It was an F1 takeover on Sky Sports News as four of Sky F1's finest - Ted Kravitz, Johnny Herbert, Anthony Davidson and Martin Brundle - explained and assessed all the major talking points swirling around the sport heading into the 2014 season.

Anthony Davidson - The young guns

Two exciting reigning champions from the junior ranks, Kevin Magnussen and Daniil Kvyat, make the steps up to F1 this year while 24-year-old Daniel Ricciardo takes on the challenge of being team-mate to Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull. Anthony Davidson thinks there are no question marks over either of Magnussen or Ricciardo's fundamental speed, but both have much to prove. On McLaren rookie Magnussen: "I've raced with his dad, Jan, in sportscars and if he's anything as good as him we're going to be in for a great show. I think he's going to give Jenson Button in the sister car a good run for his money. You've always got to give a rookie half a season before you really start judging them, but I think come the end of the day he's going to be right up there speed-wise." And as for Ricciardo: "He's going to be in one of the best cars out there but up against a very strong team-mate in the quadruple World Champion Sebastian Vettel. But it's a different scenario because he has the experience. He's proven his speed in qualifying already in Toro Rosso so I expect great things from him in speed alone. But how does he cope with the pressure of having that constant pounding from such a good team-mate?" The Sky Sports F1 Online team will be providing live commentary of all three winter tests, starting in Jerez on Tuesday January 28, with live updates from trackside also on Sky Sports News.
