Why the new Jaguar deserves to succeed #308
About this episode
The discussion centers on how modern Formula 1 cars and track evolution are changing cornering—turns that used to demand high-speed commitment are being flattened into medium-speed, slow-deceleration sections. Alex Albon’s take highlights the shift in driving technique, with corners that can feel almost “one-handed.” The conversation then looks ahead to what this means for classic venues like Spa, where the character of the circuit could be dramatically altered by the new generation’s grip and downforce behavior.
Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the latest prototype drive of Jaguar’s £150k, 1000PS, luxury EV. Does it have what it takes to succeed? And what changes does F1 need to make to improve qualifying, racing and safety?
