Engines, EVs and Espresso: Ep 23 - McLaren - Toyota in 2026?

Abby Rakshit and Molly Oxner

On this week’s episode of Engines, EVs, and Espresso, we each share our go-to fall drinks (shocker: none of us choose a pumpkin spice latte!) before diving into a fascinating discussion around Toyota’s rumored discussions with McLaren’s F1 team and what Abby and Molly view to be an interesting strategy for unlikely alliances around power units in the world of racing and passenger cars alike. Molly then gives us the scoop on Alpine’s attempts to alleviate their organizational woes through a training with France’s National Military Policy (GIGN) as we discuss the team’s struggles throughout the 2023 season.

Grab a drink and as usual, Stay Curious and Stay Caffeinated!
