Welcome back to another episode of the Tech Heads F1 Podcast! Bryson and Dr. Obbs officially welcome Molly Oxner as the third co-host to the show, and we we commemorate the occasion with a very special guest joining the studio for Episode 5. Few individuals in the F1 Tech space are as prolific and well-versed as our invited guest, Craig Scarborough aka Scarbs F1. Despite not formally being trained as an engineer, illustrator, or journalist Scarbs has nevertheless managed to excel at all three, becoming one of the foremost experts in the field through a long career of studying, writing, and teaching others about the wonderful world of Formula 1 technology. When not explaining complex mechanical and aerodynamic concepts through detailed threads and articles online, Craig provides technical analysis for Formula 1 on it's very popular F1TV Tech Talk program. In this week's episode, Scarbs sits down to give some insight into how F1 became his passion (along with aircraft), while we discuss in detail some key topics, including his thoughts on the 2022 season thus far, suspension tricks and compromises without gas springs or inerters, how F1 gearboxes work, and what to get excited about in 2026 and beyond. This was a great discussion, we hope you enjoy! Scarbs F1 Background (2:11) The Making of an F1 Technical Expert (3:54) Favorite Innovations of 2022 So Far (7:00) Abstract Problem Solving in F1 (10:34) 2023 Wing Mirrors and Rear View Cameras (11:38) Technical Developments for Monza (15:47) Suspension: Tricks and Compromises in 2022 (19:52) The Allure of Active Suspension (27:47) How F1 Gearboxes Work (31:25) The Dark Art of Tyre Warm-Up (40:35) Optional Rear Brakes and Active Aero in 2026?

The exterior of the new Tundra was designed around the phrase “technical muscle.” You can see it in the oversize grille, the squared off corners, and the big, bold lettering on the tailgate. Where previous generations of the Tundra had their edges softened, this truck looks chiseled. But sharp corners generally make aerodynamics—and by extension, fuel efficiency—something of a nightmare. In this episode we'll talk about how the team approached the challenge of designing an exterior from scratch, the overall direction of truck design, and highlight the extremely clever Active Aero features that allow a square truck to slice through the air—and makes Tundra look like nothing else on the market.

Wheels - Aston Martin has a new, sexy special edition DBS out called the DBS Superleggera "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and the wheels ARE EPIC! So lets talk about.... WHEELS! Specifically directional wheels. Ralph Gilles hates 'em, but its a trend thats picking up more and more rapidly as electrification becomes more mainstream Hatchbacks and Hot Hatches - Apparently, and this is news to me, the USA HATES them. Why? Probably because they are too busy sucking down all of the Crossover and SUV bullshit the inudstry keeps shoving down their throats. Well thats fine and all, but lets take a moment to appreciate the oddball BMW X2 as a sporty hatchback, and then remember that we still have the GTI and Golf-R....but its not enough! Oh and, i think Jeep should offer a Compass Trackhawk........ yeah, i said it. Stealth and 3000GT/GTO - these are the twins that made my dreams wet as a young man. And im STILL drooling over them. Active Aero, Active Exhaust, AWD and ALL WHEEL STEERING???? in 1991 (through 1999) Thats bonkers! But good luck finding a GOOD used one with low miles for anything under 30k. OK lets be honest, good luck finding one period in good condition. Side note, Toyota is offering NEW Body parts for the MKIII and MKIV Supras! Yes, you read that right, NEW. As in, fresh off the (Stamping) press, warrantied and everything else that comes with the word NEW from an OEM. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sketchbookaudio/support
