Not using Brundle every race weekend is a crime. The studio format is horrendous
Believe Brundle chooses not to do every weekend but as for the studio I agree it needs to get in the bin
@@michaelgriffiths7937 For quite a while he's been contracted for (from memory) 18 races, even back in the ITV days he'd usually miss one race a year (initially due to Le Mans). Remember he is 64 and not short of a bob or two so no surprise he doesn't want to spend almost half the year away from home. As for the studio get used it Comcast are saving money just as it was no shock when almost as soon as they bought Sky they started adding adverts in between sections of quali.
All Martin wants to do now is like the best races or the most important ones so he says. And I get it not a spring chicken no more good thing cpme to a end we was all gutted when Murray Walker stopped. But he just stopped period. I can still remember the first grid walk aswell with Martin. 24 races it's a long year hey
@@michaelgriffiths7937was in studios back in BBC and itv days with just Murray on the other end this ain't new
I can see the commentators not doing every race. 24 is too many for anyone, especially with the fly-aways. I agree about the studio. I hate that augmented reality studio they are using.
Martin and Karun are by far the best pundits on Sky, their combined knowledge counts for 99% of what Sky offer. 😂
Let’s add Bernie and Ant to the list, forgot about them. 👍
Bernie is better than Karun
Not diverse enough, competency is overrated
+ Bernie Collins
@@matthewwhite9771 yup, great point, happy to concede that, forgot about Bernie.
Ant Davidson and Bernie are decent too, the others are poor or box tickers.
Having Martin and Karun together on the same podcast is definitely worth a watch. The only two competent professional on Sky Sport F1 that speak knowledge as opposed to empty words.
It doesn't matter what Martin and Karun say, Naomi Schiff is going to correct them regardless. Because she knows EVERYTHING!
I am a big fan of Ted Kravitz in the pits, just saying!
The best 2 people with knowledge of the sport and no biased views
nah they stil wish ham would be on top lol
@@cafe88racer53 nah that didn't come across in that podcast them 2 are the best on sky sports they care about the racing and the sport
@@user-hk2ff6ic5o agreed, 2 former F1 racers the other one to save is Davidson.
@@satanswolf our Anthony got experience it only matters what dose on track
@@cafe88racer53 And whats wrong with that?
Chandhok and Brundle are class pundits! I love listening to these two.
Would be nice if the coms booth was only two of Brundle, Chandok or Davidson
Absolutely. Can’t stand the new ones.
For 2026, they should just use high revving V10 engine running on sustainable fuel 🤟
When Martin said heavier cars in 2026 my heart broke
Cos of the bigger battery…yes… unfort
They're supposed to be 50kg lighter, so they suck at making regulations
Surely the 2026 aero regs should have been sorted out and finalized by now. It's less than 2 years away now.
especially when the teams will start developing the car from this winter
Nah they are pretty late with that for years. Especially because there equipment is terrible and is just donated rest of other teams
And all this electrification and "net zero" is just a massive scam. I'm constantly amazed that people still don't get it.
They go on about bio fuel. What powers the farm machinery?
@simonkevnorris it obviously has way more potential to be better for the environment. We are stuck with machines that cant be improved anymore.
@@ehrlichgesagt863 "We are stuck with machines that cant be improved anymore."
Absolute NONSENSE.
@@ehrlichgesagt863that’s just dumb
@@ehrlichgesagt863you couldn't possibly be more wrong.
I have been an F1 fan since 1970 I have always watched live practices and qualification until this last couple of seasons because the last 5yrs has gotten continuously boring. It's so predictable that this season I haven't even watched a qualification, I only watch the highlights on RUclips. When the only interesting thing about F1 is not the racing or the cars but who's in trouble and who's doing what to whom then F1 has lost the plot. I know that I am only one fan, but I believe F1 has gone the same way as a lot of other sports, it's not about the fans it's about the money.
For the god-knows-how-many-times: "The new cars will make the racing closer and more exciting". It won't
prob much slower lol
Tbf the 2022 cars have worked so far so maybe we should cut some slack
@@CCA2020and this year first to last is even closer still, with a extremely competitive midfield
@@CCA2020
It didn't, the tires still overheats because of the weight of the car + the mid season rule 2 years ago due to porpoising.
Exactly it’s still 1 team and driver walking away with 20 secs up the road.
