Host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson discuss how Mercedes have been able to turn a car that started the season as a bouncing, porpoising, misunderstood problem into a Grand Prix winner on this week’s The Race F1 Tech Show.
Keeping with the Mercedes theme, they also discuss what the Silver Arrows’ Brazilian GP victory means for it being able to give Red Bull a run for its money in 2023.
Also in this packed episode, Anderson chats to Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, just a day after the team took a very popular – and unexpected – pole position with Kevin Magnussen in Brazil.
An engineer by trade who once served as both a mechanic in rallying and as technical operations lead for Red Bull Racing, Anderson asks Steiner about the benefits of being a technically minded team boss – and about the potential pitfalls.
Gary answers another listener’s burning tech question, which this week is about the single decision which contributed to Mercedes’ 2022 struggles.
