About this episode

The episode discusses F1's new engine catchup programme and its implications for team upgrades.

As part of F1’s plan to level the playing field, the first stage of their Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities has arrived - essentially some decisions about which teams are allowed to bring additional upgrades. We’re here to explain these decisions, which are…. farcical. Join us tomorrow for predictions! Our brand new live show 'Super Podding' is coming to the UK and Amsterdam this autumn!