Heavier, more electric and more complicated cars for 2026, just what nobody wants
Smaller cars and more difficult to driver, without MGU, thats everbody want ❤
Except Audi...
Was just about to post the same thing! What happened to best-of-breed fast and nimble cars dancing around the track? I've only gone to one race since this change and was horrified by how cumbersome and clunky the cars were compared to what I was used to. That's surely not what F1 should be about?
Why do you care if the cars are electric or more complicated?
If the racing is good, i dont care if it runs on dreams and rainbows. Running electric doesnt prevent that, neither does a complicated car, and neither does having a heavier car (if it makes the cars less reactive to aerowash).
@@2639theboss 🤡
Literally everyone: we need lighter, smaller, easier to race w2w cars
Fia: Heavier slower cars it is
and refueling.
@@AndyFromBeaverton I think refuelling is too risky, given that we've had fires break out. But I agree that It spiced things up.
@@sergeykuznetsov8291it’s not even the risk, refuelling results in worse racing, it takes overtaking off the track.
Common scenario back then you’re behind a driver on a lighter fuel load, you can push to get track position or just wait until they pit and bank qualifying laps and overcut them.
Until the final sprints there would be even less in track action with it, which is why it won’t be coming back
@@RD-wg9emeveryone says that but Indycar and many other series have great racing AND fuel strategy. When they got rid of refuelling Alonso went on to lose his championship sitting behind Petrov. It improved nothing. It was DRS that fixed that to some degree. The sport with DRS and refuelling could be awesome.
@@Alan.livingston indycar is a spec series and even then drivers forgo battles to preserve pace for their strategy. The racing is great but refuelling still hinders it.
In f1 every season following the ban has seen an increase in overtaking on track when compared to pre ban levels. The refuelled overcut was vastly more powerful than even DRS is currently.
There were alot more races like Belgium 2002 that have simply been forgotten to time because they weren’t worth remembering, before the ban came in
More batteries for 26. What bollocks. Give us the V10s back.
All manufacturers apart from Ferrari and RBPT will leave then.
@@djoetma ?
@@shadowfax9861 manufacturers aren't interested in old fashioned technology. The hybrids are very relevant to them for they road at business and they don't want to promote something based on old tech. Is also why do many more are into Formula e and WEC.
@@djoetma I think it’s more important what the fans want personally.
@@shadowfax9861 It's not. They don't bring in the cash. And with no manufacturers, the fans won't be watching.
Martin is back! Come on Sky stop sending Martin home we needed him in Japan. I pay to see this legend
agree 10000%
I think Martin has limited the number of races he goes to.
I think they should slot in his son Alex whenever Martin can't be present, just so we'd have something familiar to listen to
@@suitandtie2251 Alex has been appearing on the Formula 1 channel so he may not be available to Sky.
Martin decides how many races he wants. Do you really think sky would get rid of their most popular presenter?
Martin & Karun are the best presenters on Sky.
Karun’s knowledge and facts are second to none.
Martins experience and again knowledge is fantastic and so interesting to listen to.
Sky, give Martin a few more extended principle interviews please !
It doesn't matter what Martin and Karun say, Naomi Schiff is going to correct them regardless. Because she knows EVERYTHING!
Senior Stroll must be in a predicament, his team would clearly do better if he booted his son out and got a deserving driver to replace him.
His son is the reason Aston Martin team exist and the reason Alonso got podiums last year, hes doing it for his son. I'm sure Alonso is not hating on Lance Stroll
Drugovich...
@Lovit-vk5fg
Lance himself though doesn't seem motivated. Like he'd rather not be there. He can't do what Alonso can and just has a sulky demeanour.
@@Lovit-vk5fgyeah fair point, just frustrating that’s the state of F1 unfortunately, money over talent for some of the drivers.
Never gonna happen!!! I'll ask you the question....if you were in Stroll senior shoes, wouldn't you sack your own Son???
Not many fathers would..regardless of the situation
I try to watch this sky podcast every week. Most times however I simply can't make it past halfway.
Enter MB (and Karun when with Brundle) and I'm transfixed by the the conservation. He makes so much sense. His insight is unsurpassed IMHO.
Ferrari should have kept their driver line up as it is. Perez should stay at RBR, the second RBR seat psychs out most drivers. We need to bin the sprint races!
