Debate | Who will be Verstappen's biggest rival in 2024?

If there was any doubt left about whether Max Verstappen will be the top man in 2024, it has well disappeared after the Red Bull driver's confident victory in the opening race in Bahrain. But behind the Dutchman, things look set to get a lot more exciting. Sergio Perez crossed the line second, but he had to work hard to keep off Carlos Sainz (Ferrari). Charles Leclerc had problems with his Ferrari's brakes, otherwise he would probably have been closer. It begs the question: 'Who is going to be Verstappen's main rival in '24?'
