The Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton - earning a reported $60m a year following his blockbuster switch from Mercedes - will also hope to be in contention come the business end of the season, while George Russell is targeting a big improvement at Mercedes.

Norris' team-mate at McLaren, Oscar Piastri, may be considered something of an outsider, but there is no doubt the Australian has the backing of his squad after signing a new multi-year deal this week.
