New season kicks off in earnest today. Hard to see past another Verstappen procession to the title this season. Red Bull still look like they have a couple of tenths on their nearest rivals looking at Checo's times. Ferrari, with a new set up under Frederic Vasseur will be looking to cut out strategy mistakes, still look the closest rivals. Mercedes are closer than this time last year but still not likely to be competing for wins yet on pure pace. Aston Martin with Alonso looks to be up there as well which might provide some excitement if he mixes it with the big teams.
The midfield look as tight as ever although McLaren will be disappointed to not be at the head with Aston Martin. It will be interesting to see how long the truce between Ocon and Gasly lasts at Alpine. Haas and Alfa Romeo both look more competitive this season and will be looking for good points.
The rear looks like it consists of Williams and Alpha Touri. However the spread of the field this year does look to be tighter from front to back. Early signs maybe that the regulations might be having an affect along with the natural settling down of new regs last season.
I do hope Ferrari and Mercedes can make gains and catch RB up to have a competitive season at the front as you know Perez won't challenge Verstappen. I do doubt that happening though.
