The race is on, and Ferrari's Charlotte Clerk set the pace on the second day of pre-season testing in Barcelona, despite driving a car that look very lively on the streets.

But with teams still getting a handle on these new cars, and the spread of times very similar to day one,

what do we know about the competitive order and just how bad is the porpoising problem?

I'm Ed Straw and joining me to reveal all are Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes.

Just a very quick summary before we get into the chat in detail.

A dry day of running again in Barcelona.

16 of the 20 race drivers in action.

Only Vastappen, Norris, Alonzo and Sonoda had a day off.

Ferrari set the pace with Leclerc, putting in a time of 1 minute 19.689 seconds using the C3 Pirelli's.

That was actually just over a tenth of a second, slower than Lando Norris's fastest time from yesterday.

Alpha Tauri, second fastest with Pierre Gazley, 0.229 seconds off.

Ricardo for McLaren, third fastest, 0.599 off,

both of those two on the C-4.

So, Mark, we'll start with you.

Even for day two of testing,

where we don't expect many answers to be given,

things are still quite amorphous, aren't they, in terms of performance and lap times?

Yeah, it's pretty much like yesterday, as you said, and I guess that's just a reflection of the newness of everything.

They've got bigger problems than usual to solve and they're, you know, it's usually as they hone in on the solutions that you start

seeing the pattern forming and I think we're still a long way from that at the moment. So yeah,

it looks pretty much as it did yesterday. And of course we're doing daily testing podcast. Again, we're in our hotel, so you might hear a few lobby noises in the background. But Gary Anderson, you did have a look at the cars on track today, as we promised yesterday. Before we get on to that, what do you make of the lap times? Is that anything meaningful to divine from them? Again, it's very difficult. You know,

you're talking there about Charles Clerk's lap 79.6. I mean, he did that on a 17-lap run. He
