In the latest edition of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson take a closer look at Red Bull's recent performance gains and explain Mercedes' upgrade troubles, and look ahead to what both situations mean for 2027. Gary also answers listener questions on whether F1 gearboxes should have fewer gears and the benefits of direct injection versus indirect injection in engines.
