After Zhou Guanyu’s terrifying British Grand Prix accident, The Race F1 Tech Show host Edd Straw and former Formula 1 technical director Gary Anderson take a closer look at the structures that saved the Alfa Romeo driver.

Following a look at what F1 can learn about further improving car and barrier safety, they turn their attention to this week’s major topic: synthetic sustainable fuel, with F1’s tech chief Pat Symonds joining the podcast to give us the ultimate guide to what the teams will be putting in their cars in 2026 – and why the championship is heading down this specific route.

And finally, Gary is delighted to answer a listener question on the materials used to make the more mundane parts of an F1 car, and the properties these materials must exhibit – it’s much more interesting than you might think!

The Race F1 Tech Show is brought to you by Aramco.
