We look ahead to three days of Formula 1 testing in Bahrain in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw in Manama to explain why this could be the toughest-to-call pre-season ever in F1 and run through the big storylines that will likely dominate the test.
Red Bull’s hopes, Lewis Hamilton’s progress and McLaren’s status as favourite are among the topics, as well as tyre choice and why this will be a crucial opportunity for Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli to show what level he’s at ahead of his rookie season.
We are then joined by our ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson, who runs the rule over the limited glimpse we’ve supposedly had of the Red Bull RB21 and the Mercedes W16 that broke cover on Monday.
