Any of 4 teams can win this. Not sure where the overwhelming belief is for Mclaren. Red Bull were good towards end of last year, so expecting them to still be in the fight.

Basically, no idea. But expect it to be tight, and wouldn't be shocked with a Hamilton pole
I honestly would be, just given Leclerc's experience and pace.

Remind me please, do the teams still have to do a show and tell on Friday morning and describe their developments in the FIA document?

Or because they are all new cars and are at the first race of the season- they will put the cars on display Friday morning and the document will state that there are ‘no changes’

Last year, the bahrain race weekend had documents showing all of the cars' changes since end of 2023. There's no guarantee it'll be run exactly the same again, though

He struggled a lot in qualifying last year

Т6-7 chicane modified with a return of full-width gravel trap to help prevent accidents. Drivers won't be able to take too many risks on T6 exit, but we can expect T7 will remain flat-out

Yes.

I’m always surprised that they don’t just race on Saturday when we know there will be a storm on Sunday.
