Aston Martin, spearheaded by two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, were the success story of last week’s pre-season test and look to have leapfrogged to the front of the midfield – and maybe even further. Conversation therefore turns to the teammates – and tension which boiled over in Brazil last year, when Verstappen disobeyed team orders by refusing to let Perez pass. But Hamilton – who finished 33 points behind his 13 years junior last year – doesn’t like coming second overall, let alone in his own garage. McLaren are a fan favourite due to their rich history and heritage but – having not won a drivers title since Lewis Hamilton’s first in 2008 – they don’t look a whole lot closer this year, having come home fifth last season.
