The trailer also hints at the drivers who parted ways with their teams at the end of the season - Sebastian Vettel, who headed into retirement, Ricciardo who has left McLaren, and Mick Schumacher who lost his seat with Haas.

Two-time champion Max Verstappen had previously boycotted the streaming service as he felt they had twisted some situations. However, he has made a return for the fifth season. In an interview with Racing365.com, Verstappen explained why he came back to the show:

"I spoke with them of course before I was going to give an interview.

"I hope that they understood my message, and I also know that especially being a World Champion, you have to be part of something like that.

"So I gave them like 30 minutes to one hour of an interview and I hope that they are going to use it.

"I don't know when I'm going to watch it, but I hope they are happy. And I hope that I can be happy after watching it - I know it is important to F1 as well for growing the sport in general.
