Now it is without a doubt that Red Bull's new recruit Pierre Gasly is going to be an outsider in this year's drivers' championship. But the Frenchman will also, without doubt, be determined to get the ground running when he debuts for Red Bull at next month's Australian Grand Prix.

Who would have thought Gasly would be at Red Bull because of Daniel Ricciardo shocking the F1 community by saying no to a contract extension before leaving the team.

Well... here we are.

Max Verstappen is expected to be Red Bull's priority when it comes down to the championship battle. But it's a big if for Red Bull competing in the driver's championship as they have struggled since the glory days of Sebastian Vettel.

The two young determined drivers of Verstappen and Gasly could be a very exciting prospect.
