Podcasts about McLaren

Five years after Carlos Sainz left McLaren, his former team and his former teammate are the reigning Formula 1 World Champions. As he watched Lando Norris reach the summit of world motorsport, did he ever think ‘that could have been me?'.  Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Carlos reflects on leaving McLaren and becoming a race winner with Ferrari before joining Williams. He remembers feeling ‘powerless' during a difficult start to the 2025 season, and reveals the work which led him to stand on the podium later in the year.Carlos gives his first impressions of the 2026 F1 cars and explains why he wants to use the ‘peak' of his career to take Williams back to the top.

Golf is a crazy and brutal game, even for the best in the world. Shane Lowry found that out this week at PGA National for the Cognizant Classic. With a three-shot lead on the 16th tee, he flared an iron into the water, which resulted in a double bogey. On the 17th tee shot he did it again, which allowed Nico Echavarria to take home the title. We will do a deep dive into the tournament and what exactly happened to Shane Lowry on this week's episode. It is Arnold Palmer Invitational week and we will be talking one of the best tournaments of the year on the PGA Tour at storied Bay Hill. Scottie Scheffler will once again be a major favorite for this event, which usually plays pretty difficult for tour players. McLaren racing is dipping their toes into the golf world with an announcement Monday that they will start making golf clubs. The luxury car manufacturer and dominant Formula 1 team, will supposedly be launching clubs in late April. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content.

La pretemporada de Fórmula 1 ha terminado. Y lo ha hecho con un giro que pocos esperaban. En España el golpe ha sido doble. No es lo único que se tratará, pero en este primer programa de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, toca hablar de las sombras que se proyectan sobre la temporada 2026 de Fórmula 1. Mal comienzo y mal final Aston Martin cerró los test de la manera más dura posible: sin poder rodar el último día por problemas de motor y dejando una sensación generalizada de decepción absoluta, pese a que el coche haya llamado la atención por su planteamiento radical. El paralelismo que empieza a flotar (y que hasta hace nada parecía exagerado) es incómodo: un escenario que recuerda a los peores episodios de la era McLaren-Honda. Solo que ahora con un proyecto que aspiraba a otra cosa y que, de momento, ha quedado en evidencia por fiabilidad y falta de kilometraje. Y no es el único foco de inquietud para la afición española. Williams, con Carlos Sainz como referencia nacional, tampoco invita al optimismo: llegada tarde, y, según ha trascendido, con un chasis “verde”, con sobrepeso y lejos de lo que debería ser una base sólida para empezar el año. No es el tipo de pretemporada que genera confianza; es el tipo que obliga a apagar fuegos desde el minuto uno. Mucho más que hablar de los españoles. Más allá de nombres y banderas, el test deja una idea de fondo: la Fórmula 1 parece entrar en la temporada con demasiadas dudas sobre el espectáculo. El debate sobre la complejidad de las unidades de potencia, los modos de gestión y las estrategias de recarga sigue creciendo, y la sensación “ceniza” no está solo en redes: también se respira dentro del paddock. El temor es sencillo de explicar: que la carrera se parezca menos a una lucha en pista y más a una coreografía tecnológica donde lo decisivo sea cuándo y cómo recargar energía, incluso a costa de “romper” la esencia del ritmo de carrera. En medio de esa niebla, los grandes nombres se recolocan. Se apunta a que Mercedes ha superado su escollo de motor (al menos de forma provisional) mientras Red Bull, con Ford, y Ferrari ofrecen una pinta muy seria. McLaren, como suele ser habitual, parece seguir la estrategia de la discreción: no enseñar demasiado hasta que haya puntos en juego. Resultado: una pretemporada con más incertidumbre de la habitual, con varias decepciones sonoras y con la sensación de que Australia puede empezar con sorpresas… o con crisis prematuras.

Has Porsche design reached a turning point? In this special collaboration episode, 9WERKS Radio joins forces with James and Andy from the Curb & Canyon podcast to dissect the past, present, and high-stakes future of Porsche aesthetics. With the legendary Michael Mauer stepping down after two decades and former McLaren/Bentley designer Tobias Sühlmann taking the reins as the new Head of Style, we ask the big question: where does Porsche design go from here?The team dives deep into the "Highs and Lows" of the Mauer era—from the redemption of the Panamera and the futuristic Taycan to the challenges of keeping the 911 icon fresh across the 997, 991, and 992 generations. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": the controversial transition to an all-electric lineup and how Sühlmann's background in hypercars (like the McLaren Solus GT and Bentley Batur) will influence the next generation of Stuttgart's sports cars.In this 9WERKS x Curb & Canyon Special:The Changing of the Guard: What Tobias Sühlmann's appointment means for the future of the 911.Mauer's Legacy: Ranking the greatest (and most controversial) designs from 2004–2026.The SUV vs. Sports Car Debate: Can Porsche maintain its DNA as it prioritizes the Macan and Cayenne EV?Design "Highs & Lows": From the 918 Spyder masterpiece to the models that missed the mark.The "McLaren-isation" of Porsche: Discussing the influence of CEO Michael Leiters and the new design direction.Links & Community Follow Curb & Canyon: Search for "Curb & Canyon" on your favorite podcast app.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

F1 2026 Pre-Season Testing in Bahrain is complete, and the early signals from Formula 1 testing are fascinating. In this F1 podcast episode, we break down Lewis Hamilton's second season with Ferrari, Red Bull's long-run pace, Aston Martin's shocking lack of speed and reliability, and the biggest testing takeaways heading into the new season. But the real question… Is anyone actually showing their hand? We debate who's sandbagging (and whether you can ever really tell during F1 testing), why Aston Martin looked alarmingly off the pace, and whether that Ferrari rear wing that literally flips its configuration is genius innovation or peak 4D chess. We also get into:

