The evidence that Red Bull is flying and Mercedes is still struggling is weighed up in the 100th edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Mark Hughes and Gary Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss the thrilling final day of pre-season testing, with both the lap times and observations of the cars suggesting that, yes, Red Bull might really have a car good enough to challenge.
But how seriously should we take the Mercedes claims of difficulties and are the rule changes really big enough to have thrown it a curveball?
As well as the battle at the front, we also sort the midfield leaders from the Class B chaff, with AlphaTauri among the teams making a big impression.
Anderson also pulls no punches in offering his judgement of the wind-sensitive Williams and its peaky downforce approach.
The Race F1 Podcast is released at least once a week and available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
