Summary
In this episode of Formula Fanatics, a subseries of the Drive Thru News podcast, we get ever closer to the upcoming season and logistics for watching races, including F1 coverage moving to Apple TV. We discuss rumors that drivers dislike their new cars and that driving style is changing due to battery regeneration, coasting into corners, rough first-gear behavior, reduced fuel flow, and the removal of DRS, raising concerns about difficult passing and “parade lap” racing. Our hosts give mixed expectations for the season, speculate who might adapt best, predict the year may become dull after a few races, and discuss potential viewership impacts from the Apple TV move.