El sexto y último día de tests en Baréin nos ha dejado una jornada casi “definitiva” en cuanto a sensaciones de parrilla: mucho trabajo serio, simulaciones de carrera por todas partes y, al mismo tiempo, una bomba de fiabilidad que afecta de lleno a Aston Martin y a su nueva alianza con Honda. Todo esto, analizado a fondo en el último podcast de la semana, analizando el día y la pretemporada. Graves, muy graves problemas. Mientras la mayoría de equipos cerraban programas completos y empezaban a enseñar las mejores vueltas de toda la pretemporada, Aston Martin ha quedado prácticamente fuera de juego: solo seis vueltas en todo el día, un día condicionado por la avería de batería del día anterior y la falta de recambios. Mientras, en pista, el rodaje era muy alto en casi toda la parrilla. Haas (170) y Racing Bulls (165) encabezaron el kilometraje, con Williams (141), Audi (135), Ferrari (132), Mercedes (131) y Red Bull (124) también muy por encima del centenar. McLaren completó 113 giros, y Cadillac se quedó en 99. En ese contexto de normalidad productiva, el dato de Aston Martin no es una anécdota: es un síntoma grave en el peor momento posible, con el inicio de temporada a la vuelta de la esquina. En contraste, para el resto de equipos, la mañana transcurrió con el patrón habitual: aerodinámica al inicio (parrillas de sensores voluminosas en todos) y, después, una sucesión de tandas largas tipo stint de carrera en buena parte de la parrilla. Problemas reales también en otros equipos. Hubo también un incidente relevante: bandera roja por la parada del Mercedes, que dejó entrever problemas reales de unidad de potencia. Se habló de pérdida de presión y el equipo terminó sustituyendo la unidad, sin volver a salir durante buena parte de la mañana. Aun así, Mercedes logró recopilar trabajo valioso más adelante, con Russell firmando tandas largas a ritmo constante en 1:36, aunque sin conocer cargas de combustible. La tarde elevó el nivel. Tras tandas largas desde el inicio (12 a 17 vueltas en varios coches), llegó el tramo más “visible” de los tests: a hora y media del final aparecieron simulaciones de clasificación y vueltas de rendimiento, con los mejores tiempos de toda la pretemporada. Es la típica secuencia del penúltimo y último día: primero se consolida el ritmo de carrera y luego se busca el titular del crono. Lecturas de las simulaciones. En el apartado de simulaciones, el día dejó lecturas claras. Se vieron programas de carrera (no siempre completos) en pilotos como Antonelli antes de la bandera roja, Piastri, Ocon, Lindblad y Sainz. Y simulaciones más completas (o cercanas a serlo) en Pérez, Ocon y Leclerc. En las referencias publicadas, Ocon firmó un promedio mejor que Pérez (1:40.355 frente a una simulación interrumpida y más lenta), y por la tarde aparecieron más tandas largas “limpias” con Lindblad (1:40.694) y Bearman (1:40.307), cada uno con estrategias distintas de compuestos. Una historia de contrastes. Pero el foco real del día estuvo lejos del cronómetro: Honda revienta. El comunicado oficial confirmó que el problema de batería del AMR26 de Alonso obligó a cambiar por completo el plan: programa limitadísimo, solo tandas cortas, y todo ello por escasez de piezas de la unidad de potencia. En otras palabras: Aston Martin llega a Australia sin haber completado una simulación de carrera completa y, peor aún, con una incertidumbre directa sobre la fiabilidad. El temor no es solo “estar lejos en ritmo”; es, literalmente, si podrán completar la distancia de carrera en Melbourne sin volver a romper. El contraste es duro porque el coche no ha pasado desapercibido: el AMR26 se describía como un concepto radical, con potencial de desarrollo y con el factor Newey como argumento a medio plazo. Pero la realidad inmediata es que sin fiabilidad no hay aprendizaje, y sin kilómetros no hay correlación ni mejoras. La temporada puede ser una carrera de fondo, sí, pero las primeras carreras se pueden convertir en un calvario si el paquete no permite ni “ver la bandera a cuadros”. Nuevas soluciones. En paralelo al drama de Honda-Aston, la jornada también dejó titulares técnicos: Mercedes llevó a Baréin una solución llamativa en el alerón trasero, con dos pequeños perfiles anclados al último elemento que permiten trabajar en una zona reglamentaria poco explorada y ganar carga cuando el ala va cerrada. Red Bull, por su parte, siguió mostrando detalles de ingeniería fina (el “truco” del bargeboard en la bandeja de té), y Haas modificó el wakeboard en su proceso de evolución. Qué podemos esperar de la temporada 2026. Fuera de pista, el paddock mira ya cara a cara a 2026. La FIA y los equipos continúan evaluando la compleja gestión energética del nuevo reglamento, con pruebas específicas en Baréin: desde reducciones de potencia del MGU-K para entender su impacto en la recarga, hasta la exploración de soluciones como el “superclipping” a potencias elevadas. La idea de fondo es clara: evitar cambios radicales antes de tener una muestra suficiente de carreras, pero ser proactivos si el sistema obliga a concesiones excesivas en clasificación y, sobre todo, en circuitos poco favorables a recargar energía, como el propio Melbourne. Y como telón de fondo, la F1 también estudia ajustes de formato para animar los viernes, además de mantener el debate sobre aumentar el número de sprints y hasta repetir grandes eventos globales de presentación en futuras temporadas. Es decir: mientras el campeonato afina su producto, en la pista Baréin ya está separando a los que llegan preparados… de los que llegan con incendios internos. El sexto día, en resumen, nos ha dejado una pretemporada que se empieza a “sentenciar” por tendencia: arriba, los equipos capaces de completar programas largos y mostrar rendimiento; y abajo, un Aston Martin atrapado en la pesadilla que ninguna escudería puede permitirse en febrero: romper, no tener piezas y no rodar. En Fórmula 1, el primer rival es el reloj. Y Aston, de momento, ni siquiera está pudiendo correr contra él.

