The Formula 1 season is all set to kickstart its season in Bahrain for the 4th successive year as the excitement remains at its highest. The main race will get underway on Saturday at the Bahrain International Circuit. It will also be the first time in Formula 1 that all 20 drivers from the previous year's grid will be clubbed with their same teams for the forthcoming season.
Max Verstappen will be the defending champion, having emerged victorious comfortably in the 57-lap race. He finished 11.9 seconds ahead of Sergio Perez, who came 2nd in the race. One of the biggest developments before the Formula 1 season came relating to Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion announced that he will end his association with Mercedes following the season and switch to Ferrari for the 2025 edition.
Verstappen is tipped to start as a favourite again, with Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, George Russell, and Hamilton also genuine contenders. Should Verstappen emerge triumphant, it will be the 26-year-old's 2nd consecutive Baharain Grand Prix title.
