    Car setup - with Fernando Alonso, Pedro de la Rosa + Tom McCullough in Miami
    May 3 2024
    A Formula 1 car is like a musical instrument: to perform at its best, it has to be tuned. Aerodynamics, suspension, tyres, and transmission can all be changed to suit the racetrack, the driver and the weather.

    In Miami, Christian Hewgill joins Aston Martin to explore car setup, with driver Fernando Alonso, Ambassador and former F1 racer Pedro de la Rosa, and Performance Director Tom McCullough.

    Brakes - with Brembo + Alpine's Jack Doohan
    Apr 18 2024
    Taming the insane speed of an F1 car takes extraordinary skill and incredible technology. The brakes glow red hot. The drivers feel extreme G-forces. How do F1 braking systems work, and how do drivers cope every time they slam their left foot into the pedal?

    Katie Osborne and Christian Hewgill break down F1 brakes with:
    • Andrea Algeri, engineer from Brembo, which produces brakes for the entire F1 grid
    • Jack Doohan, Alpine Reserve Driver
