The Bahrain Grand Prix weekend is set to be significant both on and off track, with a meeting of F1’s stakeholders about ideas for a possible change of engine formula - perhaps even to V10 engines - taking place on Friday.
Jonathan Noble joins Edd Straw to explain exactly what the meeting is about and how far F1 really is from making such a dramatic change, and what options might be on the table for discussion.
We also tackle what it will take to make a change, and why it would be unrealistic to expect the ‘26 rule changes to be rolled back on at this stage.
McLaren’s chances of finally winning the Bahrain Grand Prix, which is effectively a second home race given the longstanding stake of Mumtalakat, are discussed, along with the prospects for Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.
And in part three of the podcast, we also tackle listener questions on Cadillac, dirty air, Aston Martin’s 2027 line up and more.
