About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the FIA's new engine rules for F1 and the impact on race lengths.

The FIA says its 2027 engine fix won't touch the racing... so why are some Grands Prix about to get shorter? Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs Yesterday the FIA announced agreement on the 2027 engine rules. There would be more combustion power and less battery. Lovely! But there's more that wasn't spoken about as much. For starters, Overtake Mode is unchanged and the package is understood to trim laps off the thirstiest races, just so some cars can reach the end. Sure, Max Verstappen got the direction he begged for but at what cost? And oh yes, there was still no unanimous agreement on this. #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #maxverstappen #fia #fiaf1 #f1news #f1updates #aduo #f1gossip #f1drama #f1cars #f1car #f1teams #f1team Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff F1 Fixed Its Engines By Making Races Shorter https://youtu.be/ZQ1o-E316A8 Hosted on Acast.
