We’re back to process the inaugural race of 2024 season, the Bahrain GP. This was the race where we all get to stop speculating, the sand bags fall off, the engines get turned up, and we arguably figure out what the pecking order for the first part of the season will be. Turns out, not so different from the end of 2023. How big will the gap to RBR be this year?

Ferrari, Mercedes and Williams all had mechanical issues. Stake had pit stop issues. Visa Cash Grab Racing App Bulls had strategy issues. And Max was on auto-pilot.

Sigh. Let's break it down.

Strap in for a turbocharged tour of the F1 grid as we forecast who's set to dominate the Constructors' Championship and shake up the driver standings. We're placing our bets on Red Bull leading the charge, but with Ferrari revving up for a challenge and the Mercedes-McLaren rivalry firing up, the podium's anyone's game. And don't forget, the drama extends beyond the top contenders - with Aston Martin's Alonso and the enigmatic Visa Cash Grab team, the chase for glory is more electrifying than ever.

Join us as we make bold, cynical and sometimes absurd predictions about which teams and which drivers will stand proud 24 race weekends from now.

We're back to break down pre-season testing. Will it be status quo for 2024? We look for signs of forward momentum and ponder which teams may be struggling in Bahrain and beyond.
