Alex Kalinauckas and Ronald Vording sit down and review the action from Bahrain as the third and final day of testing comes to an end.

Alex reviews the teams who didn't leave a positive impression, including a U-turn on the state of Aston Martin after a difficult final day and Fernando Alonso sitting out after illness, as well as why Sauber could be set to start the season at the back of the grid. There's also a deep dive as to why Lewis Hamilton struggled in the final evening session of the test and adapting to his new Ferrari.

There's also more on Haas as they too struggled with a flying engine cover and multiple spins, what the feelings are in the Red Bull camp as they prepare to defend their driver's title, and Alex's surprise "way too early" pick for the Drivers title.

There’s also a reaction to Max Verstappen’s playful response to the booing he faced at F175 Live, where Red Bull stood as a team on Day 2, and the team's lack of preparation when the rain fell on Thursday morning.

Alex Kalinauckas, Stuart Codling and Ben Hunt join forces at Silverstone over two days as McLaren and Williams launch their cars to start the 2025 F1 season.

Alex and Ben kick off proceeds for McLaren's launch, the pair discuss why team principal Andrea Stella is confident McLaren can retain their place at the top of sport via their “innovative” MCL39, and why there’s still plenty left for development in the final year of the current regulations. There’s also a reaction to Oscar Piastri’s confident claim that he can win the 2025 Drivers Championship. 

Stuart picks up the slack for Day 2 at Williams, as they launch their 2025 car, the FW47. He and Alex discuss Williams' new title sponsor in Atlassian, Alex Albon and how he sees the arrival of new teammate Carlos Sainz as an “opportunity” rather than a “challenge”.

There’s also a chat about the similarities in what both drivers want from their new car, Sainz on the FIA’s push to fine drivers for swearing in press conferences, and how the Spaniard will handle fighting for points in 2025, rather than challenging for victories.
