THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

With Gary Anderson on holiday, Edd Straw is joined on this episode of The Race F1 Tech Show by Mark Hughes to delve into the reasons behind Red Bull’s dramatic turnaround to win at Monza, 12 months after struggling badly at the same track.


We also discuss whether the 2025 regulations have delivered on their objectives in terms of improving the raceability of the cars, and what to expect from next year’s rules on that front.


There’s also questions from listeners about push-to-pass, low-downforce configurations and how much weight could be removed from F1 cars.
