The 2024 Formula 1 season appears to be picking up where it left off, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen dominating the field by a large margin. The reigning Drivers' World Champion looks to be in a good position to extend his winning streak to four titles in a row, but there is always the caveat that many things can happen from now until the end of the season. On top of that, Red Bull is also dealing with an internal issue concerning team principal Christian Horner.
The flying Dutchman was 1.14 seconds ahead of any other driver throughout the first day of pre-season testing held at the Bahrain International Circuit on Wednesday. He was followed by McLaren driver Lando Norris who came in second place. Scuderia Ferrari's Carlos Sainz sat in third place, a further 0.1secs behind Norris.
