Unpicking the strengths and weaknesses of F1’s ‘Big 4’ teams

As the fight at the front gets ever closer, The Race F1 Tech Show takes an in-depth look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of F1’s current big four teams. With Gary Anderson away on holiday, host Edd Straw is joined by another man with a penchant for all things technical: Mark Hughes. Together he and Edd take a team-by-team look at Red Bull, McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari, establishing where each has had success, and which negative car characteristics each is trying to solve. They also discuss which of the remaining tracks should suit each team best, before tackling two more questions from listeners, which this week are on tyre management and wheel tethers.  Want extra podcast content?
