Высокопроизводительные гонки на «Кошмарной» настройке болида в Баку
In a new episode of High Performance Racing on YouTube, Jake Humphrey, Rob Smedley, and Otmar Szafnauer break down the unique engineering puzzle that is Баку.
With its castle-section corners demanding maximum downforce and the longest straight on the calendar requiring the opposite, they explain how teams navigate this impossible compromise—and why driver confidence can sometimes outweigh what the simulator data suggests.
The conversation widens into a debate on modern F1 itself, questioning whether the sport has become entertainment with a race attached. Record revenues and soaring team valuations prompt reflection on what's been gained and lost, while the panel also discusses Кими Антонелли 96% title odds and the possibility of Фернандо Алонсо retiring.
