  • Great Especially Because Hughes’ Lack of British Bias

    It’s great to have a British podcast which isn’t obsessed with hyping Hamilton and British drivers. More importantly, it regularly gets legendary guests who speak very openly and say things they’d never say if they were being interviewed during an F1 weekend.

  • 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.

Can V8 engines save F1? Why they really are set for a comeback
Q: What do you think about the Miami track and its impact on this season's narrative?
They discuss how the circuit's layout and weather created unique conditions that spotlight driver skill and strategy, emphasizing that upgrades have made the field more competitive rather than a single-car dominant season.
F1 is being ruined: it's right to speak out
Q: Is there an acknowledged level of interest among teams and the governing body to return to internal combustion engines only?
The guests suggest it's not out of the question in the long term, especially with sustainable fuels, but the current path shows a blended electric+internal combustion approach being preferred for energy efficiency and performance balance.
Why Fernando Alonso still has what it takes to be F1 champion
Q: Is Fernando Alonso the 'cork' in the bottle that could determine where drivers end up for 2027?
His longevity and continued desire suggest he'll stay with a team like Aston Martin while the squad upgrades, but his presence could influence contract decisions and driver movement depending on the car's trajectory.
Why Fernando Alonso still has what it takes to be F1 champion
Q: When will the driver be completely in control of engine power given ongoing upgrades?
The consensus is that drivers will gain more control with each upgrade, but not fully until a deeper shift toward internal-combustion engine-heavy energy management occurs; in Miami, teams are closer to optimal control but still rely on software algorithms for efficiency.
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.
