So its not like I have to reinvent myself or go and find extra motivation from thin air, its just there, thankfully.For sure, the competition is going to be stronger than ever this year and I have to make sure Im stronger than ever so that I can face whatever is thrown at me.The Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.