Welcome to the show. It's so great to have you here today. Thanks for joining me. [00:01:57] Stuart Grant: It's lovely to be here, Lindsey. [00:01:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Excellent. Well, I was wondering if you could start by sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech. [00:02:08] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So, I was actually, I'm obviously, as you can tell from my accent, I'm British, but I was born in Germany because my, my dad was in the military in the 1970s when I was born. So I was born actually in Berlin, which is quite interesting to be a place to be, grew up in. So I traveled around a lot here in the UK, in Germany with my dad getting posted everywhere. My mom's a nurse. So I was in medtech, not really knowing I was in medtech as a kid, but I, my family was, so yeah. And then obviously went to school, all the places I was at university. I went to university to do product design, and my goal was to be a product designer, a cool product designer, designing fancy products like Johnny Ive. And when I was looking for a job as a co-op, or an intern as you call them in the US, I was just really unsuccessful finding a job. I was doing a lot of interviews, getting turned down, sending my CV out a lot, and j happened just to advertise on the Board of University, and it said Johnson Orthopedics and no one really knew what that was in. And none of my fellow students at applied because they thought it would be designing baby bottles for putting talcum powder in and shampoo in and stuff like that. So they're like, "I'm not doing that job." So I desperately applied for it and luckily found out about all this medtech, and I've been here doing medtech for 25 years. So they gave me a job. I had to work hard to keep the job and get reemployed over and over again. But yeah, joining originally Johnson Orthopedics a long time ago is how I found out about medtech. I never knew when I was 18 that really it was a thing that existed. [00:03:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. So, okay. So you thought product design, and then when you got into medtech, what were some of the things that attracted you and that actually compelled you to stay and make a career out of it? [00:04:00] Stuart Grant: Ha. So I was a young guy with the student debts. What compelled me, I was getting paid to stay, but not to be too flippant about it, but, you know, when I was doing this engineering and design work in my early days in the CAD system, it was just so interesting. I was designing these products that were going into people or the instrumentation to make help the surgeon and going to these ORs and watching the surgeon do their job and trying to figure out how how I can make it better from their input was really interesting. I could apply it straight away, basically. In the early two thousands, there wasn't all these regulations and standards that slowed you down. So you could go and design an instrument, get it machined in the machine shop, get it clean, take it to the surgeon, he can use it, you know, probably be frowned upon 25 years later. But that's what we used to do and really adapt. And probably more interesting than going into product design and fast moving consumer goods where you're designing a, a kettle or a toaster or something, a plastic casing. It was actually much more interesting to do that. And I stayed because I spent four years here in Leeds, in the UK, was getting a bit bored and wanted to find something else to do, and then an opportunity came up in the US. So I moved over to Warsaw, Indiana, the orthopedics capital of the world, as you might know it. Worked there for, stayed there for seven years. Really enjoyed it.. People sort of bemoan Warsaw for being in the sticks in just a bunch of cornfields around it. But I enjoyed it. It's got, we had a good bunch of young friends there. I was in late twenties, early thirties at the time. There was Noah and Spikes. You'd go for a drink and some nice food. It was all right. I enjoyed my time and after that I was, after seven years, I was like, "Okay, what do I do next?" And I was looking around for jobs in medtech. Then another opportunity came up in and we were looking for people to go over and help set it up, train the staff on what MedTech product development was. And so I jumped to the chance and spent five years living in China, in Shanghai. After five years is your limit, so I had to come home. I couldn't stay. I wanted to stay, but they wouldn't allow me to. So, so I came back to the UK. And then started MDR for five years as leading the Joints MDR program, which was lots of fun, as you could probably tell, wasn't really R&D, was a lot of leadership and project management and dealing with a lot of people and a lot of problems on a day-to-day basis. And so, yeah, after that I I left J&J about three years ago and started my own product development agency. And we can talk about a little bit about that later. So that's where I am and where I got to. [00:06:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Yeah, I definitely wanna talk about that as well. But going back a little bit-- and perhaps this is actually something that's occurred since you started your own company as well-- but are there any moments that really stand out to you along your journey of affirming that, "Hey, yeah, I actually am in the right place, in the right industry?" [00:07:12] Stuart Grant: That's a really hard one is sort of the, is the grass always greener somewhere else, type of question. Right? I guess compare, you shouldn't compare, but comparing to my friends at my university, my product design and what they've done and what I've done they've moved into the car industry a lot. Went to the car development and car industries always had its ups and downs and its problems. And you know, they've had some really cracking jobs working for McLaren and Ferrari and you know, but I think just the interesting things that medtech do that nobody really knows about is really what keeps me moving along and having conversations with people when they, you tell them like, "I used to design hips and knees and shoulders and things like that," and they're like, "Oh, my mother's got a hip and knee" and blah, blah, and you really talk about it. Actually, my mother does have a hip now and she's going in a couple months time to get the other hip done. I do know what brand she's got, so. [00:08:10] Lindsey Dinneen: See, that's really cool. Yeah. Okay. So, so, on your LinkedIn I noticed that you describe yourself as a fixer, a challenger, and a change maker, which I love. But I'd love to hear from you exactly what you mean by all those things as you have developed in your career, and now as you're doing, of course, your own consulting. [00:08:34] Stuart Grant: Yeah, so in Johnson and my colleagues are probably, I agree with this, I had a bit of a reputation of getting the more difficult projects. The, that's probably why I got MDR in the end 'cause I would always get the projects that had problems and I enjoyed that. I liked digging deep and solving the problem and wrangling everyone together and pushing everybody along to help. And that was actually one of the reasons why I moved to the US 'cause the original project I moved to was the project leader left and it was in a bit of a shambles. So I went over to sort of, sort of try and get it together and just ended up staying and working on multiple projects. So I like that. Really challenging, not just the engineering side. The engineering side is obviously really interesting, but the challenging project management and people management and process management in a big corporation, all of those things, people, product, process, all come together just to cause a big headache sometimes, you know, herding cats as say and going, trying to solve those problems as an engineer, always trying to solve these problems, right? So it's you're always trying to figure out how you can move forward. [00:09:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, so that kind of brings us to the company. So what was it like going from employee to entrepreneur? Were you, did you feel ready and prepared for that leap? Or what has that transition and pathway been for you? [00:10:10] Stuart Grant: So I've, I was a long-term planner. I was planning for this for five years whilst I was working for Johnson. So I went and got, when I came back to the UK I started my PhD and I knew getting a PhD was a real way of building credibility immediately, right? Before you step in a room and have a conversation with you, if you've got a PhD in the subject you're about to talk about, people pay attention, hopefully. Right? So I did my, so I did my PhD in Medtech Product Innovation, what the process is. So I spent seven years part-time working for Johnson, getting my PhD, knowing that eventually in my mid forties, there'll be an inflection point, which usually isn't people in big corporations, right, that either stay to the end for until you're six, mid sixties. If you hit 50, usually stay for the next decade, right? Or you leave and do something else. And I was like, "Okay, 45, I'm gonna pull the bandaid, go in, get my PhD, set up my own company plan, get the plan to do it, get the savings," and so I was working on MDR and a new MDR was coming to an end, and then they'd have to find me a new project, which probably didn't exist. So I also knew that J&J would be like, "Ah, Stuart, you've been here for 23 years. There's not really anything of your level here." I'd be like, "Great, let's go." So this was all a, you always it's a big step, right? I have a family. I can't just sort of walk in, not come in the office anymore. So it was a big plan that my wife and I had for quite a number of years to execute. So it's still a struggle. I've been doing it for three years. It's still hard work, still building the company, finding clients, understanding what their pain points are and improving your picture and all those other things, still is still a challenge, but it's a new challenge. [00:12:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:12:07] Stuart Grant: And as I say, as I said, when people worry about the risk, it's like I can easily just go and get a corporate job again as a move back and have all this new relevant experience. So it's a risk, but you have to balance that by the benefits. [00:12:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, calculated risk that you've planned for, so good for you. So, okay, so tell us a little bit about your company now and who you help and kind of where in the development or even ideation process that you can come in and really make a difference. [00:12:40] Stuart Grant: So, yeah, so Archetype MedTech is a product development, product innovation agency. And what we do, we usually work with startups or scale ups. Startup side, they'll have a proof of concept. They've already defined the unmet clinical need. They've sort of wrangled the technology and validated the actual technology does what it they're trying to make it do, but they just dunno how to make this a medical device product, right? They've they've got the technology, but they dunno how the product make a product that's sellable is releasable and it gets approved by FDA or here in the, i'll say here in the EU, I know I said in the UK, but MDR and I help them work out that product innovation strategy. So take them all through either they need to do the frontend innovation and understand their needs and the insights and the business case, and then the engineering requirements and specifications. The design and engineering part I help them with, and this is not just me. I have a network of experts, a sort of consortium of experts that come together and bring all these different specialties and then we help them with the testing, what testing they need to do, their risk management, usability, all that fun stuff. And then contact and help them work with the manufacturers. So contract manufacturers, then their regulatory approval. So really what we try to do is, 'cause we're bringing all this expertise as a group of people together, the entrepreneur, usually a salesman or surgeon at this point, who may be a university spin out, can spend a lot of time and money trying to find these experts, trying to find these resources, trying to understand the product development, the MedTech product development process, which is all written down in various books, but when you get down to the details, it gets really complicated. So what we do is help them go through that as fast and as efficiently as a possible, so they're not wasting capital fishing around for those experts. We already have that network of experts that we can bring in and take them through the process as quickly as possible. So that's what Archetype Medtech do for our clients. And has been successful. We have quite a number of clients, mostly in orthopedics and surgical 'cause that's my specialty in medtech. And what we also do, we just don't want to be a management consultancy firm. Well, we do if it's right, we share what we call expertise for equity. So we'll take some equity from the company, but we'll cut our day rates or maybe do it for free, do and help them go through the process as quickly as possible. That means we've got skin in the game, right? We're not just taking their money and going, "Great. This is great. Good luck on the commercialization. Not our problem." [00:15:29] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. [00:15:30] Stuart Grant: It is our problem. 'cause we want a return on our risk and our investment as well. So, yeah, that's what we try to do. And along with that we do a load of pro bono work with surgeons in the NHS who have had ideas. We help them just get their idea a bit further along so they can start looking for funding and investment, and I can share that with you later 'cause it's a really important program that the NHS run it. If there's any mentors out there that want to get involved I can point them in the right direction. [00:16:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Actually that's fantastic and I would love to hear a little bit more about the organization and yeah, how people can get involved and help and what do they all do. [00:16:10] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So the NHS have set up this called NHS Clinical Entrepreneurs Program. This is not my company. This is a completely separate organization. And what it is, clinicians, anybody who works in the NHS-- you know NHS is a 1.6 million people who are employed in the NHS. It's a massive company organization. They come up with clinical needs 'cause they're in the problem and they start working out how they solve it, even through medical device or health tech or an app or anything, right? And they can go into this, it is basically the equivalent of an accelerator program over about nine months. And we have mentors like myself who work with those clinicians to help them develop their idea. So I've got a couple of clinicians that I work with. One is developing a neurosurgical device for helping him cut out tumors in the brain. At the moment, they use two tools. They use a scalpel and a cordy, a bipolar cordy, and they're very basic tools. And what he has to do, he's under a microscope, and he has to swap these one by one, does this scalpel to cut the vascularization of the tumor. Then he has to seal it. And he has to pass the nurse has to pass in these tools and he can't see a, see the nurse passing him. So he is like, "Can I develop a tool that's in one a scalpel and a bipolar" so he doesn't have to keep changing the tool in his hand? And you can know by the cognitive load and changing that tool in the field that these surgeries take eight to 12 hours to cut out a tumor from the brain. So he's saying every, he swaps his tool about 200 times and it takes three seconds. So you can start doing the maths. [00:17:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:18:01] Stuart Grant: Yeah. And then the other, so the other is a doctor, actually, the doc is a neonatal doctor and he's trying to develop a langoscope for neonatal babies. The langoscopes at the moment haven't really improved in the last 60 years. The Muller blades, they're called, and they're the stainless steel things that basically adult ones have been shrunk down to baby size and changed a little bit. They're not very good. And when you've got a newborn baby who's struggling to breathe, the mother's there obviously upset, so the father's probably there and you're trying to get langoscope