There’s been plenty of talk that the 2021 Formula 1 season could be a copy-and-paste of the 2020 pecking order courtesy of a pandemic-inspired regulation that requires significant carryover of car parts from last year to this.
However, there are small amendments that could make the world of difference. Check out this video.
If you watched Drive to Survive, there is more reason for to you have an early dip ahead of the 2021 season.
Driver Championship
Lewis Hamilton
It’s hard to look past Hamilton in the Mercedes once again this season. He will be looking for a record eight Driver’s Championship so he won’t be short on motivation.
Max Verstappen
Red Bull and Max Verstappen ended 2020 with momentum on their side after victory in Abu Dhabi. There is pressure on the team to produce a car capable of taking on Mercedes considering Verstappen is the hottest property in Formula 1. Verstappen might be a great value bet for the season.
Constructors Championship
Mercedes
They have one of the greatest drivers and the most formidable car on the grid. Like Hamilton in the Driver’s Championship, it’s hard to look past Mercedes winning yet another Constructor’s Title.
Red Bull
Red Bull could actually be a great bet considering their car should be competitive and they have two drivers who will push the Mercedes in Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
