Will Buxton

[upbeat music] Welcome to Speed with Harvick and Buxton, fueled by POET.

I'm Kaitlyn Vincie, filling in for Will Buxton, alongside my, uh, podcasting partner, Kevin Harvick.

Good to see you.

Yes.

Who knows what happens i- over the next eight weeks of the season?

That's right, so two votes there for Kyle Larson.

We may need to have a satellite vote pulled in for Will Buxton on who his driver of the-

We'll let the fans vote for him

I hope not, 'cause I think he's fantastic in any venue that he's in, but that's always in the back of my mind when it comes to James.

I love, I love the lineup that they have, they, that, uh, Fox has with, uh, uh, Will Buxton and Townsend Bell, and of course with James Hinchcliffe.

Uh, they are so good together.

They are a, they are a team.

In fact, I've got us a guest whose very name sounds like a racetrack.

Would you welcome my guest, Will Buxton.

Thank

you.

it.

Yeah.

Will Buxton's here! So, Will, you've got Up To Speed, which is your podcast, also available on Global Player, the official app for Radio X.

Now you've got no indie.

I just can't stop myself though, Jamie.

Um, Williams have got a special livery, and they've upset Will Buxton with it.

They have, and there's potential that they've upset, like, the most powerful country in the world with it as well, which is not exactly great.

What?

It is.

Uh, at least Logan Sargeant doesn't drive for them anymore, I'll, I'll say that.

[laughs] Um, but yeah, it's, it's probably gonna be fine, but, but Will Buxton wasn't happy.

And it's the sort of thing that if you can imagine, like, someone shows a picture of this to Donald Trump, you'll get the most random clip of him saying that he's gonna blow up Grove.

No, I'm so sad.

Yeah, no more unhinged craziness from Will Buxton.

No

more food chat.

And as I said before, it's nice to see them sort of switch into, like, switch mode pretty quickly.

It's good.

I just like it when Will Buxton says, hello, international people.

I'm like, that's me.

A lot of people were talking about it.

I was watching, you know, Speed Channel with Kevin Harvick and Will Buxton, and they were making comments about it.

So it obviously got a lot of national attention.

Yeah, and before we sign off here, Jacob, why don't you fill in everybody on what you've been up to and what you're up to the next month or so?

Kimi's got bloody good shots at it and the place will go nuts.

But if Ferrari win and Kimi's on the podium, the place will erupt.

It's Will.

It's Naomi.

It's David.

Maybe it gives them the inspiration to find that again.

I don't know.

Yeah, well, I see Lewis this week has been posting a lot about his F40 that he's recently taken ownership of, which was, I think, if I'm not wrong, and Will, you're better when it comes to the...

I wish I thought about that.

Wish I thought when Will Buxton was at Will Buxton.

When that news...

What, when

in the Red Bull at Zandvoort in that last-minute-ish call-up for Isaac Hadjar.

What did we see from Will Buxton the other day? If it had been a tough or not a great run for him in that Red Bull this time around, maybe that would have paid to his chances.

I reckon he's done enough to stay in that Racing Bulls card, don't you reckon, for 2027?

Yeah, I would suggest so.

Like, I went back and I watched the extended highlights of both this race and Markham.

Kind of indistinct events other than Will Buxton, uh...

Will, you've been very sweet to me.

Tone it down three notches, my man.
