F1 control systems explained + How F1 is approaching solving its power unit problems
About this episode
With F1’s key players getting together to hammer out changes to fix its engine problems on April 9, what are the solutions being discussed and will they work? Host Edd Straw and ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson evaluate the big changes in the works.
We also hear from Haas head of controls and systems Nick Bell about his role and the enormous amount of work that goes into this unheralded aspect of F1 cars. And Gary answers listener questions on a variety of topics from shark fin aero details and front wings in ground effect to whether active aero should be binned and ADUO.
