It’s race week! The 2020 Formula 1 season kicks off this weekend at the Australian Grand Prix. The teams are all getting ready and in this article, we will keep you up to date with all the team’s preparations. 

Alfa Romeo Racing

Alfa might take the cake with the best caption for race week, using their driver Kimi Raikkonen to express their excitement for the first race of the season coming up on Sunday!

Renault

The French team had a disappointing season in 2019 but will be hoping that they will be more competitive in 2020. They have brought in Esteban Ocon who will drive alongside Daniel Riccirado and they will both be looking to take control of the midfield battle. 

Red Bull Racing 

Many believe that Red Bull could genuinely challenge Mercedes for the championship this season. Max Verstappen is certainly looking forward to the challenge and getting back out on the track.  

Mercedes

The dominant force in the sport have come into the 2020 season with a new DAS system suggesting that they are going to be on top of their game once again this season. Lewis Hamilton has the opportunity to draw level with Michael Schumacher’s all time championship record and will be looking to cement his name in the history of the sport. 

Racing Point 

The midfield team looked fast during winter testing and it will be interesting to see how they get on this season. Will they be faster than McLaren?
