The race is on, and over the past week we've seen Charles LeClerc

driving the 2020 Ferrari around Marinello and Racing Point and Renault back in action,

as this unusual attempt at a second pre-season pots up.

But what should we expect from Ferrari once the season starts?

And how worried should we be that another F-Bond team in McLaren potentially needs to sell a stake

amid the ongoing financial pressures? I'm Ed's draw, and joining me to get excited about the

upcoming new season today on Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell. Mark, how are you feeling about

the fact that you're now less than two weeks away from

the season?

Presumably you're riding your bike around at double speed given the rising excitement.

Yes, getting ever more excited as it gets closer and closer.

It actually seems impossible that it can be just a couple of weeks from now because

we've been without it for it feels like years but

yeah yeah riding a bike even faster or got caught out in a thunderstorm the other day on that but

yeah it's it's it's tangible now isn't it it's it's coming um which is great it's strange isn't it

it'll go from a point where we thought the season would never get underway in this period of lockdown and nothing happening would never end. And then in a couple of months' time, we're going to be 10-odd races down as we route through the season. So, yeah, it's going to be quite the dramatic change. Scott, big weekend for you in Sweden. Yeah, it is. It's midsummer, which is a big celebration over here.

So much like they do at Christmas, the Swedes do it slightly weirdly.

They have a day dedicated to something, but they do all the celebration of it on the day before.

So midsummer's Eve, same as Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day is not, they don't really

care about that over here. Christmas Eve is the big one. Well, I saw the film midsummer last year,

I think. So I'm slightly suspicious about whether you'll, whether you'll last the distance.
