The Race F1 Tech Show

Porpoising and bouncing have been the buzzwords of the 2022 F1 season, with the matter reaching a head after several drivers complained of experiencing unpleasant physical symptoms in Baku. That led to the FIA introducing a new technical directive on the matter ahead of the Canadian GP - but just what does it all mean, are the measures fair, and will they actually solve the problems several teams have experienced this season? These are some of the questions that host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson look to answer on this week's show.After a weekend of mixed weather in Montreal, Anderson also dives into the topic of how teams set-up their cars for wet weather, and why some cars are much better in soggy conditions than others.He also answers a listener question on whether making changes to Pirelli’s 2022 tyres - rather than expensive car changes - could be the answer to the porpoising issues seen so far this season.The Race F1 Tech Show, brought to you by Aramco.

This week’s episode is all about those disembodied voices we hear over team radio: the race engineers. What do they do? How important is their relationship with a driver? And what can they do to get the most out of a car AND a driver? To help answer those questions host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson are delighted to welcome Julien Simon-Chautemps, Kimi Raikkonen’s former race engineer at Alfa Romeo, onto the show for a feature length discussion.Before that Anderson casts an eye over Ferrari’s ongoing technical troubles, and how they might solve them, following their disastrous double DNF in Baku. And then later on in the show he also gives his views on one listener’s ingenious idea on how Mercedes might be able to help their drivers deal with porpoising…The Race F1 Tech Show is brought to you by AramcoFor more on Julien Simon-Chautemps, visit JSC7 Engineering Hosted on Acast.

The concept of copying is nothing new in F1 - in fact, it’s been around for as long as the sport itself. There have been several high profile cases of alleged copying in F1 in recent years - including the so-called 'Pink Mercedes' and the 'Green Red Bull' - but when is copying elements of another team’s car design cheating and when is it simply drawing inspiration?On this week’s edition of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson attempt to answer that, as well as discussing just how far you can go in adapting other people’s ideas - and why it often isn’t a good idea. Anderson also gives his thoughts on the aftermath of Mick Schumacher’s crash at Monaco, which left his Haas’ gearbox exposed to the world, revealing key design details.And finally Gary tackles another listener question, which this week is about whether Red Bull’s previous mastery of exhaust blown diffusers has helped them get a jump start in 2022’s new rules era.The Race F1 Tech show is brought to you by Aramco Hosted on Acast.
