F1, Red Bull’s Future & Why Innovation Feels Stagnant | EP 21
This week on Lost in Tech, Lola Oyelayo-Pearson takes Mamuna Oladipo on a deep dive into the world of Formula 1, breaking down how the sport engineers competition, changes rules to shape eras, and the impact of Adrian Newey’s departure from Red Bull. We compare this shift to Jony Ive leaving Apple and how key figures shape (or destabilize) dominant brands.
From there, we pivot to innovation in tech today—or rather, the lack of it. With many companies focusing on safe iterations and maintenance rather than bold, risk-taking moves, are we in an era of stagnation? Why aren’t we seeing more companies pushing the envelope like Nintendo did with the Wii? And how do economic factors like shareholders, profitability, and market constraints shape the decisions we see in modern tech?
📌 Inside This Episode:
🔹 F1 & Engineering Competition: How rule changes shape dominance and unpredictability.
🔹 Adrian Newey Leaves Red Bull: What this means for the future of the team.
🔹 Jony Ive & Apple: Do brands lose their magic when their visionary leaders depart?
🔹 The Current State of Tech Innovation:
- Why does it feel like we’re seeing maintenance over risk-taking?
- The role of shareholders & financial constraints in stifling bold ideas.
- Are we just in an innovation lull, or has the landscape truly shifted?
