included)
- The real reason racing legends like Zanardi and Wickens fought back into the cockpit after catastrophic injuries
- What it's like driving a modern Formula 1 Haas car at Mugello
- The one F1 rule he'd abolish immediately (and why the red flag tire change makes no sense)
- Why refueling needs to come back to F1 to fix boring one-stop strategies
- His journey from a 9-year-old karting in Canada to competing at the highest level
- Whether blue flags belong in IndyCar racing
Plus: Hinch weighs in on the tightest F1 championship battle in years and shares his broadcasting secrets for managing the insane IndyCar/F1 travel schedule.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
