F1 is back! Will Max Verstappen continue his top form? Will Lewis Hamilton be back to challenge him once again for the Championship title?  
Join Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman in another podcast episode, looking at F1, Moto GP, Indycar and more!  
We've had testing this weekend out in Bahrain, and all of the controversy has revolved around the side-pods (or lack of) on the Mercedes F1 car! The car came out at testing with a very unusual design, which caused a lot of fuss from rival Red Bull Team principal, Christian Horner.   
Both George Russell and Lewis Hamilton were particularly slow in testing, but then testing is never a good indication of how the season will go! The cars appear to be faster however, with a new lap record set in testing.   
The news of the week was Nikita Mazepin's replacement at Haas, which is Kevin Magnussen, who became the fastest driver on day 2 of testing! Daniel Ricciardo has unfortunately caught Covid, so could there be another driver temporarily replacing him? We want Oscar Piastri in Formula 1!   
Who do you think will be fastest this year? Let us know in the comments!  
F2 and F3 had their testing too, with New Zealand driver, Liam Lawson and Norweigan driver Dennis Hauger looking the fastest on the grid.  Sadly, racing legend Vic Elford passed away this week too at 86. He won the Monte Carlo rally, the Daytona 24H and had a big career in Formula 1!  
NASCAR were racing last weekend at Phoenix, with cars seven abreast during the race!  
Next weekend, we have lots of action, from Formula 3, to Indycar at Texas Speedway and the WEC at Sebring! The Moto GP is back too, out in Indonesia. NASCAR are out in Manta Speedway too!
