Simona De Silvestro makes her first visit to The Marshall Pruett Podcast for a catch-up on life Down Under as an Australian Supercars driver, the challenges she’s faced in switching to tin-tops after a life spent in open-wheel cars, dealing with some of the negativity that has come her way on social media, her post-IndyCar efforts to land a seat in Formula 1, the W Series and her upcoming IMSA debut with an all-female line-up at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and reflections on her time in IndyCar as well as whether she’d entertain a return to the series in the future.
