McLaren’s revival, trackside observations, and inside Aston's new factory

Having had the chance to watch cars on track together at Silverstone, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson open this week’s podcast with some eye-opening observations about this year’s pack. 

They then get into the big topic of the British Grand Prix weekend - McLaren’s upgrades and subsequent jump in performance. They discuss what new parts the team introduced, how they’ve managed to make such big strides forward so quickly, and what this says about the Woking squad’s long term prospects.

After that, we take a trip to Aston Martin’s new factory, where Edd and Gary give share their thoughts on the state-of-the-art facility after being treated to a guided tour. 

And finally, there’s time to answer another question from a listener, which this week focuses on whether it’s better, with stable regulations, to continue to develop a current car or start work on a new design.
