McLaren’s struggle was one of the big talking points of the second day of 2023 Formula 1 pre-season testing, and it’s among the topics we delve into in the second of our daily podcasts from Bahrain.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw were at the track today, giving them the chance to see the McLaren in action and hear from senior figures from the team. They lay out what’s gone wrong for McLaren and how it hopes to turn things round.
But we also talk about the other nine teams, from Zhou Guanyu’s fastest time for Alfa Romeo and Red Bull’s serene progress through to the impressive form of Aston Martin and Mercedes’ struggles.
There’s also a look at where Williams is at in the first week of new team principal James Vowles’s time with the team.
We also hear from Mark Hughes, who spent the day following every single laptime and crunching the numbers to reveal more about who really is on the pace in pre-season.
