Newey Aston Struggles; Barcelona–Spa Rotates | Podcast Ep 978

Newey Aston Struggles; Barcelona–Spa Rotates | Podcast Ep 978

F1 2026 Bahrain testing sparks early alarm bells as drivers slam the new energy-management era, Aston Martin’s Newey car looks off the pace, and F1 confirms a Barcelona–Spa rotation deal. Todd and Grace break down why the new regulations could turn races into “deployment chess,” how safety concerns around starts and lift-and-coast are already forcing FIA conversations, and what the early hybrid behavior hints about competitive order.They also tackle Alpine’s strategic prioritization, and the bigger calendar story: what rotating historic venues means for the sport’s identity and for fans planning pilgrimages to tracks like Spa and Barcelona. Along the way, they connect the dots between modern sim-driven driver development, the changing tone of sports interviews, and a few unexpected side quests, keeping it sharp, skeptical, and funny.
