Driving for one of the most successful F1 teams in recent years, Hamilton has dominated the Drivers’ Championship rankings and he should make a strong start to the F1 calendar.

Motorsport teams will want to find out how durable their car is and how the F1 schedule may impact each team for the entire campaign.
It won’t be long before we hear ‘Lights out and away we go’ now – though F1 fans will have to make do with playing Formula 1 video games for the time being.
