With the second and final 2022 Formula 1 pre-season test kicking off in Bahrain on Thursday, The Race F1 Podcast asks how different we can expect the cars to be as the 2022 development race ramps up.

Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to talk through the expectations of the big three teams – Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari – in terms of new parts and how it might impact the competitive order.

We also take a close look at the Ferrari car concept, as well as how the Bahrain circuit will offer a different test of the cars to Barcelona.

With a space in the F1 driver line-up suddenly available on the eve of the opener, we also delve into the candidates to drive for Haas and the circumstances behind Nikita Mazepin’s departure. The podcast was recorded shortly before [Gene Haas dropped a few more hints](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/fittipaldi-to-drive-in-test-after-mazepins-exit-gene-haas/) about the team’s plans.
