EP 58: What the Spain Shakedown Really Told Us | And Why Bahrain Will Change Everything

from Rear Wing Report · host Steve Bell, Ryan McCue

F1’s first on-track running in Spain gave us far more than lap times if you know where to look. We break down the shakedown from an engineering perspective — reliability signals, early aero confidence, and what teams were actually validating before testing begins in Bahrain. Then we launch Road to Indy, a new recurring segment where we start learning IndyCar the right way: spec cars, refueling, ovals, and why execution replaces optimization when variables disappear.📱 Follow Us Everywhere:X (Twitter): @rearwingreportInstagram: @rearwingreportTikTok: @rearwingreportYouTube: The Rear Wing ReportEmail us: [email protected]
