Catch up with all the FP1 and 2 action in today's F1 Digest.

It's understandable that the drivers confidence might not be as sky high as you would expect but just lately, they seem to have been very downbeat about this whole racing business. It's a surprise, particularly going into Bahrain, where Massa tends to do well, and the team have testing experience in the desert as well. I can only imagine what Rob is saying to his young ward right now. In fact, I did imagine what he was saying, and I formed into a little ditty that you might care to listen to.

It may not have been as spectacular as those we have already seen, but there was plenty of strategy and racing to be seen.

The possibility of a sandstorm still looms, but we're hoping it doesn't come to that.

Ferrari are having a miserable time and aren't afraid to tell us about it. Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:08:00 +0100 09:08 F1 Digest http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/23/f1-digest-2009-bahrain-preview/ http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/23/f1-digest-2009-bahrain-preview/ http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/23/f1-digest-2009-bahrain-preview/#comments http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/23/f1-digest-2009-bahrain-preview/feed/ We're heading off into the desert for a race that splits opinion - amongst the paddock people at least. Some like it's curves, others would rather move on to another circuit. Let's hope the racing is up to scratch. Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:08:00 +0100 08:21 F1 Digest http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/22/sidepodchat-of-people-parks-and-picnics/ http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/22/sidepodchat-of-people-parks-and-picnics/ http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/22/sidepodchat-of-people-parks-and-picnics/#comments http://www.sidepodcast.com/2009/04/22/sidepodchat-of-people-parks-and-picnics/feed/ A quick glimpse of the thoughts on our minds as those who attended the Science Museum meet up in London kindly agreed to stream a live Sidepodchat... of sorts.