down their throat, it's not a great, it is a very stressful situation, so he's kind of developed a, trying to develop a better one, right? Even the simple things. These things are made of stainless steel and you put a piece of metal on a baby's tongue. A newborn baby's obviously never experienced cold before, so they obviously start freaking out and squirming and you're trying to get this thing down her throat. It's crazy. So I'm helping him to see if he can come up with a better solution. He's got a, got an idea at the moment. He's developed some prototypes and we're gonna help him get it, see if we can get it a bit further along, and hopefully get to the market and solve this real small unmet clinical need, but really important one. [00:19:16] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's incredible to hear about both of those stories. That is really exciting. I love I-- this is partly why I love this industry so much is the innovation coming out of it is always amazing. People care so deeply about making a difference and improving patient outcomes, and then to hear about those kinds of innovations, ugh, that's awesome. [00:19:38] Stuart Grant: Yeah. Yeah. So if there's any experts out there listening who wanna get involved in the N-H-S-C-E-P program, I know Australia does one too. So yeah, get involved and share your knowledge freely to some clinicians who wanna, who have found an unmet clinical need and wanna solve it, but don't know how to. [00:19:56] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Love it. That's fantastic. So it, it seems like, you know, from your career trajectory and your continuing education all this time that you are not someone who sits still very well. And I think you mentioned this a little bit in your LinkedIn profile, you like to keep moving. So one of the things that I noticed that you do, and I'd love if you share about it, is you do lectures on the history of innovation. Could you share a little bit about that? [00:20:24] Stuart Grant: Yeah. So. I I really, so I sort of got into reading about innovate. I love reading innovation books, right, nonfiction, innovation books, which I got in about 10 years ago. I read probably one of the first one was "The Idea Factory," which is about Bell Labs. And that was how Bell Labs has invented the telephone system and invented the transistor, won a load of Nobel Prizes. Shockley and Bardine were there. They just had this crazy Medici effect going on in Bell Labs. The Medici effect when you collect everybody together in a small area and they just start bouncing ideas and coming up with some hugely creative solutions. And that comes from Florence when DaVinci and Michelangelo and Raphael were all kicking about Florence and they were all paid for by the Medici family, so this why it's called the Medici. There's a book about it actually called "The Medici Effect." So I started reading all this and started just going backwards in history and getting to the industrial revolution and how the industrial revolution happened. And going further back to these group of men called the Lunar Men who were in Birmingham here in the UK who basically, it was James Watt, who invented the steam engine, Wedgewood, who was the pottery guy. It is Rasmus Darwin, who was Charles Darwin's great-grandfather. Yeah. All these people, they were called the Lunar Man 'cause they met every month in the full moon and discussed ideas and I think probably got drunk. [00:22:00] Lindsey Dinneen: I mean... [00:22:03] Stuart Grant: So yeah, I just love reading it and you know, I love, I'm now a little bit of a brag. As of last month, I'm a fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, and that is quite prestigious that was created by George Stevenson, and George Stevenson was the guy who created the steam train. [00:22:23] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. [00:22:23] Stuart Grant: So we took Watts' idea of the steam engine, put it on wheels, figured out how to work. And I love, I just love steam trains and that's very dorky of me, I know. But I love, as a mechanical engineer, just seeing all the bits move and actually seeing them chug around all the noise and the steam. And here where I live in Yorkshire, in the UK, up the road in York is the National Railway Museum, which all the steam trains are at. Darlington is west. George Stevenson had his the original railway, the Darton Stock Railway. So George Stevenson created the Institute of Mechanical Engineers 'cause he was a mechanical engineer and his son created the rocket the first really fast once, Robert Stevenson. So learning all this and then figuring out how, then I went back-- I'm, so this is a long answer to your question-- then I went back went back and like understood why the industrial revolution happened and it was all about the banking system here, how people could get capital. And then the legal system grew up to protect that capital. And then agriculture improved in the UK so people weren't just stuck on farms, subsistence farming. There was enough food being produced to support the population so the population could go and work in factories and obviously James Watt creating the steam power created more power. So people in horses and everybody didn't have to work so hard. And then there was politics involved with the Hugonos, which were the Protestant, the French Protestants came over and they had all, they had the ability to make all these machine parts, 'cause that's our skill. Some of them came to the UK and the others went to Switzerland. And that's where the watch industry in Switzerland created. And then, you know, and then the scientific approach and the enlightenment came in the UK and it all just sort of bubbled up into the industrial revolution and then cascaded through the 19th century and the 20th century in. Here we are in the 21st century. So I just love knowing that whole pathway of somebody said "We need more legal," and then somebody said, "We need more banking" and as startups, right, investment is the king. So it all started 300 years ago with the UK banking system. [00:24:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Fascinating. Oh my goodness. That is so interesting. Yeah. Okay. One other interesting thing I caught from your LinkedIn profile is that you are a painter, but you are an exhibited painter, yes? [00:24:51] Stuart Grant: Yeah, I, well, I try. [00:24:54] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. [00:24:54] Stuart Grant: So yeah. Obviously I did product design right? And I did product design because at school, I was good at art and I was good at maths and physics. So I was looking around going, "What discipline do those three things fit together?" And it looked like it was product design. I was like, "Okay, I'm half an engineer, half an artist, not good at either." So about 10 years ago I decided to pick up art again. It was, started to go to classes and doing landscapes and actually sadly the industrial decline of Britain's, so the old buildings of the industrial revolution and stuff like that. So I paint that stuff. [00:25:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that's so cool. [00:25:37] Stuart Grant: Put it into exhibitions and sometimes get rejected, sometimes get accepted, and try and sell a couple so I can at least call myself an artist. [00:25:45] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. I love it. Yeah. Well, and that creativity and that artistry does, you know, impact your work in general, because I think sometimes having that outlet actually spurs some just creative solutions outside of the box that, you know, might have not come to you immediately if you were just like, you know, head down, really working hard on this project. And then if you could take a step back do you feel that it helps you in that way at all? [00:26:15] Stuart Grant: Yeah. Yeah, it definitely does. Not thinking about work is and just having it percolate in the background and not actually, 'cause it's a very slow deliberate process painting, right? So it does, you just lose hours and hours painting something, which is really nice. Obviously I've got a, I've got a 5-year-old at the moment running around, so I don't do that much painting. I usually just reserve it for when I go to my art class on Wednesday nights 'cause trying to focus is not a thing for a 5-year-old. [00:26:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, That's fair. Okay. Well, all right, so pivoting the conversation just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. It could be within your industry. It also could be your history of innovation, but what would you choose to teach? [00:27:08] Stuart Grant: So I thought about this when you gave that question because I was like, "Well, I've already talked about the history of innovation and that can pretty boring." So my other boring side, when you do a PhD, you always wish you did another subject. That's the thing is like, I wish I studied that instead. So my, as you go through the PhD, you learn other things and you're like, "Oh, that's really interesting." And you go down rabbit holes and you're like, "Oh, well stop. That's not my job. That's not what I'm trying to do here." One of the ones was how technology and society are interlinked. So technology drives society, and we've got lots of examples of that. Steam engines, trains, telephones, electricity, light bulb, broadband, and now AI. And so technology affects society. Then society drives technology. They're a virtuous circle. Some people say it not virtuous at all, but they, that's what happens. And understanding how those two things, society and culture and technology all interact is really interesting to me. And obviously not all technologies are adopted. Some are abandoned. Sometimes the better technology is abandoned for an inferior technology for lots and lots of reasons. There's examples. In the eighties, it was VHS and beta max, Blu-ray and HD DVDs. And what else? The keyboard, QWERTY keyboard is meant to be terrible. And that was designed 'cause of typewriters at the time. So the keys didn't smash together, but obviously that's not needed anymore. So those things interest me and I like to study that more, but I like to study it. Thinking about medtech and how our technology in medtech has affected society and using that lens 'cause we also always talk about clinical needs, right? What's your unmet clinical need? What are you trying to solve here? But there's also a social and cultural need that you are maybe not addressing directly, but you are addressing it. And how that drives medtech, and you know, it's we talk about like medtech equality and democratizing medtech and making it more accessible, but there's always the flip size of medtech inequalities. The big one probably at the moment is robotic surgery. Hugely expensive. Only available to very few. So how will that filter through society? How does that affect society? Will it just be for the rich developed countries to use robotic surgery? How will that affect it going forward the next 10, 20 years? Because it uses a capital equipment, right? They can't be diffused through society very easily. So that, that's one thing I would like to study and sort of talk about a little bit more, 'cause I think it's really interesting, especially now AI is being talked about and how digitizing healthcare is gonna happen over the next decade. Interesting if we're overclaiming that at the moment and a lot of startups are overclaiming, what they can really do and is it gonna, is there gonna be a backlash? Who knows? Let's see. In our, maybe in a decade, I'll present a course on it. [00:30:23] Lindsey Dinneen: There you go. Okay. And time will tell. Alright. I like it. Very cool. Okay. And how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:30:34] Stuart Grant: Yeah. My PhD was like, I would probably like, I'd like to remember my PhD findings, but I'm like, no, who cares? [00:30:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh. [00:30:45] Stuart Grant: I, I've got, of course, my family, making an impact on my, what I've done here with my family, but, and I was really thinking about this question earlier. I was like, "Well, I hope this isn't the end. I hope I haven't peaked." [00:31:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, that's fair, okay. [00:31:06] Stuart Grant: So maybe the next 20, 30 years, hopefully I'll be remembered for something, I hope. [00:31:12] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. To be determined. I like that. I like that a lot all right. [00:31:18] Stuart Grant: It's a positive. [00:31:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. It's, and it's a forward way of thinking that, you know, you don't have to limit yourself to what you've already done or accomplished or seen. Who knows? The world is exciting. Yeah. I like it. Okay. [00:31:33] Stuart Grant: Well, yes, I'm yeah, definitely. [00:31:35] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, all. [00:31:36] Stuart Grant: One of the things we're doing-- I was looking at the Australian MedTech market and really just trying to figure out what's going on to see if there's anything I can do there. And talking to my wife, we decided, 'cause my daughter's not at school yet, we decided, "Let's go to Australia for an extended holiday." And it was gonna be like a month and we'll start working it all out, like we're just gonna go for three months, March, April and May this year, to sort of experience Australia, experience the MedTech market, go meet a lot of people, understand and just sort of grow and try to understand another way of people. I know Australia, they've got a similar culture to the UK and the US. But they do, they are far away. So they have a different take on things. And I wanna see what a difference is and see if I can get involved. So we're off to Australia on the MedTech market, so if anybody's listening, reach out to me on LinkedIn. It'll be we'll hopefully when I'm over there, we are in Brisbane. We can meet up. [00:32:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Excellent. Yeah, no, that's really exciting. And I actually have a few people I can connect you with as well, so, yeah. Okay. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:32:48] Stuart Grant: Oh. I think it's, it is back to my old answers, it's back to the steam trains. I just love watching the mechanism going around. My, me and my daughter who's exhibiting engineering characteristics, shall we say. Love, we love going to the railway museum and running around 'cause you can go and touch the trains, you can get on them, you can get your hands greasy if you want to, if you touch the wrong bit of it. She loves seeing them. And they're just, so when these engineers designed all these big bits of metal, they didn't have FEA or CAD or anything. They just sort of took a guess at the curves and how it should look. And some of these parts they designed are so beautiful when you start looking at them, it just makes me smile, like there was a person, a man, we'll have to say a man, right, 'cause it was 200 years ago... [00:33:44] Lindsey Dinneen: Right. [00:33:44] Stuart Grant: A engineer who decided he was gonna make it like that out of wood. And they were cast into iron and they just they were just sitting in their shop and just did what they thought was right. And most of the time it didn't break. [00:34:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Most of the time. There you go. Yeah. That's great. I love that. Well this has really been a fantastic conversation. I'm so grateful for you joining me today and sharing just some of your history and you know, what you're looking forward to next. I think it's, I think it's really incredible when you get to combine all the different things, like you said. You've got sort of that design and problem solving and you've got the engineering and you've got all these cool things that just make you an incredible help to the MedTech industry. And we're excited to be making a donation on your behalf, as a thank you for your time today, to Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which provides beds for children who don't have any in the United States. So thank you for choosing that charity to support. Thanks for joining and thanks for everything you're doing to change lives for a better world. [00:34:52] Stuart Grant: Yeah, thanks, Lindsey. It's been a real pleasure talking to you. [00:34:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Thank you again. [00:35:00] Dan Purvis: The Leading Difference is brought to you by Velentium Medical.

