On the latest edition of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and Gary Anderson discuss whether Adrian Newey's impending switch to the team principal role at Aston Martin will blunt the impact he'll be able to make on the technical side of things at the team.

Before that, Gary has his say on McLaren's baffling Qatar strategy, and he also discusses why teams are having to 'make do and mend' with car parts at this late stage of the season.

As ever, Gary also gets stuck into answering questions from listeners, which this week are on tyre graining, plank skids, and Oscar Piastri's low-grip struggles.

On this episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, hosts Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson discuss Red Bull's impending decision on which of its drivers race where in 2026, and ask whether the senior team's technical direction is giving it an unnecessary headache when promoting drivers from Racing Bulls.

After that, Edd and Gary discuss the title run-in, and in particular Oscar Piastri's struggles on low-grip surfaces compared to team-mate Lando Norris. Will we see a change of fortunes for Piastri on the higher-grip Interlagos circuit?

As ever, the episode is rounded out with a bumper questions section, with Gary answering questions from listeners about 1970s F1 budgets, overheating on the grid, and missing F1 tech.
