After a disrupted winter test, the 2018 Formula 1 season starts with a sense that everyone is heading into one big unknown.
Will it be Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel that takes their fifth title this year? Or could it be one of the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen or Daniel Ricciardo? Or perhaps Valtteri Bottas could spring a surprise?
There are a number of sleeping giants with a point to prove. McLaren has nowhere to hide, Renault enjoyed its best pre-season of the hybrid era while Williams heads into 2018 with an all-rookie line-up.
