Fear not, Formula 1 fans – there could still be a title race this year despite how dominant Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team were in Bahrain.
That is the perhaps slightly hopeful view of Emerson Fittipaldi, who knows a thing or two about winning himself. The Brazilian has as many F1 drivers' titles to his name as Verstappen – though the early signs indicate that the Dutchman might be one ahead by the end of this season.
Everyone knew the Red Bull cars would be the ones to beat, but their performance advantage was even greater than their rivals feared. Verstappen crossed the finish line 38 seconds up the road from the nearest car which didn't have Red Bull logos on it, and that was with him spending half of the race just cruising rather than pushing.
