This GP will kickstart the F1 Championship's new season.

Just like the previous year, Bahrain GP will act as the season opener of the new season of Formula 1(F1). The recently concluded testings have pictured it a bit but nothing can be drawn without the first few rounds, especially the first race.

Max Verstappen won it last season after a dominating display over the year. He registered a record 15 wins in a season. Record because it is the highest for any driver in any Formula 1 season. Ferrari and Charles Leclerc started strong but they gave up the chase after a while. Mercedes had a lot of questions to answer.

The new season might see a bit of reshuffling. The Red Bulls have looked quicker than ever but the biggest talking point of the Bahrain testing was Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin. Expectations have raised.
