Show Notes
Aston Martin's start to the season has been dogged by reliability problems, with serious vibrations from Honda's power unit damaging batteries beyond repair and leaving its drivers in pain. But who is to blame for these issues, and why is implementing a fix so difficult? Host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson dig into those questions on the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show.
Gary also gives his views on the news that Aston Martin are set to bring in a new team principal to allow Adrian Newey to put all his focus on technical matters, shares his thoughts on power deployment at the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix, and answers questions from listeners on battery charging, front-axle harvesting and 3D scanning.