#539 Just Testing. Gareth & Zog try to read what they can (but not too much) into the performance of the teams at the 1st F1 test at Bahrain, which teams are looking good? Plus, what if The KLF did an On Speed sting?

El quinto día de pruebas de pretemporada en Baréin confirma tendencias y enciende alarmas en la parrilla. Mientras McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes y Ferrari consolidan su trabajo con programas sólidos y simulaciones de carrera consistentes, Aston Martin vuelve a firmar una jornada muy complicada, marcada por problemas mecánicos graves y una falta de rodaje preocupante a las puertas del inicio del campeonato. Todo, con detalles, en el episodio de hoy del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Los grandes afinan su ritmo. La actividad en pista fue intensa desde primera hora, con los equipos centrados en programas aerodinámicos y de puesta a punto. Las habituales tandas a baja velocidad con parrillas de sensores dominaron el inicio de la sesión, con especial atención a la zona del difusor y el tren trasero en varios monoplazas, incluido el de Fernando Alonso. La mañana, sin banderas rojas más allá de los procedimientos habituales de la FIA al cierre, permitió a la mayoría de escuderías trabajar con continuidad, aunque con diferencias notables en volumen de vueltas. McLaren y Mercedes lideraron el kilometraje del día, con 158 y 156 giros respectivamente, seguidos de Red Bull con 139 y Haas con 127. Alpine, Williams y Cadillac también superaron el centenar de vueltas, consolidando programas completos de pruebas. En el lado opuesto, Ferrari, con solo 78 vueltas; y, especialmente, Aston Martin, apenas 68, quedaron lejos de sus rivales en acumulación de datos, una señal preocupante a falta de una única jornada de pretemporada. La mañana estuvo marcada por programas de configuración y pruebas aerodinámicas, con pocas tandas largas hasta bien avanzada la sesión. Verstappen, Norris, Russell o Albon completaron stints relevantes, mientras Bottas protagonizó una de las simulaciones de carrera más completas, encadenando tres tandas de 16 vueltas con medios y dos de 18 y 17 giros con duros. Alonso, por su parte, centró su trabajo en ajustes de setup y correlación aerodinámica con tandas cortas de cinco o seis vueltas. Aston Martin se desploma en el penúltimo día. La sesión vespertina elevó la intensidad, con múltiples simulaciones de carrera y trabajo en condiciones variables de setup. Piastri y Verstappen completaron programas casi idénticos de 57 vueltas, alternando compuestos medios y duros, mientras otros pilotos como Lawson o Hülkenberg también se enfocaron en tandas largas. Alonso había iniciado su propia simulación, con dos stints de neumático duro de 16 y 10 vueltas, cuando su Aston Martin se detuvo bruscamente en pista cerca de las 14:00 horas. El sonido apuntaba a una avería grave, posiblemente en la transmisión o la caja de cambios, y el equipo no pudo volver a salir durante el resto del día. A falta de una jornada para el final de los tests, la situación del equipo británico resulta crítica en términos de fiabilidad. El alerón de Ferrari, lo más espectacular. Ferrari vivió una jornada particular. Más allá del retraso inicial en su salida a pista, motivado por pruebas relacionadas con su innovador alerón trasero, el equipo alternó tandas de rendimiento con trabajos específicos de validación. El elemento técnico más llamativo del día fue precisamente ese alerón, capaz de rotar los flaps superiores hasta 180 grados para entrar en pérdida de forma controlada y reducir drásticamente la resistencia aerodinámica en recta. El objetivo es generar sustentación en lugar de carga para maximizar la velocidad punta, un concepto extremo que, de fallar, podría comprometer seriamente la estabilidad del coche. De momento, se trata de una prueba experimental cuyo desarrollo se seguirá de cerca. En paralelo, la parrilla continuó acumulando novedades aerodinámicas y evoluciones en múltiples áreas, reflejando que la pretemporada sigue siendo un laboratorio técnico en plena ebullición. El trabajo de Ferrari en salidas también llamó la atención, con Hamilton protagonizando arrancadas especialmente competitivas que sorprendieron por su eficacia. ¿Qué está pasando fuera-pista? Fuera de la pista, las declaraciones de Toto Wolff añadieron tensión al contexto, con comentarios contundentes sobre la importancia del motor y el combustible en el rendimiento futuro, subrayando el peso que tendrán estos factores en la nueva era técnica. El balance del día deja dos conclusiones claras: los cuatro grandes parecen tener sus programas bien encarrilados y centrados ya en rendimiento real. Mientras, Aston Martin afronta la recta final de la pretemporada en una situación delicada, con problemas de fiabilidad que podrían comprometer seriamente su inicio de temporada si no se resuelven de inmediato. En Baréin, cada jornada que pasa, se perfila con mayor claridad quién llega preparado y quién lo hará con deberes pendientes a la primera carrera, que tampoco está muy lejos.

