Max Verstappen in the lead ahead of Sergio Perez… Follow the Bahrain Grand Prix

Max Verstappen on his way to a hat-trick? After a 2022 opus lacking in suspense in the fight for the title, but rich in lessons on the new regulations in force, the ten teams on the board are once again at the start of the Formula 1 world championship, Sunday March 5. It was in Bahrain that hostilities began and there was great expectation to see which of Ferrari or Mercedes would be able to cast doubt on the ogre of the field: Red Bull.

At the dawn of this new campaign, there are many questions. It will be necessary to follow with an informed eye the first outing of the French pair Esteban Ocon-Pierre Gasly in the colors of Alpine, the debuts as titular pilots of Oscar Piastri (McLaren), Nyck de Vries (Alpha Tauri) and Logan Sargeant (Williams) or the performances of Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) or George Russell (Mercedes), who will want to show that they too have the makings of leaders.
