About

I'm your host, Peyton Haahr. I'm currently a 21 year-old college student finishing up my degree in Los Angeles.

I've been in love with Formula One since I was 14, and have spent every year since then looking to grow my knowledge and involvement in the sport.

This podcast is an expression of this love, excitement, and passion. I wanted to create a safe space for everyone to learn about F1. I'm not an expert and I never will be, but I have sought to craft an area for anyone, absolutely anyone, to feel comfortable learning and growing with me. I've been on the receiving end of too much judgement from the sports community, that I felt I needed to make this podcast as inviting, welcoming, and kind as possible.

I want you to come learn along with me.

Most podcasts I found about F1 were just recapping the last race that happened or predicting results for the upcoming weekend. But it's so much more than that. There's so much more to unpack and understand if you're looking to become involved in it at a greater level.

I'll be discussing some technical topics - like tire compounds and race strategies - as well as more casual discussions. I'll be chatting with friends and family about racing movies and tv shows (like Drive to Survive on Netflix!), and about what it means to be a sports fan in the digital world.

I hope you'll join me, if only for a lap or two.

MY CLOTHING BRAND

please come say hello!

I do more than just host this little podcast, so check out what else I've got going on!

CUSTOM F1 ARTWORK

In May 2019, I started a sustainable clothing brand, where I print my own original artwork on vintage t-shirts. They're available for purchase at my WEBSITE, or if you're a Southern California local, visit Matti D Style in Del Mar.

See my Instagram below.

I've been creating artwork for as long as I can remember, and have recently spent a lot of time making F1-specific work. Most is of my favorite driver, Sebastian Vettel, but I am always open to new subjects. Commissions are always open, and I ship worldwide.
