Max Verstappen vs Lewis Hamilton as Formula One soap opera returns with an all-new package
Formula One season is about more than just the renewed battle between reigning champion Max Verstappen and the man he dethroned, Lewis Hamilton. It will be a heavily-revised version of F1's high-speed soap opera, featuring new race management, all-new cars designed to create closer racing, and a reshuffled cast that will launch into the unknown at this weekend's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. Fourteen weeks after the sour, contrived and controversial last-lap drama in Abu Dhabi that ended Hamilton's four-year reign as champion and ushered Verstappen to a first title crown, the curtain rises on a 'revolutionary' new show featuring the most sweeping technical rule changes in 40 years. The return of 'ground effect' aerodynamics for the first time since 1983 with much bigger wheels and fatter tyres, a freeze on power unit development and a tighter budget cap, down to 140 million dollars (127.4 million euros) excluding drivers' salaries, may throw up arguments and shocks. But below the surface, away from the gleaming visible alterations and the uncertainties brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, mounting inflation and a European war, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the human drama will remain unchanged -- at least for now.
