The key talking points from F1 pre-season testing Day 2

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt return to report from Day 2 of F1’s 2025 test at the Bahrain International Circuit.

In the review, Alex mentions the three teams that impressed him most, featuring McLaren’s eye-catching long-run pace, Aston Martin’s newfound consistency across the day, and Williams topping the lap and timing sheets via Carlos Sainz.

There’s also a reaction to Max Verstappen’s response to the booing he faced at F175 Live, where Red Bull stood as a team on Day 2, and the teams’ lack of preparation when the rain fell on Thursday morning.
