About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of FIA's assessment of Red Bull Ford Powertrains as the benchmark engine in Formula 1 and the challenges faced by Red Bull's 2026 program.

How can being the best mean absolutely nothing?! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs The FIA has once again deemed Red Bull Ford Powertrains as Formula 1’s benchmark combustion engine. And once you actually read the rules, it gets a little bit surreal. The ADUO can offer opportunities to sort out the turbo, ERS, MGU-K, cooling systems and control electronics...but the assessment for the offerings are JUST for the ICE. How is that fair?! To me, Red Bull's 2026 program is now absolutely cooked...but the teams voted for this...now they, Red Bull, might be regretting their willingess for simplicity.
