A new season of Formula One is approaching and the first competition to be held will be the Australian Grand Prix that will be held on March 25 at the Albert Park Circuit Melbourne. There are several challenges that each of the pilots have for this test.

We will list five aspects that will be fundamental in the excellent development of this competition that has a high number of followers worldwide. A series of important changes will be presented in the circuits, the pilots and at a technical level to protect the drivers.

1. Curiosities: This season of 2018 will be the 69th version of the Formula One World Championships. The last competition will be held in Abu Dhabi on November 25.

In the same way all the teams will have Pirelli tires, which has a contract signed until 2019.

In addition the number 17 was withdrawn in honor of the pilot Jules Bianchi who died in 2015, and in this way, this will be the third year in which this badge will no longer be used in Formula One.

2. Changes in circuits: The Grand Prix of France will be held again, which was last played in 2008 at the Magny Cours circuit, and this time it will be played on the Paul Ricard oval on June 24 in Le Castelet.

For this reason the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan will be held as the fourth validation of the season on April 29.

It will return the German Grand Prix that was not disputed last year, and this time it will be held at the Hockenheim Circuit. The test will take place on July 22 and there is great expectation on the part of the pilots.

Also during this season the Malaysian Grand Prix will not be held, this time it will be for the one in Russia and this will take place on September 30 at the Sochi Autodrom.

3. Important transfers: In order to obtain important titles and recognitions, the teams made a series of additions among which stand out: the arrival of the Spanish driver Carlos Sainz to the Renault team where he hopes to excel and give joy to the team.

On the other hand, Charles Leclerc who will be consecrated as champion in Formula 2 during 2017, will replace Pascal Wehrlein in the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team.

In turn, Daniil Kyvat will no longer be with Red Bull and this time will act as the third driver of the Italian team Ferrari.

Meanwhile, Sergei Sirotkin arrives at the Williams team to replace Felipe Massa, while Robert Kubica will be in this team after a notorious absence in Formula One.

4. Technical modifications: Among the most important technical modifications for the current season it is important to emphasize that the vehicles will have more references of the pilot and therefore larger numbers may be evidenced, the flag of their country of origin and the abbreviation of their names may be be better identified by the followers of the tests.

As one of the most important novelties will be taken IGNORE INTO account the use of pneumatic gloves that will allow pilots to wear a sensor that will allow them to see their vital signs, as well as the measurement of the level of oxygen in the blood and the frequency of the pulse. These aspects are very important to save drivers' lives.

In the same way, the Halo system will be introduced, a component that will be fundamental in protecting the head of the pilots during accidents. The goal is to improve some of the features in its design.

5. Favorites: Undoubtedly, for this edition of Formula One, the great favorite is Lewis Hamilton due to the achievements he has recently achieved in this competition. This Briton of 32 years has earned more than these awards and therefore is the candidate of all.

Similarly, in a second line are candidates like Sebastian Vettel who in recent years has given the fight to Hamilton. For their part, Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo who belong to the Red Bull team also have arguments to be taken IGNORE INTO account.

For these five elements, this 2018 season of Formula One is shaping up to be one of the best for the series of circuits that are going to be taken IGNORE INTO account and for all the novelties that will be implemented in order for the pilots to show their best performance
