Why new Singapore issue exposed F1's flawed 2026 engines

The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, brings you the Friday edition of our In-Car Insights podcast - usually only available to The Race Members' Club. Join Edd and Jon, not in a car this time, but in a cafe, as they discuss a fresh software issue that once again exposed the 2026 regulations during sprint qualifying. The conversation also covers Verstappen’s sprint pole, George Russell’s strong performance, and the questions facing Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes’ upgrade package. There's plenty of off-track news for Edd and Jon to pick over too, including Williams' James Vowles making the case for changing the cost-cap rules. 02:40 — How the overtake-mode error unfolded 12:00 — Verstappen takes sprint pole 15:39 — Mercedes’ upgrade leaves questions 25:20 — Williams’ push to change the cost cap 35:30 — Sprint-race predictions #f1 #formula1 #theracef1podcast #f1podcast #maxverstappen #verstappen #redbull #singaporegp #f1news #f12026 Presented by @Atlassian Get bonus F1 podcasts, extra content and ad-free listening - sign up to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today:   / therace
