The changes by the FIA which include new hybrid energy demands, have been criticised by some fans and even drivers but there's a few reasons why the change is good. They also dive into why a return to V8 powertrains in 2030 or 2031 may hit Cadillac's Formula 1 team hard and how Susie Wolff’s Charlotte Tilbury deal helped transform F1 Academy’s commercial appeal and open the door to a wider wave of major non-traditional motorsport sponsors. If you want F1 analysis with context, debate, and the biggest storylines from the paddock, this episode has you covered.
