CO MOŻE SIĘ ZMIENIĆ PRZED MIAMI, FERRARI SIĘ ZBROI

·1 hr 33 min·5 clips

Formula 1's new regulations have created three major problems threatening safety and ruining the show for viewers.

The episode begins with casual banter about recording equipment and sponsor gear before transitioning to the core topic: impending changes to Formula 1's technical regulations. The hosts announce a crucial meeting scheduled for April 9th involving the FIA, all team technical directors, and engine manufacturer delegates. They identify three primary problems with the current regulations: dangerous speed differences between cars, qualifying sessions that are no longer about pure driver skill due to excessive energy management, and poor racing characterized by 'snip-snap' overtaking. The discussion delves into specific technical solutions being considered, such as increasing the Super Clipping power from 250 to 350 kilowatts, reducing the maximum energy deployment per lap, and adjusting active aerodynamics zones. A notable segment reveals a regulatory loophole exploited by Mercedes and Red Bull, allowing instant power cut-off after qualifying laps, which was flagged as a safety risk. The second major topic focuses on Scuderia Ferrari, which is preparing a significant upgrade package including a new floor and aerodynamic changes, targeted for the Miami Grand Prix. The hosts mention Ferrari's film day at Monza on April 22nd for testing. Later, the conversation shifts to team controversies, starting with Alpine issuing an open letter to deny accusations of sabotaging their driver, Franco Colapinto, a situation compared to historical 'unequal cars' narratives in F1. The hosts reference Robert Kubica's interview discussing part prioritization within teams. The episode also covers driver movements, analyzing Daniel Ricciardo's reflective comments on his forced exit from F1 and his current role as a Ford ambassador. A brief mention is made of Lance Stroll participating in a GT World Challenge Europe race at Paul Ricard. The hosts conclude with news about the construction of the new Qiddiya circuit in Saudi Arabia and a personal recommendation for a book on speech improvement.
