On the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, former Formula 1 technical director Gary Anderson explains what impact Christian Horner's sudden removal as team principal could have on Red Bull technically, both in the short and the long-run given the team’s longstanding car balance issues.
Host Edd Straw then quizzes Gary on what he thinks of FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s vision for F1’s future, built around a lighter, V8-powered car with standard gearboxes designed to lower costs and increase the spectacle. Is it a good direction? Does it leave enough room for technical innovation?
Gary then answers listeners' questions on several topics including how much lighter F1 cars could be while maintaining safety standards, the management of qualifying laps, intermediate-to-slick crossover points, and how a team can go from midfield mediocrity to the front in F1 as McLaren has in recent years.