El cuarto día de pruebas de pretemporada en Baréin dejó una intensa jornada de trabajo en pista, marcada por el elevado kilometraje de la mayoría de escuderías, la proliferación de novedades técnicas y, en contraste, los problemas persistentes de Aston Martin, que firmó una de las actuaciones más discretas del día. Todo ello y más en el segundo episodio de la semana en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Día de contrastes. Con una parrilla centrada en validar configuraciones y paquetes aerodinámicos de cara al inicio del campeonato, el protagonismo se repartió entre el rendimiento constante de varios equipos y las dificultades mecánicas que limitaron a otros. La mañana transcurrió sin interrupciones destacables y con un programa de rodaje muy estructurado. Tras las habituales tandas aerodinámicas iniciales con parrillas de sensores y parafina para analizar flujos y correlaciones en pista, los equipos pasaron rápidamente a pruebas de configuración. Primero llegaron las tandas cortas, de apenas cuatro o cinco giros, seguidas por stints medios y, a partir de media mañana, simulaciones más largas de entre diez y quince vueltas. Ferrari, McLaren o Williams alternaron trabajo de puesta a punto con simulaciones de carrera, mientras que otros equipos priorizaron la validación de piezas nuevas y ajustes finos del setup. Simulaciones de carrera, completadas. Charles Leclerc concentró buena parte de la mañana en tandas cortas para comprobar evoluciones antes de completar tres tandas de simulación de carrera con neumático medio. Lando Norris replicó una estrategia similar con compuestos duros y el prototipo disponible, mientras pilotos como Albon, Gasly o Hülkenberg alternaron programas mixtos entre pruebas de rendimiento y fiabilidad. Pérez, por su parte, logró completar una tanda larga con los duros, aunque posteriormente se vio obligado a detener su programa por problemas técnicos. Alonso habla del futuro inmediato. El caso más preocupante volvió a ser el de Aston Martin. Fernando Alonso apenas pudo acumular rodaje debido a fallos en la unidad de potencia, limitándose a tandas breves con neumático medio antes de ceder el monoplaza a Lance Stroll por la tarde. La situación se agravó con una bandera roja provocada por un trompo del canadiense, que perdió repentinamente la parte delantera del coche. Pese a las dificultades, Alonso trató de enviar un mensaje de calma al asegurar que “todo tiene solución a corto y medio plazo”. ¿Quiénes están más avanzados? En términos de kilometraje, Mercedes lideró la jornada con 145 vueltas, seguido de Racing Bulls y McLaren. Ferrari, Alpine, Audi y Williams también superaron el centenar, evidenciando un día productivo en términos de recopilación de datos. En el extremo opuesto, Aston Martin y Cadillac registraron los programas más limitados, lastrados por problemas técnicos, mientras Red Bull también sufrió incidencias que condicionaron parte de su plan, aunque lograron recuperar actividad en la fase final del día. La sesión vespertina se centró en tandas largas y consistencia en ritmo, especialmente para McLaren y Mercedes, mientras varios pilotos alternaban pruebas de rendimiento y simulaciones de carrera. Nadie recurrió al neumático blando durante la jornada, una señal clara de que el enfoque seguía siendo técnico y de acumulación de datos más que de búsqueda de tiempos. Al cierre del día, la FIA llevó a cabo los habituales ensayos de procedimientos de carrera (virtual safety car, coche de seguridad, bandera roja y prácticas de salida), donde algunos monoplazas mostraron dificultades en arrancadas en parado que podrían ser relevantes de cara a la primera cita del calendario. Técnica y actualizaciones. En el apartado técnico, el protagonismo fue absoluto. Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari y Racing Bulls desplegaron instrumentación aerodinámica desde primera hora, mientras Audi trabajó con parafina para estudiar flujos. Varias escuderías estrenaron paquetes de actualización importantes: Ferrari introdujo cambios en el difusor; Racing Bulls presentó modificaciones en ala delantera, airbox y estructura del chasis; y Mercedes probó una batería de evoluciones que incluían nuevos deflectores, cambios en el suelo, branquias en los pontones y ajustes en los frenos delanteros. Actualidad institucional. Por si fuera poco, la actualidad institucional también tuvo su peso en la jornada. En Baréin se celebró la primera reunión de la Comisión de Fórmula 1 de cara al reglamento de 2026, con presencia de la FIA y Formula One Management. Los equipos coincidieron en la necesidad de seguir evaluando aspectos técnicos antes de la aprobación definitiva de las normas, destacando impresiones iniciales positivas sobre la reducción de peso y dimensiones de los futuros monoplazas. Se decidió no introducir cambios inmediatos hasta contar con más datos, mientras continúan las evaluaciones sobre gestión energética, procedimientos de salida y sistemas de carrera. El cuarto día de tests, por tanto, nos deja una fotografía clara: una parrilla inmersa en pleno desarrollo técnico y acumulación de información, con muchos equipos avanzando en fiabilidad y rendimiento, y otros, especialmente Aston Martin, obligados a resolver problemas urgentes antes del arranque del campeonato. Lo que está claro es que en Baréin se empiezan a perfilar jerarquías y, sobre todo, preocupaciones reales de cara a la temporada.

