Understanding Verstappen's gripes with F1's 'battery world championship'
Max Verstappen calls it Mario Kart racing. His critics call it sour grapes. Is it possible to come to an agreement over F1's new rules?
Despite freezing cold weather and a tube strike, Pat Symonds made it to our Chelsea offices and spent a very interesting hour with us. Thankfully Pat is one of the few engineers in Formula 1 that can explain the staggering amount of technology in Formula 1 in layman’s terms and what he has to say about KERS, the new rules and Red Bull this year was fascinating. Not to mention what he had to say about Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Jean Alesi.

We hope you enjoy it. As always, do leave a comment – we’re always interested to know what everyone thinks. Good or bad!
