• F1 pre-season testing: What to watch for

  We look ahead to three days of 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 is 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.

• Can Aston Martin’s new car prove it’s ready for Newey and 2026?

  Aston Martin’s hopes for 2025 with the new AMR 25 are discussed in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to examine why this year’s car is important for Aston Martin if it’s to deliver on the high-expectations for 2025, and what the team needs to do to prove its on the right track.  We explain why Adrian Newey’s impact is yet to come, and highlight the role Andy Cowell has played in changing the way the team works in a way that should hopefully ensure it has an easier-to-drive car this year.  Finally, Gary Anderson, who was the founding technical director of this team in its Jordan guise, joins us to offer his in-depth technical analysis of the car.
