James Hinchcliffe and Jamie Chadwick headline this week’s episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast previewing the season opener at St Petersburg.
After a long off-season, IndyCar is back and as a race winner at St Pete and one of the series TV commentators, 'Hinch' is the perfect person to help preview the race alongside podcast hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand.
He analyses the track, with special attention on Turns 3 and 14, and also talks about what winning at St Pete - his first IndyCar victory - meant for his career.
Hinchcliffe also picks out some of the storylines he’s most looking forward to covering this year in IndyCar.
Chadwick joins ahead of her second season in the Indy NXT feeder category with Andretti.
A member of the Williams Formula 1 team's driver academy, Chadwick also discusses the areas of focus for her over the off-season, her goals for this year and beyond, and the new karting programme she has launched to try to get young girls into karting.
Benyon also breaks down some of the recent driver moves including three drivers being announced in the week leading up to the event, a new contract for one of the series' stars, the latest on a court case for another and more.
