I'm Rebecca — long-time F1 fangirl, first-time podcaster, and proud member of the “I love this sport but have no idea what a diff is” club. I don’t speak telemetry, but I do speak team radio drama, bold predictions, and post-race chaos. Trackside Tea is my excuse to talk F1 the way most of us enjoy it: with passion, laughter, and a slightly chaotic group chat energy.

Are you here for the overtakes, the outfits, and the occasional meltdown in the paddock? Same. :-)
