Fernando Alonso

If Mercedes wants someone capable of driving on Hamilton's level, with a name that resonates around the world and a couple of world championship trophies to prove those credentials, Wolff need look no further than Alonso.

But as the latter races showed, if they could manage the tyres, the core components of the car remained fast. So, if the Scuderia have managed to get on top of their tyre problems under race fuel loads, they could well find themselves in a much better position going into 2024.

After moments in testing, practice and qualifying that hinted the chasing pack might have closed on Red Bull a touch, Max Verstappen dominated the 2024 Formula 1 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix with ease.

Max will win easy but with less wins. Another great season for Max and Red Bull, and given that the season will have more races, he will set new records. Checo's fate will depend on a combination of his performance, and the amount of challenge the other teams offer Max.
