Red Bull has blood in its eye after Max Verstappen had to retire in Australia, while Mexico’s Sergio “Checo” Perez finished fifth. It was Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. of Spain who took the win.\u00a0

There is no doubt that Verstappen is the top favorite to celebrate the victory. Not only because he is the current three-time champion of the category, but also because he is the leader of the current season with his victories in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.\u00a0

If there is one thing the Dutchman has shown is that when he comes from a bad day, he improves his performance to keep his competitors at bay.\u00a0Another fact in Max’s favor is that he celebrated at this circuit in 2022 and 2023.\u00a0<\/strong>

On the other hand, there is his teammate, Checo Perez, who is looking for his first Grand Prix <\/a>of the year, after being second in the first two races and fifth in the last one.\u00a0He is currently third in the drivers’ standings, five points behind his teammate.\u00a0<\/strong>The Mexican in 2022 had his best participation in Suzuka when he finished on the second step of the podium. Last year he retired and before that, he had not finished higher than seventh place.\u00a0

Perez has shown over the years that his experience is enough to take him into account in the positions that deliver points, but since he arrived at Red Bull he has had that debt to beat Verstappen to fight for the world title. Succeeding in the land of the rising sun may be crucial for this to be his year.\u00a0

After the two Red Bull drivers, we have to talk about the two Ferrari, especially Sainz, who has been the only driver other than Verstappen to win this season.\u00a0The Spaniard is getting the best performance out of his car and is not higher in the standings because, in the second race of the campaign, he was unable to score points.\u00a0<\/strong>In 2023 he achieved his second best participation in Japan, finishing sixth. In 2019 he finished fifth.\u00a0

Then there is the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, who currently escorts Verstappen in the standings.\u00a0This year, he has been fourth, third, and second, so the first place in a Grand Prix could be a matter of time.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lando Norris is looking for redemption after 2023 when he could not stand out with McLaren. The good news for the Briton is that he comes from finishing on the podium last race. His teammate Oscar Piastri is also playing an interesting role, scoring points in all his starts.\u00a0

Finally, we must mention the case of Mercedes, which is experiencing a disappointing start to the season. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton do not know what a podium is this year, in Australia the former crossed the finish line in 17th place and the seven-time F1 champion had to retire.\u00a0

Unless they quickly change the performance of their cars, the year (the last one of Hamilton in this Scuderia) looks bad for the most dominant team of the 21st century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
