  • Bravo to whoever decided to give Mark H. a feature show.

    So much great information from this subject matter expert and he has the time here to go a bit deeper into his observations.

    Bryn is doing a great job as host;I feel like MH has been surrounded the last few years by people who you’d be led to believe are being paid by the word.

  • Very good and revealing interview with Mr John Watson. I did not know that John was at dundrade in 55. The BP Motorsports archive has that tourist trophy on their website and it's a fascinating watch. So different from the sport as it is today just watch it and you'll see what I mean.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

F1's 2026 relaunch: rule changes & engine upgrades unlocked
Q: Could a potential solution to dangerous closing speeds be to standardize engine maps across manufacturers?
Standardizing engine maps is impractical because different engine layouts (turbo sizing, deployment strategies) create inequities; a graded deployment reduction is viewed as a more viable path.
F1's 2026 relaunch: rule changes & engine upgrades unlocked
Q: Are they likely to hold the FIA Formula One to ransom if they don't get what they want, or will the changes go through by majority?
The consensus is that the process will proceed by majority and will not be derailed by a few dissenters, allowing the changes to pass even if some teams are unhappy.
Newey and Aston Martin: the real story
Q: What is the current status of Adrian Newey at Aston Martin?
He is no longer the team principal and is likely moving back to a more technical, less overarching role, with the organization seeking a new principal to manage the broader leadership duties.
Why F1's found its happy place with the 2026 rules
Q: Do you think the proportion of internal combustion versus electrical power should change for 2027 to improve both racing quality and reliability?
The guest opines that shifting toward a higher internal combustion percentage could help, but acknowledges teams are cautious and any change would require careful consideration and data.
Why F1's found its happy place with the 2026 rules
Q: With four-wheel harvesting ruled out due to stability control fears, isn't the current neutralization of high-speed corners in favor of energy recharging somehow minimizing driver skill, especially in qualifying?
The guest suggests that energy management should be carefully matched to circuit layout; in qualifying, increasing internal combustion power may be necessary to restore authentic frictionless racing at the speeds needed for meaningful qualifying performance.
