The Big Questions

The latest Formula 1 machines will hit the track in the coming weeks. TV pundit and ex-F1 racer Karun Chandhok tackles the key issues ahead of the new season.

CAN RED BULL MAKE A BETTER START?
Towards the end of 2017, Red Bull made it a three-way fight at the front. Max Verstappen took two wins on merit and the team left us with a feeling of ‘what might have been’. The first half of its season was compromised by an aerodynamic correlation issue, which meant that it really took until the summer break for the team to hit its stride and unlock the potential of the RB13. Those issues seemed to have been caused by the change in regulations, with the bigger tyres and cars giving some false information in the wind-tunnel, but Red Bull should be over that now.
Personally, I don’t doubt that the Milton Keynes side of the team can hit the ground running in 2018. It still has the combined brain power of brilliant people like Adrian Newey, Rob Marshall and Paul Monaghan. Operationally it does a very good job at the track and is never afraid to make bold strategic calls, which often works out well for the team as a collective, even if it’s sometimes detrimental to one of the drivers on the day.
The most important thing for the team is that Renault is able to deliver a powerplant that’s a bit of a step forward in terms of performance, but crucially also a huge leap forward in terms of reliability. Last year there were too many weekends where Daniel Ricciardo and Verstappen were in contention for a good haul of points or a podium and the car broke down. When you combine that with the reliability woes that the Enstone squad and Toro Rosso had, it really showed that the engine people at Viry-Chatillon needed to sort it out.

Vettel Proves Ferrari Is Back
FORMULA 1'S NEW ERA IS ALL ABOUT BIGGER CARS, WIDER TYRES, MORE downforce, and greater performance than ever before. But this category remains one defined by small margins, and ultimately it was minor details that meant Ferrari rather than Mercedes went home victorious from the first grand prix of 2017.
