F1 Explains

New track prep, pit lane positions, track walks + AI strategy? Your Questions Answered by Lawrence Barretto + Bernie Collins

How do teams and drivers get ready for a track they've never been to before? It takes complex calculations, decades of data and a dash of racers' instinct. F1 Explains has the full answer as we prepare to head to Las Vegas.

Plus, who gets which garage in the pit lane? What happens in 'parc fermé', what's an 'anti-stall' and which drivers are interview chatterboxes? 

Katie Osborne and Christian Hewgill put more of your questions to race-winning F1 strategist Bernie Collins and F1 Correspondent & Presenter, Lawrence Barretto:

  • Why F1 drivers walk the track before they race on it
  • Why engine suppliers make a big difference
  • How teams are using AI to plot race strategy
  • Why F1 teams change their names
We love answering your F1 questions! If you have something you'd like Christian, Katie and our team of experts to dive into, record a voice note or write us a message and email it to why@F1.com
