Senna versus Prost. Hamilton versus Rosberg. Schumacher versus...well, a lot of people. Rivalries have been at the heart of Formula 1 since its founding 76 years ago. But it's been roughly half a decade since the sport's last iconic rivalry, and now that F1 is facing a bizarre season of much-maligned rule changes and a schedule upended by global conflicts, a new series of questions are popping up: Would a good, old-fashioned rivalry go a long way to fixing this strange year of racing? And what does this sport lose when it doesn't have those stakes to lean on?

In this episode, Lily talks to livestreamer and podcaster Ashley Kalita, known to online audiences as AshVandelay, about what's at the heart of the sport's great rivalries — and why, try as Formula 1 and the media may, it's never going to be able to build that kind of narrative between Mercedes teammates George Russell and Kimi Antonelli.
