National Motorsport in the UK has always been a focus for Autosport magazine, which of course is celebrating 70 years in 2020. It’s sometimes overshadowed by how much Formula 1 gets talked about, but our readers have been telling us they want more from National racing, so we’ve launched a new supplment to hear. And in audio form, here is a new podcast from the team. On the show today join Stephen Lickorish, Autosport Editor Kevin Turner, and your host of the national podcasts Stefan Mackley.

Mercedes ended the first week of Formula 1 testing in Barcelona with a fastest time and some of the best reliability. Valtteri Bottas set a time in the morning which already blows away the best lap of 2019 testing. Meanwhile, their rivals have been questioning the legality of the DAS system and whether the ability to change toe angles constitutes a breach of parc ferme rules. With three days of action to look back on, our team in the paddock analyse the form so far.

Today there was a buzz which rippled through the F1 Paddock – why was Lewis Hamilton pushing and pulling his steering wheel? As more of the assembled journalists saw on-board footage of the W11 the obvious question was: is this a technical problem or an innovation nobody else has thought of? As James Allison would soon confirm, it was the latter. Mercedes-Benz even have a name for it – ‘DAS’. On the podcast today we explain what it is, and how it can be used.

As Alex is travelling from Austria to Barcelona for pre-season testing, Jake Boxall-Legge jumps into the podcast today to run through Autosport’s first impressions on the Alfa Romeo, the ‘new’ team Alpha Tauri and Williams. We also saw a Racing Point car earlier today but it was little more than a livery launch so we’ll wait to see the car shakedown before we see their direction for 2020.

The W11 that Mercedes unveiled on Friday morning looks distinctly similar to last year’s title-winning W10. Even if its new challenger does carry over developments from the end of 2019, that leaves Mercedes well placed to pick up where it left off Autosport’s Technical Editor Jake Boxall-Legge is joined by Ben Anderson to discuss why Mercedes-AMG remains favourites.
