#1 Max Verstappen - Red Bull
Another name in the new generation of F1 drivers that many expect to one day win a world championship. Maybe the taste of a first world championship could be coming this year?
Max Verstappen is going into his third full season with Red Bull after joining the team in 2016 to replace Daniil Kvyat. But this will be his first season at Red Bull without his good friend Daniel Ricciardo.
A majority of the races in 2018 showed that Verstappen was the team's priority especially after Ricciardo announced his departure for Renault.
We saw some cracking drives from the Dutchman in 2018 especially in the second part of the season by securing consistent podium finishes to help forget some of the disastrous races he had at the start of the season.
If the car looks to be competitive at the front, then Verstappen has a shout.
