Austrian GP: Lift & Let Live!
from 2 Soft Compounds · host Poddworx Dubai
This week on 2 Soft Compounds, hosts Rick and Damien jump straight into the Styrian Grand Prix story that left the paddock shaking their heads: the single waved yellow at the Red Bull Ring that decides pole, and the uncomfortable reality that the rules demand a "lift" without ever defining one. George Russell plays the rulebook perfectly, race control hesitates to escalate, and everyone's left asking the same thing: is the system rewarding safety, or interpretation?From there, the guys dig into the bigger 2026 stories: Aston Martin's brutal pace drop, Adrian Newey's candid take, Fernando Alonso's future, the cost cap and upgrade credits arms race, Russell's tyre management, Ferrari's puzzling tyre sequence, and a proper Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen throwback fight.Plus, Silverstone is next, where long straights and fast corners could expose the regulation limits even more.Production Credits:Presented by: Rick Houghton & Damien ReidStudio Engineer & Editor: Ben DoverExecutive Producer: Ian Carless Produced by: Poddworx Dubai
