Verstappen dominated the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix f🃏rom pole position as Red Bull stormed to their first 1-2 fꦍinish since the 2023 Italian Grand Prix.

While Verstappen is the heavy favourite to take the title - and his fourth in F1 - the꧟ battle behind him looks tough to call.

♐Ferrari had the second-fastest car in Bahrain, and were within touching distance of beating Perez, while Mercedes and McLaren had more difficult🦹 weekends.

Mercedes struggled with an overheating power unit, while McLaren are expecte𒊎d to fare bett💫er on high-speed circuits.

Ahead of the weekend, Verstappen was asked for his😼 top three drivers’ championship predictions.

Interestingly, he omitted teammate Perez from it.

“Me, then Lewis, and then Charles,” he said in a Q&A preview for th♌e season with Viaplay.

Verstappen named Lando꧙ Norris as one driver who will win a r✱ace in 2024.

“Well for sure I hope I do,” he added. “But w𒐪e won’t write that down. I think I’ll go for someone that hasn’t won one yet… Lando!”

The Dutchman was also modest when it came to how many races he will𒁃 win this year.

Vers🎃tappen took 𓂃a remarkable 19 victories in 2024 - an F1 record.

He thinks h🍎e wilꦑl only win 12 in 2024, but looking at the first race, it should be a lot more than that.

“Twelve,” he said. “If it becom﷽es more I can always say I did a better job.”

Finally, Verstappen also tipped his for🌄mer team - now rebranded as Visa Casꦐh App RB - for a surprise podium appearance.

“How are we going to call the team…🍸 Visa Cash App RB, they’ll get a podium,” he added.