F1 should consider backing up the 2026 regs to 27 or 28, scrapping the new engine regs & instead going with V8-10 sustainable fuels.
The studio format is terrible, I have to fast forward those bits or ignore it if I’m watching live. Please stop it Sky!
Toto Wolff didn't seem to be too sympathetic to the other teams when Mercedes was winning virtually every race, year after year. Still, it would be nice to see some actual competition for the win. Could the Honda power unit deserved some of the credit for Red Bull's success? Only the Red Bull Junior team (whatever they're called nowadays) has access to that device.
My guess is that a combination of Adrian Newy and Max make the difference.
😂😂😂 where is RB in the standing… right. Its not the engine, they proof that.
Its RB/VCARB now not the junior team anymore. They won’t be driving with 2 juniors anymore
It’s the best engine, no question.
@@Redlingstein Complex electro-mechanical systems, like F1 cars, are usually not successful based on any one component. Where is RB? Well, where is Haas, or Sauber, in the standings? They have the same engine as the Ferrari team, allegedly. So, it's the whole system, not just the engine. Still, as Red Bulls scream past other cars, on the straights, it's a little about the engine (and Adrian Newey's superb aero design).
About the cars 2026... What said Max 1.5 years ago already. Now suddenly it's a problem
Yeah but that is becuase Max said it. And we all know the attitude of the Brits towards Max....
Yeah, the pundits claimed it was Red Bull worried about their PU and scared of competition. It's sad the FIA, manufacturers and F1 don't listen to drivers and fans.
cars going to be shite
Really don’t like the studio thing. Completely removes you from that f1 feeling with the delays etc. kinda feels like watching the news. Not a fan at all
Why 2026 is crucial? It's crucial, because if Red Bull is the best at decoding and applying regulations again, we will most likely see Max as 7 or 8 time world champion. Brits will declare war on Netherlands :D
I feel like if they can't settle on tye details of the new regs this late in the game, there's no shame or harm in delaying them a year or two. Of course that'd mean an extra year or two of Redbull/Max domination (which I'm perfectly fine with btw) but the Brits and British media would lose their minds.
Sky motorsport looking ahead 2 years to deflect on Red Bulls dominance! They will be even more intolerable once Hamilton starts driving for Ferrari!
It is crucial if it’s more of the same and Max is walking of from pole every race then more people will turn off, seeing Mercedes Dominating for as long as they did has made people tired I guess. Funny how the whole of Holland was crying it was the car when Lewis was winning, now F1 is great because Max is winning in a Newey Rocketship.
@@danielainger8666 and who's crying now, after barely 2 years of "domination"? The British. RBR isn't that dominant, Max is. MERC's were BOTH 50 sec ahead, even with "doormat" Bottas.
@@danielainger8666 Hamilton cannot win a SINGLE race now he is not sitting in the fastest car. He is getting FOUND OUT big time. Verstappen? Winning races every season, even before he had the fastest car. That must hurt the Hamiltoncult.
10:53 let’s scrap all that Nonsense. Put in V10s that are mildly hybrid let the guys drive
Good luck finding a single manufacturer willing to build an engine under those rules
@@RD-wg9emcorrect no one would entertain it at present!! But,that being said... if the rules & regulations were stated by FIA that N/A V10 engines were to be used going forward, then all teams would have to comply.
Can never see it tho... wishful thinking 💥💥💥
@@FrontWing-EndPlate the teams would comply by pulling out and killing the series.
Without meaningful r&d being done the returns on investment just won’t be there.
It’s unfortunate but the new engine regs are proof positive of this. The teams had a significant say and we see the result.
Great interview. All three did a great job, imho.
✌️
Thank god there's no Craig Slater
or Crofty, or Kravitz. Vowels showed a great deal of self control to not have punched Ted square in the face for the question he asked. Maybe is time to move on to Apple TV
There are times that Ted goes 'off the rails' and is cringe worthy. Overall, I still look forward to the Notebook. I wonder if as,there are less experts at the track does this lead to more input from Ted?
You guys don’t know bad commentators on Sky. Try listening to the ones on Brazilian tv nowadays. 🤦🏻♂️
@@guipace Brazilian TV is a national broadcaster.
Sky F1 is supposed to be international but they are biased
I like Craig Slater to be fair. He’s straight talking and to the point. I struggle to see what Simon Lazenby brings to the show. Seems like a square peg trying to fit in a circle to me.
