F1’s plan to bring back V8s explained

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.
