  • Who'll win F1's three-team constructors' championship battle?

    Who'll win F1's three-team constructors' championship battle?
    Nov 20 2024
    The battle for the 2024 drivers' world crown may be all but over, but on the constructors' front the battle is still raging, with the final three races set to decide whether McLaren, Ferrari or Red Bull take top honours (and the considerable prize money that goes with it). On this episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson cast an eye over each team, assessing the job they've done over the course of the season and assessing which of the remaining tracks will suit which car. There's also an in-depth discussion about Aston Martin, following the news that Dan Fallows will be leaving his role of technical director, just as Adrian Newey prepares to join. Gary explains his theory as to why Aston have struggled this season, and with car development in seasons before, and offers his thoughts about the direction the team should adopt going forwards. And finally, Edd and Gary dive into another batch of questions from listeners, several of which focus on changes to Formula 1's technical regulations... Got a tech question?

  • F1’s latest cheating suspicions, red flag tyre changes and Aston’s struggles

    F1’s latest cheating suspicions, red flag tyre changes and Aston’s struggles
    Nov 6 2024
    On this episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson cover a raft of topics that came up over the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, including wet weather set-ups, red flag tyre changes (and whether they should be allowed), and Aston Martin's miserable performance level - especially compared to its similarly powered and funded rival McLaren. They also dive into the latest technical tit-for-tat between Red Bull and McLaren, with the emergence of a new theory of alleged tyre trickery. But what exactly is Red Bull alleging, how would a team go about doing it, and - in the absence of any proof - is it realistic to think any team would seriously contemplate it? And as ever, before closing out the episode, Gary answers a handful of questions sent in by listeners. This time they're on wet weather ride height, a new F1 engine formula, low-tech F1 components, and the current state of F1 simulation tools. Got a tech question?

  • Red Bull's bib adjuster - what is it and why are rivals upset?

    Red Bull's bib adjuster - what is it and why are rivals upset?
    Oct 22 2024
    The main topic for this episode of The F1 Tech Show was an obvious choice, after Red Bull admitted in Austin that it has a device that can adjust the height of the ‘bib’ at the front of the floor but denying that it was ever – or could ever have been – used to make changes during parc ferme. Edd Straw is joined by former F1 technical director Gary Anderson to explain why bib height is so important, how the adjuster tool works, and why Red Bull's rivals are annoyed. Also on the show, Gary gives his opinion on Mercedes' US Grand Prix struggles, after its latest upgrade failed to deliver consistent results, plus he answers another handful of questions from listeners, including one sent in by a NASA systems engineer!
