The race is on, and Hasse returnee, Kevin Magnerson celebrated his return to the F1 cockpit

0:12.1

by topping the second day of testing in Bahrain. But with just one day of running left,

0:17.5

are we any closer to knowing the competitive order? I'm Ed Straw and joining me

0:22.1

to answer that question and many more are Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes. Well, Magnuson's

0:29.2
