“Particularly with a clean sheet of paper with these brand new cars, it’s a complete reset. It’s arguably the biggest regulation change in the last 40 years, but I’m sure the intensity of the rivalry between the teams and the drivers will be as pertinent as ever,” Christian added.

Remarkably, even after their intense fight last season, both teams are still in a dominant position. It would be interesting to see if Red Bull are in the championship fight again. And it would surely be a pleasure for the fans to see the Bulls target the constructors’ title, alongside the driver’s title, as well.

The team definitely would have a fight in their hands, as Ferrari and McLaren could join them at the front. Hopefully, the 2022 season can live up to its expectation and deliver the close racing that it promises.
