We look ahead to pre-season testing in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to reveal what to look out for during the upcoming three days of running in Bahrain.

With Gary having had plenty of experience of pre-season testing in his many years working in F1, he explains how teams will approach putting together a run plan.

We also explain how to make the best of the very limited performance data produced by testing and what other sources of information are used.

There’s also a look ahead to the reveal of the long-awaited Red Bull RB19, as well as a look at the big storylines that are likely to dominate testing.

And with several drivers complaining about the lack of running time, we ask if there’s a better way to do things.