It’s a sad reflection that F1 is not looking at alternate fuels for 2026 rather than more battery power.
I think the cork is the announcements on those heading out ...sargeant, ricciardo, zho? 1 Haas seat to Beareman, in comes Lawson & Kimi. Perez seat is the nucleus. If he stays, sucks for Sainz
Chandhok and Brundle.... hell yeah 👌
The only reason I stuck with Sky was for Martin’s commentary. Not using him for 1/3 of the season won’t inspire me to keep paying next year !! 🤪
Martin Karun Crofty and Bernie please ALL races
Thanks
-Crofty
Sure but only if the only things we hear from Crofty are his muffled cries because he's tied up and gagged in the corner.
Crofty? Are you on drugs? And Bernie? I'm just not there I'm afraid. I'd much rather have a team of Rachel, Ant, Martin, Karun, Naomi, Natalie and Danica.
Martin looks tired. I hope he’s okay.
There are no good news stories in F1 behind Max. It all feels very stale and stagnant.
I’ve never seen such a margin of dominance that Max has and the others all know it.
It puts Red Bull’s advantage into perspective; there is so much talent in the sport, yet they’ve all been flummoxed by Red Bull. As dull as that makes it, it’s massively impressive.
It would be closer without Max
@@Lovit-vk5fgit would be closer without *redbull. Or it would be closer if he had a teammate like a Charles, Lewis or dare I say Alonso. Personally hope Carlos gets the drive.
Seeing people complain the cars are going to be slower… why does anyone care!? I’d happily take the cars being a few seconds a lap slower if it means better racing 😅
I think the cars have become longer and wider and heavier. I think in theory a shorter wheelbase car could be more chuckable.
The cars are heavier and slower now but the racing hasn’t improved at all.
It’s a mute point regardless, the 2022 regs slowed the cars down, within 3 years lap times are already catching up
@@danielainger8666 I’m going to have to disagree there. I remember before these current cars, as soon as a car got within a second or so of the car ahead, they’d lose a huge amount of performance due to the aero of the car ahead then have to drop back if they couldn’t pass after a couple of laps. Whereas now, it definitely feels like cars can follow much closer
I think its absolute bullshit this is suppose to be the fastest and the best motorsport category and the idea of making cars purposely NOT to the maximal potential is just dumb, I get that it might promote better racing blah blah blah, you know what else would promote better racing? If the cars were lighter and smaller. And all the net zero stuff is just bullshit F1 themselves calculated their carbon footprint thing and turns out actual cars on tracks make up only 0.7% of the total carbon footprint in a Formula 1 season, the rest is just traveling and shipping the equipment.
Matt we don't all agree. We don't all like a sprint race 'that spices things up.'
The most worrying feedback on the competitiveness of Red Bull came from Chris Harris, who was live at Bahrain for race one. Max’s car seemed to have a misfire on lap 3, before he was told that it was that Max had gone onto fuel-save mode, which switches one of the cylinders off…..On lap 3!
Could listen to Martin and Karun all day long talking about F1. The best 2 pundits on sky by a lap at least 🤔
I’m considering cancelling my F1 subscription as it’s just not enjoyable anymore 4/5 min highlights on YT is enough
When the main entertainment in f1 is watching the back markers ... f1 has a huge problem, i have been watching f1 for 30 years and its now at the point where its its only worthwhile watching the highlights, very sad state of sport
They should take race damage from crashes etc out of the budget cap. Maybe teams and drivers will take more risks then.
It would benefit F2 drivers.
It feels like 2026 could be make or break for F1. I do fear they will flop, but we shall see.
😂 F1 has been like this from 1950 😂 still going strong, don’t worry. Nothing will break F1 …
I can't believe how Hulkenberg isn't being mentioned for a one year deal at Mercedes or to replace Sergio. He finally has a formula that suits his driving style and he's on top form. Other than one Autosport guy, it's shocking he's being under-appreciated so much.
Apparently he is going towardsAudi ……
His bang average though no top team has ever considered him and it’s not hard to see why.
He’s old tho mate. He’s a declining asset
Congratulations to Martin Brundle, F1 Expert, for expressing his support to Checo Pérez for continuous driving for Red Bull Racing for 2 more years, considering his good results and consistency in the last years!!!
Last year Max and Red Bull were talking about it already.
