Red Bull and McLaren are the focus of the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show with host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson.

Gary gives his thoughts on Red Bull's 'mix and match' approach to bodywork at each circuit, and discusses whether the Hungarian GP updates will help Red Bull stem the tide against McLaren, who are seemingly going from strength to strength.

Ahead of that, Gary gives his view on the McLaren team orders situation at the Hungaroring, drawing parallels to his own experience of dealing with similar scenarios from the pitwall.

Gary also answers four more questions from listeners, on steering wheel tyre modes, aerodynamic testing restrictions, what Gary would change about the 2026 regulations, and whether there are any historical precedents for a team swapping between such visually distinctive bodywork arrangements in the same season, as Red Bull is.
