Former Ferrari and Williams engineer Rob Smedley has criticised some modern race engineers for taking too long to provide drivers with vital information during races. He made the comments while speaking on the High Performance Racing podcast alongside Otmar Szafnauer and Jake Humphrey.
Smedley described a great race engineer as someone who understands both the technical aspects of the car and the driver's psychology. He emphasised the need for knowledge in aerodynamics, tyres and mechanical systems to optimise performance quickly.
