The smoke and mirrors will finally dissipate this weekend as Formula 1 teams show their full hand at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The first race of a Formula 1 season generally carries more intrigue than following instalments due to the sheer mystery of it all.

Red Bull enjoyed an excellent testing period, with reports suggesting their car has plenty more to give and that Max Verstappen’s team kept a few shackles on their machine to keep opponents guessing their true pace.

Ferrari also experienced a very positive testing period, with the iconic Italian constructor likely to be the closest team to challenge Red Bull for honours in 2024.

This opening blast around the desert of Sakhir will offer teams plenty more data to scrape and give an idea of what to expect in 2024 for the legions of fans gearing up for another high-octane year of elite motorsport.
