It’s the start of a new F1 season as the engines start revving in Bahrain. With the biggest design changes in a generation, how will the field be shaken up by the new cars?
Based on pre-season testing and practice sessions, it does appear that Mercedes are struggling to tame their ‘porpoising’ car with Red Bull and Ferrari leading the way.
The rule changes have been designed to tighten up the field, improve overtaking and shake things up. The driver who finished first last season isn’t guaranteed to do so this year, thought it’d be a brave person who bets against Max Verstappen having another title tilt. And the team that finished plum last might spring a surprise or two.
We’re hoping the reinstatement of ground effect design will lead to closer racing, and the new 18-inch tyres from Pirelli will allow drivers to push harder for longer. By the time the weekend is done and dusted in the Bahrain sand, we’ll have a better idea of whether this new formula will be a success.