Yup but online ‘fans’ were claiming RBR was ‘crying’….
Top pod.....from two of the best in the game.
I totally agree with this: the top 9 is pretty much locked in, everyone else is fighting for that 10th place which is Stroll's to lose 😂
They not only have to close the cargap to Max. They have to be substantially better because that man is a machine
Wait til 2026 when the batteries that provide 50% of a car's power will have to be scrapped after a crash. That's the case with EV's now, where if the battery case is even scratched in a mishap, the car goes off warranty and, in addition, cannot be insured. This happened to a guy in Canada. It's on YT.
Batteries can be repairable. You cannot equate (some) road cars where this is a problem with F1 cars. I don’t want batteries in F1, but your take is wrong.
@@HikarusVibrator I'm sure that some batteries can be repairable. Whether that will hold true of the new F1 batteries remains to be seen. I am glad we both agree that we don't want them in F1.
@@Happychappy444 you seem to be under the ridiculous impression that all EVs are the same. Maybe read up on why insurance companies are scrapping cars instead of doing repairs. It’s not as ridiculously hard to understand as you might imagine
@HikarusVibrator How will the battery hold up under a crash at 180mph?
@@Happychappy444same as it does now, do you know when we started using them, 2011 somewhere, bar williams that used the flywheel.
I wonder if sky are getting worried about the viewing figures...??
Aero setbacks work good but they should also do setbacks with budget. Might help aswell.
Great commentary
I'm so tired of F1 pretending they care about the earth and making racing terrible because of the attempt to go "green". It's made racing nonexistent and we have one driver winning every race, please make changes, we just want to see some actual racing for the win.
This was a good one - more Brundle!
Thought it was common knowledge that they're delaying the regulations for as long as possible to tighten up the field. Red bull could start now and just field their 24 car next year and still win. It does make sense
The question about Ricciardo surprised me. He's not in the game. It was expected for him to annihilate Yuki, which he hasn't at all.
Who expected him to annihilate Tsunoda? I know I did not, Ricciardo is a marketing driver now, like a lot of them atm.
Hold on, you're telling me that Martin isn't going to be at 8 races this year? I really cannot wait for my Sky subscription to run out in September..
Good team talk . Shame Ant Davidson wasn't there though .
Sergeant ,Ricciardo , Zho to go ! ( Carlos to replace Lance ? Pipe dream !!😂)
Albon to Mercedes .
Ferrari’s huge boost in stock price when LH signed was due to Q4 financial report and future earnings. Please stop spreading misinformation, LH was definitely not the reason behind the stock increase, probably just clever timing from the team.
If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes fact, like for example that the 2021 reg changes were designed to cripple Mercedes
A clearer minded thinker would think hams involvement would lower stock prices.
Ferrari have made a HUGE mistake letting sainz go end of story.
This is amazing
Japan coverage was the FIRST time I've seen a tyre availability comparison ( even though it missed out the softs ! )
AT LAST !!
Why have they not done this before ? Crucial for my in house predictions !
Bernie is getting more confident and getting better ! ( not a moment too soon !) Finding her own voice !
They need to get rid of DRS, make the engines scream on bio based fuel and ditch the batteries, also get rid of penalties for replacing broken parts
What about Andretti for Carlos if the rumours are true about them buying out Alpine.. only downside of having to use the Renault ice for another 5+ years..
The only 2 I want to hear from every weekend Yoda Knowledge & super detailed analysis.
Now over to Naomi to tell us it might rain or be sunny later… or repeat something one of the others has already said 🤣
it would be great if they got a engineer in the talk as well
The current cars are only as long as they are because designers want to make the sidepods and rear cowl into the aero shapes they are. Yeah, there's some crash structures, but they could make the cars much shorter and still have hybrid. The easiest way to make them lighter is to got back to ICE only and ditch all the batteries, ERS etc, without the massive torque, they can make the wheels & tyres lighter.
Brundle being positive about the track in China??? I remember him saying several years ago this was not one of Tilke's finest tracks 😂
Will McL and Williams ever get it right?
question to the team,costs,logistics,....why isnt Abu Dhabi in the same block as Bahrain and Saudi
Can you pls add some kind of TOC to this 37-min video
suzuka is a great driving track and watching
but it's narrow and tricky to pass
Checo had an issue in Australia, which is why he did not finish higher.
