Formula 1 starts earlier than usual because the longest season in the history of the racing series is coming up. Teams and drivers have to complete 24 races. The start will take place in Bahrain, where qualifying will take place on Friday and the first Grand Prix on Saturday. Due to the beginning of the fasting month of Ramadan, the race was brought forward one day, the same applies to the second Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia. The big favorite for the title is world champion Max Verstappen. The great dominator and his Red Bull team are the measure of all things in Formula 1. Nobody can say what role the scandal surrounding Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, who is said to have behaved inappropriately towards an employee, will play. The story is unlikely to have any impact on sport at first. It would be different if Horner resigned under pressure from Formula 1 management, the world motorsport association FIA and the public. The restlessness seems to roll off Max Verstappen, at least that is the impression he tries to convey to the outside world. We present its most promising competitors.
