World champions, changers and debutants in Formula 1

THE WORLD CHAMPIONS The four of them have 13 driver titles. Lewis Hamilton: 7 World Cup successes, Sebastian Vettel 4, Fernando Alonso 2, Kimi Räikkönen 1. Fan favorites, guys with rough edges, sometimes more, sometimes less. Hamilton, the record champion together with Michael Schumacher, who, in addition to his sporting insatiability, has long been distinguished by his fight for justice, against racism and for more diversity.

Vettel, who wants to make a new start at Aston Martin after seven years without a title. Raikkonen, who can still boast of being the last Ferrari world champion, and Alonso, who once ended Michael Schumacher's triumphant journey with Renault. Together, Hamilton (36), Vettel (33), Alonso (39) and Räikkönen (41) are 149 years old. THE DEBUTANTS Mick Schumacher is undoubtedly the most prominent driver who will celebrate his racing debut in Formula 1 in Bahrain. The only debutant is the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher, who turned 22 last Monday. Nikita Mazepin, also 22 years old, will compete with him in the Haas team. Last season they were opponents in Formula 2, which Mick Schumacher won. The Russian has often made a name for himself through negative headlines; his father, Dimitri, is a billionaire and co-sponsor of the Haas team. Yuki Tsunoda, a talent from Japan, is joining Alpha Tauri. The 20-year-old made it from Japanese Formula 4 to Formula 1 in just three years. THE CHANGERS Sebastian Vettel's retirement from Ferrari set a lot of things in motion. In order for the 33-year-old to be able to step on the gas at Aston Martin, Sergio Perez had to leave the former Racing Point team. In the end, the Mexican found a job that Vettel already had: Perez moved to Red Bull, where Alexander Albon was out of the race after a disappointing season. Vettel's place at Ferrari will be taken by Carlos Sainz Junior this year, while the Australian Daniel Ricciardo went from Renault to McLaren to replace the Spaniard.
