It’s almost time for the 2024 Formula 1 season to start, and what better way to prepare yourself for the Bahrain Grand Prix than a season preview episode of The Race F1 Podcast?

Edd Straw is joined by Ben Anderson, Mark Hughes, and Scott Mitchell-Malm to look at Bahrain and some bigger stories that will develop as the season unfolds.

On that list is, of course, judging if Ferrari—or perhaps Mercedes—can take the battle to Red Bull following a positive test and how Sergio Perez will match up against his powerful teammate Max Verstappen at Red Bull.

Also on the program is some debate on why McLaren should win a race in 2024 and a summary of some of the regulation changes for 2024 to make sure you’re fully prepared for the season to get underway.
