Vs. Hamilton: Who will be the king of the new Formula 1 season?

Bahrain, Bahrain - Max Verstappen starts the new Formula 1 season full of expectations. In addition to the upcoming birth of his child, the three -time champion remains calm and follows the race with a new vigor. During the test drives in Bahrain, he already demonstrated his dominance. The season begins on March 16 in Melbourne and already promises high voltage, especially since the record world champion Lewis Hamilton, now driving for Ferrari, is prepared for a new title attack. This is a significant change, since many expect Hamilton, who switched from Mercedes to Ferrari, to help the team to end the dry spell that they have suffered in recent years. These developments were highlighted by [kosmo.at].

Hamilton's new way at Ferrari

Christian Horner, team boss of Red Bull Racing, expressed optimistic opportunities about Hamilton's chances when he said that a lot depends on how well he fits into the Ferrari team. Hamilton had intensive duels against Verstappen in the past, which could make him a serious challenger if he quickly got used to the SF-25 car. "If he puts a good start and the team has behind him, he could really become a factor in the title fight," said Horner. Verstappen also confirmed that Hamilton's success depends heavily on the car, which shapes the strategic considerations for the coming season, reported [Planetf1.com].

The competition is strong: McLaren is traded as a serious challenger, and the exciting triple races in the USA - Miami, Austin and Las Vegas - are caused a lot of excitement. Mercedes also has a new line-up with George Russell in a leading role and 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who occupies Hamilton's place. The rules of the standard that are planned for 2026 will also have a lasting impact on the competitive situation in Formula 1. Fans can look forward to 24 Grands Prix, whereby the tension can be felt in the preparation phase.
