We evaluate the shockwaves sent through Formula 1 by Aston Martin’s performance in the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend so far in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Edd Straw convened after a busy day at the track to run through the day’s big stories, with the help of pace analysis from Mark Hughes.

We explain why Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin could be a genuine podium threat despite Red Bull still having the edge, albeit not by as big a margin as expected.

There’s also a look at how far off Ferrari and Mercedes are, as well as which teams will vie to be at the front of the midfield pack.
