Also, it will be really exciting to see whether Rosberg will finally triumph over his arch rival, teammate and the defending champion, Lewis Hamilton.

    The drivers have been sweating hard on the tracks and pushing their machines as well as themselves to the limit. This season, we will witness the teams being downsized to a maximum of four power units, but any season with twenty or more events will allow each driver use an extra mill. So, if all goes well and the season concludes with 21 races, each driver will be allowed to use five engines. It will be exciting to see how this season pans out and who comes out on top.
