What insights do Edd Straw and Jon Noble share about the Formula One paddock?
The Athletic.
Hello and welcome to In Car Insights, the podcast where we talk about our day in the Formula One paddock. Now this is normally exclusively for members of the Race Members Club, there's the doors locking because we've just started going, but this episode is out there for all of you to get a bit of a taste of what it's all about. Now we call this In Car Insights because we're in a car driving back to where we are staying and we call it Insights because we like to
imagine that we give some sense of insight i'm ed straw on hosting and driving duties and with me is john noble how's your day been not too bad i've got i'm still trying to shake off my monaco bug so normally uh seasons are dictated by how many races you can go before you get ill uh unfortunately this year i've got what is it race six so race six bit of a knockout so uh yeah not not at 100 flat out i'm in a bit of uh kind of 50 50 f126 style in terms of energy levels but hopefully a good night's sleep some energy harvesting and back at it back at it properly tomorrow
I'm looking forward to the fact I'll probably have whatever you've got in a few days. My gift for you. Exactly. That's just the way it goes in F1.
What is the controversy surrounding the ADUO engine upgrade and Red Bull's engine status?
You've got to deal with it as John is going to in battling through this podcast. You've already heard the car bleeping a little bit because it felt I was going a bit too fast, even though I wasn't actually on a road. Still leaving the track, but there we go. Now, of course, Thursday here at the Barcelona-Catalonia Grand Prix, we've got to call it. It's not the Spanish Grand Prix, it's the past, however many here have been, because Madrid's got that. John, directing me there. So I don't go the wrong way, which I'll try to do. But interesting day today. A lot going on in that we had a little bit of ADOE news. We had the fallout from yesterday's regulations announcement about what we're going to see from the power units in 27 and 28.
How is Alpine attempting to overturn Pierre Gasly's Monaco penalty?
And there was the Alpine right of review hearing as well.
yeah it's it's that phase of the season that's something we've been quite looking forward to that we're finally getting momentum there's not only momentum in terms of racing narrative championship battles all that sort of thing there's there's a narrative now to news and these stories are bubbling away and it's quite funny how the spotlight is shifting between different topics and one day you think this story is going to be the big one and then suddenly it changes today um I think there were two big aspects today. The rules thing you talked about, this shift from the nominal 50-50 that wasn't 50-50, it was 53-47, to 58-42. Is that the plan for next season? That adds up, yeah. And then 60-40 in 28 was talked about last night, but wasn't really discussed much today because there are two more topics that shuffled to the order.
The first one, which popped up late on Sunday night in Monaco, was Adewote and the FIA's verdict in the documents it sent and signed to all the manufacturers that Red Bull was the benchmark power unit. and Red Bull was being very coy about everything in Monaco on Sunday night. It's now emerged that there's been dialogue between Red Bull and the FIA ever since, and we found out today the FIA has agreed to review its process.
What challenges are Charles Leclerc and George Russell facing with their car setups?
So it's going to go through all the data, all its findings, all its analysis, double-check everything, be absolutely convinced that its original findings are correct. So for now, Red Bull's waiting for that to see what happens. But if the FI doesn't change its mind, and I think it's quite unlikely that it would do, because it would be quite a big... Are you suggesting that they're marking their own homework and might give themselves 20 out of 20? Quite a big climb down if they have to change it. Because then that will affect Addo and development and what Mercedes can do, what Ferrari can do, all those different aspects. then Red Bull's facing a situation that it well knows that it can't develop its engine it feels it's behind its rivals and it will be not only hamstrung for this season you're facing up to a prospect where potentially you can't do anything until the middle of next year
