Summary
With Formula 1’s engine future increasingly looking to be a return to V8s, we explain the state of play in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble and Glenn Freeman join Edd Straw to discuss the likely timelines, and the wider details of the mooted change of power unit regulation direction.
The price challenges of sustainable fuels and the attempt to get that under control, as well as talk of shorter races are also tackled.
In the final part of the podcast, we tackle questions from The Race Members’ Club on Laurent Mekies’s performance as Red bull team principal, the similarities between 2025 and 1996 and the nature of rivalries in modern F1.
