[HIGHLIGHTS] The paradox of Formula 1: everyone knows that Max Verstappen will win and only the countdown matters to see Lewis Hamilton dressed in red in 2025

Formula 1 season kicks off with Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday. Max Verstappen will win his fourth consecutive title and will join Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel on the list of winners.

Nine teams know for one more year that they will race to see Red Bull win. Shanghai and Miami were added to Sao Paulo, Spielberg, Lusail and Austin as Sprint race venues.. Nineteen drivers will compete to see if they can win a Grand Prix from VerstAppen: in 2023 only Sergio Pérez and Carlos Sainz could do so.
