Will team principal role blunt Newey's technical powers?
About this episode
Edd Straw and Gary Anderson discuss Adrian Newey's new role at Aston Martin and its potential impact on the team's technical performance.
On the latest edition of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and Gary Anderson discuss whether Adrian Newey's impending switch to the team principal role at Aston Martin will blunt the impact he'll be able to make on the technical side of things at the team. Before that, Gary has his say on McLaren's baffling Qatar strategy, and he also discusses why teams are having to 'make do and mend' with car parts at this late stage of the season. As ever, Gary also gets stuck into answering questions from listeners, which this week are on tyre graining, plank skids, and Oscar Piastri's low-grip struggles. Got a tech question for Gary?
