We shall know the outcome of the first Grand Prix of the season in Bahrain by this time next week. Red Bull star Max Verstappen is the clear favourite to win and have a strong start to his 2024 title defence as he has won four consecutive Drivers’ Championships.
Although using the extremely speedy C4 compound tyres, Ferrari had the fastest lap times during pre-season testing, and Carlos Sainz will be eager to impress the Scuderia before Lewis Hamilton takes over as driver in 2025.
Mercedes, McLaren, and Aston Martin will also try to catch up to Red Bull faster than they did in the previous season, when Christian Horner and company dominated the opposition.
