Testing trackside verdicts with an ex-Formula 1 driver
How is the 2020 field shaping up? Ex-Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports pundit Karun Chandhok talks us through his trackside findings from Barcelona
Every year I go to pre-season testing and enjoy a couple of days of watching the new cars in action. It's interesting to see the cars live and there are always subtle nuances that you can pick up with a trained eye that you can't really see on television.
With testing now being repeated annually at the Circuit de Catalunya, I've also now got my favourite watching spots, which I go back to year after year because it gives me a good reference to see how things have changed from the previous season, as well as contrasting the cars relative to each other.
