What does it really mean to be a Formula 1 fan in a sport that’s always evolving? In this exclusive bonus episode, Sabrina shares more from her in-depth conversation with Australian F1 journalist Mat Coch, featuring insightful moments that didn’t make the original release.
With his unique balance of deep tradition and open-minded curiosity, Mat reflects on how F1’s social impact, generational clashes, and questions of gatekeeping are shaping the fan community and the sport’s future. Together, they explore what’s gained (and lost) as waves of new fans join the journey—and why Mat, a self-professed traditionalist, still champions change and diversity around the paddock.
In this bonus edition:
- The balancing act between preserving F1’s heritage and embracing progress
- Why social trends and “old guard vs. newcomers” debates are shaping today’s paddock
- Mat’s take on gatekeeping and the true spirit of a welcoming F1 community
- Honest stories about how the sport’s impact reaches far beyond Sunday’s results, on and off the track
- Encouragement for fans of all backgrounds to seek—and celebrate—change, even as the sport honors its roots
If you’re fascinated by motorsport’s deeper questions, this episode delivers wisdom, challenge, and heart from one of the paddock’s best storytellers.
