Max Verstappen got his title defence off to a flying start in Bahrain, leading a comfortable Red Bull one-two finish as he attempts to win a third successive championship in a row.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last year saw a tight battle between Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, and it would be a welcome thing were it to happen again in 2023. That, though, relies on Ferrari getting their act together.

But can a resurgent Aston Martin spring another surprise with another strong performance?
