F1 2018: Assessing each team's chances in the new season 

Red Bull will look to be title contenders

Red Bull

Unlike last year, Red Bull is expected to be on the pace right from the first race. Red Bull is itching to win more races and the RB 14 designed by Adrian Newey should be fast off the blocks. Both Renault and McLaren see them as the benchmark and rightly so, as they have has the most aerodynamically efficient car for most of the last decade.

With the most talented driver pairing, if Red Bull start winning regularly, both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo will be winning. Which means they will be in the driver's title hunt, which means more drama and tension in the team. What a tantalizing prospect!
