Episode Details

Formula 1’s president is stirring up nostalgia with bold proposals: bring back refuelling, ditch hybrid turbos for naturally aspirated V8s by 2031, and introduce an independent engine supplier like old-school Cosworth.

Can F1 stabilize its regulations enough for teams to invest long-term without being blindsided by another decade of upheaval?
