On this week's show, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson jump into discussing several technical matters of the moment, including the FIA's recent 'spray guard' trial, which aims to use clip on attachments to improve visibility in wet weather racing. Gary gives his thoughts on the design, and suggests a possible improvement after reports of an unconvincing first trial.

Edd and Gary then discuss Red Bull's record run of 12 consecutive victories, noting how impressive an achievement it is, but why it shouldn't be compared to other eras. And after McLaren's continued revival in Hungary, they debate whether it's the Woking team who are now leading the charge behind Red Bull, or someone else.

And finally, Edd and Gary catch up on more of your correspondence, including technical questions on windtunnels and airboxes, and an email from listener Steve Griffiths, who owns the Gary-designed Jordan 195 whose smoky Silverstone show run was discussed on the previous episode!
