Is Red Bull's Bahrain domination a portent of things to come?
7 maart 2023 · 24 min
With pre-season testing completed, attention soon turned to the first race of the 2023 Formula 1 season at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday. Lees meer
And while many F1 fans may have looked at the start of a new season as reason enough to be hopeful of a close championship fight, there was a depressingly familiar look to proceedings once the race settled down.
Ferrari struggled with reliability, Mercedes were short on outright pace, and there was a typically dominant performance from Red Bull, who locked out the front row and then completed a comfortable 1-2 finish in the race, with Max Verstappen leading home Sergio Perez.
But will Red Bull's pre-eminence in the desert set the tone for the rest of the season, or do the unique characteristics of the Bahrain International Circuit make this result an outlier?
Joining Michael Butterworth to pick over the bones of the season's first race is Dieter Rencken, Editorial Director of RacingNews365.com.
With Fernando Alonso finishing an impressive third for Aston Martin, where do his new team measure up this year?

Is F1 set for more FIA conflict in 2023?
20 februari 2023 · 29 min
The interminable winter break is almost over, and F1 engines will roar in anger for the first time in 2023 at this week's three-day pre-season test in Bahrain. Lees meer
But while there may have been no on-track F1 action since Max Verstappen eased to victory in Abu Dhabi last November, there has certainly been no shortage of off-track mud-slinging and intrigue to pique the interest of F1 fans the world over.
Joining Michael Butterworth to discuss the sport's various political machinations over the winter break is Dieter Rencken, Editorial Director of RacingNews365.com.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem lately announced that he would be stepping back from day-to-day involvement in F1. With plenty of public criticism having come his way since his accession to the presidency in December 2021, is there a concerted effort from within F1 to force him out of his role?
Several key F1 figures also made known their displeasure at the FIA's decision to ban political, religious and personal statements without prior approval. With the FIA having moved to clarify that the offending article would do no such thing, did pressure from drivers and team bosses force the governing body to change its stance?
One of the biggest announcements during pre-season was that Ford are set to return to F1 in 2026 in partnership with Red Bull. But why has the drinks-backed squad elected to team up with Ford instead of Porsche or Audi, as was mooted last year?
With an unusually large amount of unpainted black bodywork on show from the teams this season, will saving weight be as much of an issue as it was in 2022?
And with Frederic Vasseur having taken over the hot seat at Ferrari, how will the Frenchman fare in his new role with the Scuderia?

F1's tech breakthrough and political firestorms
20 december 2022 · 41 min
In a special edition of the RacingNews365.com F1 podcast, journalists Dieter Rencken and Michael Butterworth take a deep dive into the 2022 F1 season and the key issues that emerged from it. Lees meer
The first year of a new era of technical regulations saw F1 cars look vastly different in 2022 from those that had gone before. Did the new rules succeed in tightening up the field and producing closer racing?
2022 was the first season where teams were audited under F1's budget cap, and with Red Bull having been found guilty of overspending, was their punishment a fair one?
With F1 seeing record crowds throughout 2022, how do the sport's commercial prospects look?
And having come into the role off the back of the controversial ending to the 2021 F1 season, how should Mohammed Ben Sulayem's first year as FIA President be evaluated?
