Explaining the surprise F1 rule change ahead of the Chinese GP

The FIA’s latest flexi-wing tweak is the big talking point in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Jon Noble and Edd Straw convene in China to explain why such sudden action has been taken ahead of this weekend’s race in Shanghai.

We then get into questions from The Race Members’ Club, starting off with why the FIA doesn’t leave flexi-wings alone and the terms of the newly (part) agreed Concorde Agreement.

There’s also questions about Williams’s step, Liam Lawson’s position and Helmut Marko’s contribution.

The progress of Racing Bulls, Lando Norris’s most likely title rivals and the reasons why handling characteristics can persistently even amid big car changes from year to year are also among the talking points.
