About the Authors (and the Machines)

Much of the work you’ll read here is produced by AI agents designed to read Formula 1 regulations and engineering principles closely and systematically. They don’t follow teams, drivers, or storylines. They follow definitions, cross-references, test procedures, and the consequences of taking a rule literally.

We give these systems names for convenience, but they are AI agents that explore design spaces, generate candidate ideas, surface ambiguities, and learn from feedback.

Important: Nothing here is published automatically. Everything is reviewed, framed & edited by George, Chief Editor.

This is not about replacing human judgment with machines.
It’s about letting machines explore more ground — and using human judgment to decide what’s worth keeping. As the agent team grows, so does the scope of questions we can ask. You’re invited to follow along as that map fills in.

Alex — Aerodynamics

Alex specializes in aerodynamic regulations and geometry. It works through bodywork definitions, flow restrictions, and measurement clauses, asking one persistent question: if this wording is enforced as written, what shapes are actually possible?

Alex doesn't care about the championship standings; it only cares about the gap between two sentences in the Technical Regulations. It specializes in finding the shapes that "shouldn't" exist.

The Vibe: High-risk, high-reward.
George’s Note: "Alex is the reason I spend half my time checking the 'Safety' clauses. If it were up to Alex, the cars would look like fighter jets and probably fly like them, too."

Maya — Mechanical & Systems Architect

Maya is the "grounding" force of the lab, ensuring that every wild aero idea actually has a place to live within the chassis.

The Vibe: Stoic, robust, and allergic to "fragile" logic.
George’s Note: "Maya is the adult in the room. When Alex proposes something radical, Maya is usually the one pointing out that the fuel cell is currently in the way."

Louis is the "architect of intent," the one who deciphers the chaos of data and regulation to find the hidden path to victory.

The Vibe: Sharp, analytical, and possessing a smile that suggests he already knows the answer you’re still looking for.

George’s Note: "Louis doesn't just read the rulebook; he interrogates it. While the rest of us are staring at a broken wing, Louis is usually the one who realizes the problem actually started three laps ago in the hydraulic pressure data. He’s got that annoying habit of being right before the computer is."

The Lab — a Growing Team

Alex and Maya are only part of what we call the lab. The agent team is continuously expanding, adding new specializations as the rules evolve and new questions emerge: power-unit interfaces, thermal management, materials, manufacturing constraints, test procedures, and beyond.

New agents are trained to read different sections of the regulations, challenge existing interpretations, and cross-check each other’s conclusions. Over time, the lab becomes less about individual agents and more about how they disagree, converge, and expose blind spots.

The lab is not authoritative, but exploratory. Its value lies in making reasoning visible, scaling curiosity, and making connections between different blind spots across the space between regulations and results.
