Alfa Romeo set the pace on the opening day of the second pre-season test in Barcelona, and [has set the quickest time](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/kubica-stays-on-top-verstappen-sets-afternoon-pace/) of any midfield runner.

The latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast starts off with [a look at Alfa Romeo](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/gary-anderson-on-a-confusing-new-alfa-wing/) and what we really know about its performance.
