After an utterly dominant campaign last year, Max Verstappen picked up where he left off as he claimed victory in Bahrain to kickstart the 2024 Formula 1 season.

Sergio Perez’s excellent drive ensured Red Bull’s first one-two of the season, further demonstrating their expected dominance for the rest of the season. 

It was a repeat performance in Jeddah, Verstappen qualifying on pole position for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and largely dominating from start to finish despite a brief spell in first for Lando Norris behind a safety car. Perez took second after an early battle with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

There was a shake-up in Melbourne, though, with Verstappen and Hamilton retiring early. Sainz went on to win, securing a Ferrari one-two alongside Charles Leclerc. Lando Norris rounded out the podium.

However, Verstappen returned to the top of the podium in Japan, winning from pole for the 30th time in his career, before claiming back-to-back wins in China.
