Zhou's Silverstone crash analysed + why F1 fuel is going synthetic and sustainable

Zhou's Silverstone crash analysed + why F1 fuel is going synthetic and sustainable

This week, after Zhou Guanyu’s terrifying British Grand Prix accident, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson take a closer look at the structures that saved the Chinese driver and ask what F1 can learn about further improving car and barrier safety.

They then turn their attention to this week’s major topic: synthetic sustainable fuel, with Formula 1’s tech chief Pat Symonds joining the pod to give us the ultimate guide on what the teams will be putting in their cars in 2026 - and just why the sport is heading down this specific route.

And finally, Gary is delighted to answer a listener question on the materials used to make the more mundane parts of an F1 car, and the properties these materials must exhibit - it's much more interesting than you might think!

If you want to be a part of the show, simply record your burning technical question as a voice note or sound file and send it to podcasts@the-race.com
