The Rise of Formula 1

The new Formula 1 season is underway - but can it match the drama and controversy of 2021 and that final race, in which Max Verstappen snatched the title from Lewis Hamilton? The fallout has barely subsided during the three-month off-season, with the removal of race director Michael Masi, question marks over seven-time champion Hamilton's future, and an ongoing rivalry between Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff.
The sport is attracting huge audiences again - in part driven by the Drive to Survive Netflix documentary - which takes us behind the scenes of last year's epic championship battle. But this season, it's all change - with a complete overhaul of the sport's rules and cars. 麻豆社 Newsbeat reporter Christian Hewgill and Radio 5 Live F1 commentator, Jenny Gow - who are in Bahrain - have managed to snatch a chat with Verstappen. This is their 5 Minutes On - the Rise of Formula 1.
