The new Formula 1 season has arrived with a fresh line-up of drivers and teams raring to go in 2022.<\/p>\n
Last season saw a radical merry-go-round of talent, but 2022 has been a muted affair with only one F1 debutant and three existing drivers landing in different slots.<\/p>\n
All eyes will be on Mercedes to begin the season as it readies its all-British line-up in a bid to strike back at Red Bull.<\/p>\n
George Russell has impressed in a couple of stand-in appearances for Mercedes, and now he has the chance to challenge compatriot Lewis Hamilton in a like-for-like car.<\/p>\n
Reigning champion Max Verstappen returns in his Red Bull supported by Sergio Perez, who made a heroic intervention in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to hold up Hamilton and buy time for the Dutch superstar.<\/p>\n
