Video: Mid-Season Review: Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show, Episode 7
Welcome back to another episode of the Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show! Recorded from the heart of the team in Brackley and this week Brixworth as host and Development Driver, Anthony Davidson, is joined by Technical Director James Allison and Managing Director of Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains, Hywel Thomas. As we hit the mid-season point of this thrilling 2026 campaign, and just before the team heads into the summer shutdown mandated in the regulations, the trio takes a well-deserved moment to catch their breath and review the year so far. With the team sitting at the sharp end of both the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships, James and Hywel pull back the curtain on what it took to master the massive regulation shift. From the early, low-grip days in the simulator to that unforgettable 1-2 finish in Melbourne, this episode is packed with fascinating insights into the relentless engineering race and the delicate collaboration between the power unit and chassis departments. Chapters 00:00 - Mid-Season Report Card: Anthony kicks things off with a look at the current championship standings, asking James if he is satisfied with the points haul so far. 01:50 - The Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains Perspective: Hywel discusses the unique dynamic of supplying power units to four different teams on the grid and how it benefits their learning programme. 03:00 - Tackling the New Regulations: James and Hywel dive into the complex chronology of the new rules, detailing how the chassis and power unit departments collaborated from the very beginning. 07:35 - Early Simulator Struggles: James shares a candid look at how primitive and low-grip the initial car felt in the early simulation sessions before the aero development was allowed to begin. 10:00 - Validation in Melbourne: The sheer relief and elation of turning up to the first race in Australia and walking away with a dominant 1-2 finish. 14:15 - The Aerodynamic Development Race: A fascinating breakdown of the steep development slope, where the team is finding roughly half a second of lap time every couple of months. 18:00 - Power Unit Upgrades: Hywel explains the massive importance of energy management with the 50/50 hybrid split and the strategy behind engine hardware upgrades during the season. 21:30 - The Ultimate F1 Dilemma: James explains the delicate balancing act of deciding when to switch off current car development to focus on next year's challenger. 23:00 - Focusing on...
