WHAT: Fans of Formula 1 are ready to let the world in on the sport's worst kept secret: The high-speed racing drama on the track is nothing compared to the multi-billion dollar lifestyle surrounding the superstar drivers and the cutthroat competition between their teams. Enter the new iHeartPodcast “No Grip,” a culture podcast hosted by “Engine Failure” creator Lily Herman that dives headfirst into Formula 1’s under-explored cultural pockets.

Each episode of “No Grip” tackles the wacky and dramatic mishaps, scandals and sagas surrounding the sport – from the ever-expanding world of F1 romance novels and the cataclysmic 2023 event Lily calls WAGageddon, to the infamous missing Monaco Grand Prix diamond and the astrology of the grid.

WHO: Lily Herman is the host of “No Grip” and the writer of the longtime Formula 1 culture newsletter Engine Failure. She previously co-hosted the iHeartPodcast “Choosing Sides: F1” in 2022, which was nominated for an Ambie Award and appeared on year-end best podcast lists for Vulture and Esquire. She has also co-hosted and produced the popular romance novel podcast “Friends to Lovers.”

In addition to her podcasting work, Lily is a writer and editor by trade with bylines in Teen Vogue, Glamour, Allure, Cosmopolitan, ELLE and more.

WHEN: The first episode of “No Grip” premieres Wednesday, March 4, 2026, with new episodes on race days. 

WHERE: “No Grip” is available on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
