Join Grace and me as we discuss what we learned from Formula 1’s preseason testing in Bahrain. Can you make any realistic prognostication? Or is it pointless to guess? We also discuss the FIA’s desire to have four race stewards at six races this year and we offer gift ideas for Aston Martin employees to get Adrian Newey for his first day at the office.

A gift for Adrian would be an Aston Martin branded erasing shield (one for the old school drafties out there).
Don’t know if Grace reads these, but another thing that was annoying at the MotoGP was the ‘Last Lap’ sign appearing that showed the split times for the riders, I kept thinking it was the last lap, but then, realised it was just the split times. Caught me out every time.
