What does Red Bull's future in F1 look like after founder's death? Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

On the weekend that Red Bull Racing clinched a first constructors' crown since 2013 in Austin, the F1 world was rocked by the death of Dietrich Mateschitz, the co-founder of the Red Bull empire and driving force behind the creation of both the Milton Keynes team and their sister outfit AlphaTauri.

Ben Anderson and Jack Benyon join host Edd Straw to discuss the significance of the Austrian entrepreneur's death to Red Bull's ongoing activities in F1, including how it might impact both Red Bull teams and what it means for the future of the Austrian Grand Prix. They also debate what it means for F1 as a whole, given Mateshitz's impact in shaping the sport in the modern era.

BONUS: The secrets of semi-automatic gearboxes Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

This week we have a bonus episode for you, lifted directly from our sister podcast: The Race F1 Tech Show.

Each week, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson dive headfirst into the wonderful world of F1 technology, discussing the sport’s big technical talking points, getting into the nitty gritty of car design and engineering, and answering fans’ burning tech questions.

On this week’s show, Edd and Gary take an in-depth look at a bit of serious F1 tech that’s used by every team on the grid: The semi-automatic gearbox.

With the help of special guest John Barnard, the man responsible for bringing the first iteration of the paddle-shift box to F1 in 1989 with Ferrari, we look at how the technology works, what performance benefits the system has brought to F1, and how gearboxes have developed over the last 30-plus years.

Gary also talks through his experience of developing such technology at Jordan in the Nineties, but not before giving his opinion on F1’s recent cost cap controversy...

And in our listener questions section, Gary answers a question on the performance characteristics of 2022-spec F1 cars in wet conditions and low-speed corners.

To have your burning tech question answered on the show, send a voicenote or email to podcasts@the-race.com