Carlos will never drive again in the same team where Max is! Carlos Sr. and Jos together (again) in the same pit will not end well...
Off topic but I actually miss Jake Humphreys when he was covering F1 before retiring to become a dad I believe and then returning to football commentary.
I think Brundle is smart in being selective of what races he attends because of the bigger calendar and doesn't want to commmute everywhere.
However I do wonder how long is contracted for with SKY Sports F1 and who is most likely to takeover his role.
Great insight
The problem Carlos has is that there are no competitive teams other than Redbull and then even if you get there you have max as a team mate.
I thought 2026 car development was a reset for all teams and not be subject to 2025 finishing order restrictions on CFD and wind tunnel time. Anyone know?
Is that an album cover behind Martin?
Chances are that the introduction of the new rules for 2026 may be postponed for one more year.
MB why are you not in Norfolk anymore on these videos? Have you moved abroad?!
Where is Brundle? Looks like Las Vegas
Audi may not be immediately better than Kick Me, but they never suck in any racing series they commit to. They'll be on podiums within 3 years.

👌👏 Greets from Amsterdam
The best thing f1 can do with the regs is nothing. We always see the teams closing up greatly just before the new regs start. Just leave it, forget more electric and batteries. If anthing give them a standard vanilla active suspension and maybe remove a little top surface areo
I doubt Red Bull Racing would bring Carlos Sainz to compete against Max Verstappen. Currently, Red Bull Racing is comfortable with their drivers not racing each other within the team, and they will likely aim to maintain this setup. On the other hand, the Sainz family's strong ties with Audi might mean that Carlos could secure a seat with Sauber, even if it means spending at least a year racing in the midfield
Will the 2026 aero regs be ground effect based?
Yes
I'm not sure the regulation changes result in better racing. What would have been amazing is if there were no regulation changes in 2022, RB had closed the gap, Mclaren were making leaps and bounds, pity Ferrari tried to cut corners, Williams would certainly be in business. DRS has taken the joy out of overtakes and you've got to be close enough to put it to use anyway
I used to follow F1 avidly but not for many years. Can someone kindly explain what's happening in 2026? Hopefully a return to bigger engines and less regulations...
Google articles…. Inform yourself. Its more hybrid, full ‘clean’ fuel…. Still ground effect cars
There is a thing called the Google. Use it
Karun & Brundle are 99.9% of Sky F1
Man I really really hope Karun becomes the main booth analyst when Martin retires.
This is sport and most sports trade "players" during seasons. Do you think that Ferrari and Mercedes could trade Hamilton and Sainz during the season? Say at the summer break, they give both driver's the ability to test the other vehicle. This would help Ferrari by moving Sainz out, who is out-performing Charles and then that would eliminate the weekly "did you make a mistake" conversations. This would help Mercedes by them moving Hamilton out, who is not happy with the car, and Lewis is already signed with Ferrari in any case. It relieves Toto from the pressure of giving Hamilton a good car during his last season with the team.
At least one of these guys need to be at every race
For me F1 is also abut the noise. Of the car I mean. I miss the turbo era. I would be happy if the hybrid was thrown out.
Just go back to V10's and stop with all this enviroment nonesense.
Apparently in Melbourne Perez had damaged his car and lost performance. The season has only just started. It will be interesting if he can maintain that performance for the rest of the season.
You mean he might beat Max?
No he didn’t damage his car, he had a tear off of the helmet stuck under his floor.
@@Lovit-vk5fg😂
I'm not a fan of trying to bunch up the midfield. That is what these regulations have done. We need a fight at the front and the top teams should be able to spend more money to develop more throughout the year.
2026 is very close when a big rule change is coming... does it still seem like teams will need to harvest electric energy from the ice? I understand 50/50 being desirable but burning fuel to top up battery seems inefficient (happy to be wrong) which counters the reason they're increasing the battery portion anyway? Seems like so much to resolve in very little time.
2026 is STILL THESE GROUND EFFECT CARS…which RBR understands and Merc doesn’t…. It’s new engine regs yes, but still ground effect
@@Redlingstein there's talk that front and rear wings will have active aero to compensate for the engine regs - otherwise cars will be slowing on straights to charge batteries. They want to use active aero to avoid cars having to slow on the straight. Its still ground effects but adding active aero is still a major change.
@@Redlingstein I might not be understanding it completely hence the question...
