Should teams be paying for F1's mistakes?

5/11/202638 min

We’re only four races in and F1 has now agreed to change the rules twice!

So will less electric power make racing better? Is this all to keep Max Verstappen happy? And should teams be shelling out even more money for FIA mistakes?

First 90 seconds

  1. David Coulthard· Host0:00

    [upbeat music] This is a Global Player original podcast. We are in the most complex eras of Formula 1 powertrains. They are brilliant.

  2. Naomi Schiff· Host0:12

    What is the knock-on effect of a decision like this if it does come into play?

  3. Will Buxton· Host0:15

    They're now not natural anymore. It's revolution rather than evolution.

  4. Jolie Sharpe· Host0:18

    Why should they be paying for FIA's mistakes?

  5. David Coulthard· Host0:20

    But here's the thing, kids, it's difficult. It's Formula 1.

  6. Jolie Sharpe· Host0:24

    My argument is, if they keep moving the goalpost, how can they score?

  7. Naomi Schiff· Host0:30

    [upbeat music] Up to Speed.

  8. David Coulthard· Host0:38

    It's Will.

  9. Naomi Schiff· Host0:42

    It's Naomi.

  10. Will Buxton· Host0:43

    It's David.

  11. Jolie Sharpe· Host0:44

    It's Joely.

  12. David Coulthard· Host0:45

    Welcome to Up to Speed.

  13. Naomi Schiff· Host0:46

    Well, hello, everybody, all four of us on this episode, and we have got so much to discuss today. I mean, big, big news coming from the FIA F1, that there are some potential major changes in the sense that F1 are looking to go back to more of a 60/40 rather than a 50/50 engine split next year. And more importantly than that, in even bigger news, DC has invited us to Monaco for an episode [laughing].

  14. Will Buxton· Host1:13

    [laughing] Yes.

  15. David Coulthard· Host1:15

    Hey, okay, we're a team. You shouldn't be surprised by that.

  16. Naomi Schiff· Host1:18

    So just to get an understanding, are we, um, like, gonna be on the yacht, or... Like, I just need to make sure I pack the right sort of attire.

  17. David Coulthard· Host1:25

    No, yacht, yacht's in getting service at the moment, so it will be at the villa.

  18. Jolie Sharpe· Host1:29

    Mine too.

  19. Naomi Schiff· Host1:29

    Okay,
