Formula 1 is back for 2023 – and so is The Race F1 Tech Show. We’re kicking off the new season with an in-depth discussion about one of the biggest talking points from the Bahrain Grand Prix: Aston Martin’s podium-scoring pace.

Considering the stable ruleset in place, how did the team go from midfield runner to top-three contender over the course of one winter off-season? Can it maintain that form all season? And is it fair to suggest the car takes all its cues from Red Bull?

Those questions and more are considered by Edd Straw and Gary Anderson – who shares his thoughts on the first race of the year.

Anderson also takes a closer look at why the field spread at round one was much closer than in 2022, and answers a listener question about Red Bull – specifically the rake angle it runs.

If you’d like to have your tech question answered on the show, send an email or voicenote to podcasts@the-race.com.
