With the Formula 1 season about to spring back into life after the August break, The Race F1 Tech Show host Edd Straw talks battery technology in motorsport with the key players behind [About:Energy](https://www.aboutenergy.io/?ref=the-race.com).

CEO Gavin White and COO Kieran O'Regan explain the work their company is doing and reveal all about the state of battery technology, particularly with reference to the 2026 F1 regulations. It's a revealing conversation that not only delves into current technology, but also what the future might bring.

Star of the show and former technical director Gary Anderson reveals all about the braking rule change that was slipped into the F1 regulations right at the start of the summer break and ponders how teams might have been taking advantage of a loophole in the rules.

As always, Gary is on hand to answer listeners' questions - this week explaining the intellectual property around F1 engines, parc ferme regulations and rear wing settings.