Want a drive that actually feels like driving? We chart Texas routes that reward focus and finesse—FM 170 along Big Bend Ranch State Park with vast desert sight lines, the short-but-epic Palo Duro descent into red rock, Devil's Backbone across Hill Country ridges, the razor-tight Park Road 37 by Medina Lake, and the legendary Twisted Sisters with its switchbacks, blind crests, and breathtaking ranchland vistas. You'll get practical advice on when to go, what to watch, and how to prep so the only surprise is the view around the next bend.Then we flip the script and explore the wild side of automotive branding. Porsche's chef-level knives, Honda's quietly brilliant HondaJet, BMW and McLaren's high-end bicycles, Peugeot's heritage pepper mills, Toyota's loom-to-engine lineage, Mercedes' limited surfboards, and Bugatti's carbon fiber furniture show how engineering DNA travels from test tracks to kitchens, oceans, and living rooms. We dig into why these products make strategic sense—and where they're pure theater for the superfan.To ground it all, we share a hands-on review of the Lexus RX 450h Plus. The PHEV powertrain delivers smooth, satisfying acceleration and real-world efficiency, wrapped in a distinctive design that stands out from copycat SUVs. Inside, the minimalist cabin feels premium and calm, though we still want a few more physical controls for eyes-up driving. With up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, thoughtful packaging, and that excellent Mark Levinson sound, the RX 450h Plus competes credibly with the GLE and X5—especially if your routine fits the electric range sweet spot.If you're mapping a Hill Country loop, chasing bluebonnets, or just curious why a car brand would build a pepper mill, this episode brings the roads, the rationale, and the road test.

Preseason testing in Bahrain is done — and the 2026 F1 season is already throwing up surprises

As BMIs and weights increase across the US population, there have been increased calls for universal screening for existing DM at entrance to prenatal care, if under 20 weeks. Others, including the ACOG, prefer to screen early those with additional risk factors (like prior GDM HX, prior macrosomia, BMI >30, PCOS, first degree relative with diabetes, or age >40). In July 2024, the ACOG released its publication, “Screening for Gestational and Pregestational Diabetes in Pregnancy and Postpartum”. In this guidance, it states, “At this time, there are insufficient data to support the best screening modality for pregestational diabetes in pregnancy, but consideration can be made to use the same diagnostic criteria as for the nonpregnant population (A1c value 6.5 or higher, or fasting plasma glucose value 126 mg/dL or higher, or 2-hour plasma glucose value 200 mg/dL or higher during a 75-g OGTT, or random plasma glucose value 200 mg/dL or higher in patients with classic hyperglycemia symptoms)”. However, a new proposed protocol has been published in AJOG for early screening for DM in pregnancy. This also describes the differences in diagnosis and care for Standard GDM diagnosed at 24-28 weeks, vs a diagnosis of pregestational DM diagnosis made prior to 20-weeks vs “early” GDM also diagnosed under 20 weeks of gestation.

