Formula 1 prepares to embark on what could be one of the most competitive and open seasons in years at the Australian Grand Prix this weekend.
While the sport's regulations may be largely unchanged for the new campaign, there has been a winter of change across the grid with 10 of the 20 seats changing hands - a driver reshuffle headlined by Lewis Hamilton's blockbuster arrival at Ferrari.
"We're expecting one of the all-time classic Formula 1 seasons and there's nothing that we saw in the pre-season test in Bahrain that changed our minds," said Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle before flying out to Melbourne.
"The top four teams - McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes - are incredibly close."
