As far as title defences go, Red Bull couldn't have hoped for a much more dominant start to 2023 than their one-two finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
However, Damon Hill has predicted Formula 1's incumbent kings will be pushed closer to their limit in Sunday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The track layout in particular could give Ferrari a fine chance of capitalising on any speed advantages in the straights, having been unable to match Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in the opener.
“It’s going to be different [to Bahrain]," said the 1996 F1 world champion during a recent appearance on the F1 Nation podcast. “We’re going to realise Ferrari have got pace, they have got the ability to race and they’ll be all over the back of the Red Bulls with the DRS zones and everything. It’s going to be great."
