Verstappen the man to beat in Melbourne, top of the midfield in close fight

Who will stop Max Verstappen? That has been the big question before the start of a Grand Prix weekend for over two seasons. Red Bull Racing's Dutch driver won the opening races of the 2024 season comfortably, and, in advance, there is no reason to believe that Verstappen will not win the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. Behind the three-time world champion, however, there is still plenty of excitement to look forward to.