La segunda jornada de pruebas en Baréin ha vuelto a poner de manifiesto que esta pretemporada está definida por la adaptación a la nueva normativa híbrida y por una fiabilidad todavía frágil en varios equipos. El Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos hace un análisis profundo de lo que está ocurriendo en esta primera semana de pretemporada. Unos bien y otros mal Aunque el día arrancó con sobresaltos, también dejó las primeras señales claras del rendimiento de algunos motores, especialmente el Ferrari, y el esperado regreso de Red Bull a pista tras una mañana prácticamente en blanco. La sesión matinal comenzó con una bandera roja temprana protagonizada por Sergio Pérez, cuyo Cadillac se detuvo alrededor de las 8:15. El incidente, no obstante, quedó en un susto: antes de las nueve ya estaba completando vueltas. Quien sí tardó en aparecer fue Red Bull, que permaneció en el box debido a un problema rutinario detectado durante el montaje nocturno del RB20. No rodaron hasta el último minuto de la mañana, donde Isack Hadjar se limitó a hacer una vuelta de instalación. Los problemas se extendieron también a Aston Martin, nuevamente protagonista negativo del día. Fernando Alonso rodó poco por la tarde y el equipo reconoció abiertamente la magnitud de su déficit. Después de acumular cerca de 400 kilómetros menos que la mayoría de sus rivales (sumando Barcelona y Baréin), Lance Stroll fue contundente: “Tenemos que seguir empujando. Son problemas de motor, de equilibrio, de grip... es una combinación de cosas”, admitió. El canadiense incluso llegó a situar su desventaja en torno a cuatro o cuatro segundos y medio por vuelta, aunque subrayó que es imposible conocer la carga de combustible del resto. La sesión vespertina también dejó otras incidencias: una pieza desprendida del Audi R26 de Gabriel Bortoleto provocó una bandera roja a las 14:35, seguida poco después por otra neutralización debido a problemas técnicos en el Alpine de Pierre Gasly. La polémica del motor Mercedes. Además, el día ha estado marcado por nuevas informaciones sobre el controvertido motor Mercedes de 2026: se empieza a perfilar un acuerdo temporal entre FIA, FOM y los fabricantes para limitar el famoso “truco” sin prohibirlo por completo, a la espera de una resolución definitiva en 2027. En pista, las escuderías han continuado centradas en el aprendizaje energético. Durante las primeras horas se vieron tandas cortas de 5 a 6 vueltas, destinadas a calibrar la recuperación, los mapas motor y el comportamiento del lift and coast. El caso más llamativo ha sido el de Charles Leclerc, que alcanzó los 324 km/h para luego levantar claramente antes del final de recta. El motor Ferrari demostró una velocidad punta muy competitiva y, sobre todo, una consistencia que empieza a llamar la atención de todo el paddock. Mucho más kilometraje. Con el paso del día los equipos han aumentado el kilometraje con stints de entre 11 y 17 vueltas. Destacan las tandas de Norris, Hülkenberg, Gasly, Lawson y Albon, mientras Alonso completaba más vueltas que en todo el día anterior, aunque siempre en programas alejados del rendimiento puro y centrados en la gestión de energía. Las dificultades de pilotaje volvieron a ser protagonistas: numerosos pilotos sufrieron salidas de pista debido a comportamientos impredecibles al soltar la potencia, un síntoma de lo exigente que será el nuevo reglamento. Carlos Sainz lo resumió con claridad: “Los coches cambian el punto de frenada de una vuelta a otra”. Alguna situación curiosa. La coordinación entre equipos también ha sido visible hoy. Norris y Albon, ambos con motor Mercedes, estuvieron rodando juntos durante varias vueltas para probar el modo adelantamiento, siguiéndose de cerca en la recta principal para evaluar diferencias de despliegue eléctrico. El stint más largo del día volvió a ser obra de Norris, con 15 vueltas consecutivas. Por otra parte, Red Bull ha cerrado la jornada con mejor sabor de boca: por la tarde, Hadjar acumuló rodaje real y Verstappen tomará el relevo mañana. En Aston Martin, pese a las pocas vueltas de Alonso, hubo un detalle alentador: el asturiano salió en su último stint con velocidad y luces encendidas, y el coche más cerrado, señal de que el equipo empieza a desbloquear parte de la potencia del AMR26, aparentemente sin riesgo de rotura, sino por ajustes de software y electrónica. Finalmente, en el plano aerodinámico, el día no nos ha dejado novedades significativas, aunque sí se vieron parrillas de sensores en Racing Bulls, McLaren y Ferrari, además de parafina en el Audi.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… MERCEDES CAUSE PANIC! RIVAL TEAMS LOOK FOR FIA INTERVENTION BEFORE START OF SEASON. ALL EYES ON ADRIAN NEWEY AND ASTON MARTIN'S EXTREME NEWEY DESIGN BLOWING PEOPLES MIND! WILLIAMS COULD BE SAND BAGGING... AND, FERNANDO STILL THINKING OF THE TRIPLE CROWN!! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: OLIVIER PANIS! Olivier Panis, originally from Oullins, Lyon, is a former French Formula One driver. Early in his career, Panis began with karting, progressing through several junior series before moving up to the French Formula 3 series. By 1990, he secured 4th place in the championship and achieved runner-up status the following year. After karting, Panis competed in two seasons of F3000. His initial season involved challenges with the Apamotox team's stubborn Lola car, while the second season saw him racing for the highly viewed DAMS Equipe team. His perseverance paid off when he was crowned champion, setting the stage for his entry into Formula 1 with Ligier. At 27, Panis joined the French-based Ligier F1 team in 1994. He secured a surprise second-place finish at Hockenheim that season, ending the season 11th overall in the Drivers' Championship. He continued to impress, securing another unexpected second place at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix, despite trailing two laps behind the leader, and finished 8th in the championship. Panis's most astonishing triumph came at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix, where he drove his way to victory in treacherously wet conditions. It marked Ligier's first win in 15 years—their last—and was the first French victory in a French car at Monaco in 66 years. However, apart from this win, Panis failed to finish higher than fifth for the remainder of the season. In 1997, racing for Prost, who had bought Ligier, Panis showed promise, placing third in the championship standings after six races. Unfortunately, a crash in Canada broke his leg, sidelining him for eight races. He returned for the season's last three races and finished ninth in the championship. The 1998 season was less successful for Panis, who struggled to score points under Prost's management. He earned only a single point across the following season, leading to the end of his relationship with the team. Panis then considered an offer from Williams but opted to test for McLaren instead, which kept his presence in the paddock despite a full-time drive. He joined BAR in 2001, although the team didn't meet his expectations, finishing 14th for two consecutive seasons. In 2003, Panis moved to the new Toyota team to provide his experience and mentor his teammate, Cristiano da Matta. Although he improved in qualifying, his overall results mirrored his previous seasons, finishing 14th once again. Panis continued with Toyota through 2004, his tenth year in Formula One. He announced his retirement in October of that year, effective after the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix. He stayed with Toyota as a test driver through 2005 and 2006, ending his F1 career at age 37, with five podiums and 76 career points from 157 starts.

SEBRING, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2026) – Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network kicks-off the 2026 HSR racing season next weekend at Sebring International Raceway, Feb. 13-15. The must-attend event once again celebrates Sebring's rich sports car racing heritage and notable aviation history with four days of on-track action and an airplane "fly-in" of retro civilian and military aircraft from the World War II era and last half century. HSR Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network honors the legendary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring sports car race, which runs for the 74th time March 21, and Sebring International Raceway's patriotic aviation history. Hendricks Field, on which Sebring International Raceway stands, was built as a United States Army Air Forces training base during World War II. One plane scheduled to appear is a Beechcraft T-34 Mentor owned and piloted by Bob Hahnemann, who could be the first HSR Pistons & Props participant to take part in both the winged and four-wheel activity. An accomplished pilot and sports car racing competitor, Hahnemann is listed as a co-driver with his son, Matt Hahnemann, in Friday afternoon's B.R.M Chronographes Legacy Enduro in their 2007 No. 111 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car. Just after the race, Bob will taxi from the adjacent Sebring Regional Airport down the raceway's Ulmann Straight (backstretch) in the T-34, joining a quality lineup of other must-see airplanes and accomplished pilots in a parade to the paddock. Positioned inside the Sebring paddock, the planes will be on display and available for viewing from Friday at 4:30 p.m. through late morning on Sunday. The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor was a post-World War II trainer that was a learning workhorse for thousands of cadets for more than 25 years.  It was used in the Air Force until the 1960s and a go-to in the Navy well into the 1970s. The senior Hahnemann and his partner, Len Tucker, purchased the plane four years ago from legendary NASA astronaut and United States Air Force Colonel Frank Borman, Commander of Apollo 8.  Apollo 8 was the first mission to fly around the Moon. Also a test pilot – and former President of Eastern Airlines – Borman put his own high-performance enhancements on the T-34, installing a Continental IO-550, which was the largest engine you could put in a Mentor. The twin "SU" lettering as the plane's nickname – SU SU IX – also continued Borman's tradition of using the first letters of his wife Susan's name on his aircraft. On the HSR competition side, a highlight of the overall entry list is a nice turnout of entries in the HSR Sasco Vintage Cup for Groups 2 and 3. Home to small-bore racing machines that deliver big-time competition, Sasco Vintage Cup features many unique and eclectic race cars. One particularly rare entry is the Olthoff Racing 1960 No. 26 GSM Dart driven by Englishman John Spiers.  The GSM was built in South Africa by Glass Sport Motor company.  The company, which manufactured the Dart from 1959 until 1962, got its name – Glass Sport – given its use of fiberglass.  The lightweight production sports cars were generally used for racing. The No. 26 has been modified to feature a full flip-top front end and left-hand drive. Power comes from a Ford 1600 Kent engine – produced in Kent, England – with twin side-draft carburetors. Spiers will battle with a top trio of British-built Ginettas, including frequent HSR race winner and podium finishers Hervey Parke in his 1965 No. 11 Ginetta G4 prepared by Michael's Vintage Racing. Michael Oritt drives a similar 1961 No. 82 Ginetta G4 while Thomas Grudovich completes the quick Ginetta contingent in his 1966 No. 425 Ginetta G4. Another favorite small-bore British contender could be the comeback story of the weekend. Accomplished HSR driver Kenneth Greenberg was uninjured in a heavy Turn 1 accident in December's season-ending HSR event at Sebring, but his Air Power Racing 1964 No. 324 Morgan Plus 4 was nearly a total write off. Weston Farmer and the team at Air Power quickly went to work non-stop, and Greenberg and the Morgan are entered in the Vintage Cup sprints and B.R.M Legacy Enduro. Farmer reports many hours are still ahead before traveling to Sebring next week from the team shop in St. Augustine, Fla. after the Morgan's frame was destroyed and even the engine block was cracked in the incident. The team bought a similar 1967 Morgan chassis as a donor car, and the roll cage was completed last week. Oil lines, fuel lines and electrical systems are going in this week and a rebuilt engine recently arrived.
