The first day of the second Formula 1 test of 2020 brought an escalation in the battle between Mercedes and Ferrari.

Ferrari [changed its story](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/ferrari-had-idea-like-das-but-thought-it-was-illegal/) on what it thinks of Mercedes’ DAS innovation, and also hit back at claims from the Silver Arrows that suggested it has been using lower power modes to [disguise its real speed](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/the-first-sign-of-how-much-ferraris-holding-back/) so far.

Scott Mitchell and Gary Anderson join Edd Straw in the Barcelona F1 paddock to discuss the battle on the track and off it, and they also take a look at where Red Bull fits into the picture after a day that [started with a setback](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/kubica-stays-on-top-verstappen-sets-afternoon-pace/) for the other top team.
