  • Get Gerry a better mic

    I love The Race and listen to the main podcasts, and the topics in this tech show podcast are very interesting, but I just can’t listen to it because of Gerry’s awful mic. Please give him a better mic (and have him farther away from the mic)

  • Great show but..

    I love the show, the only thing that gets me is they post it to “the race f1 show” fees so you really don't need to subscribe.

  • In Need of New Expert Voices

    I applaud you for making this podcast, but please refresh it with some younger technical experts who have recent experience of F1 and can provide more detailed, accurate, and contemporary insights. More facts, fewer opinions. Such people are out there, but we never hear from them on this show. And how many times do we need to hear about how Jaguar was badly managed, or how things were done in EJ’s day? Irrelevant now.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Honda's F1 engine fix is so difficult
Q: What are the main potential sources of the vibration issue in the Aston Martin Honda package?
The guests discuss several possibilities including engine, gearbox, MGU-K, and mounting interactions, with the consensus that the exact root cause is complex and likely a combination of factors rather than a single source.
F1 control systems explained + How F1 is approaching solving its power unit problems
Q: What is Haas' approach to controls and systems, and how does Nick Bell describe its scope?
Bell explains that Haas' controls team handles performance mapping and driver-demand aspects like differential and engine torque, while the systems remit focuses on software programming, data handling, sensor calibration, and ensuring a reliable electrical build; the two areas together support balance and performance.
Gary's verdict on the 2022-2025 rules - and where F1's next regulations have gone wrong
Q: Can you discuss how the cars would have evolved differently if a standardized active suspension system had been permitted?
Gary believes active suspension would have led to more stable aerodynamic platforms, but would not have fundamentally changed the overall racing dynamic; teams would still optimize and compete based on expertise.
Gary's verdict on the 2022-2025 rules - and where F1's next regulations have gone wrong
Q: Why do you think they didn't do any of their usual mid-cycle rule changes?
Gary implies that teams' influence and the complexities of the regulations hindered the FIA's willingness to intervene with mid-cycle changes.
Gary's verdict on the 2022-2025 rules - and where F1's next regulations have gone wrong
Q: If given a similar brief, how would Gary design a rule set to promote wheel-to-wheel racing?
Gary suggests making the cars smaller, narrower, and lighter to promote better racing dynamics, arguing that the current regulations discourage close racing.
