Sky Sports has released its 2018 trailer teasing the new F1 season and which will air on the broadcaster's channels on the run-up to the Australian GP on March 25.

The short film takes an original approach to the chronology of events, with everyone moving backwards in time to a point of inception, designated as the start of a car's design.

Interestingly, Red Bull's Max Verstappen features prominently in the closing part of the clip, almost reflecting a subliminal prediction by Sky for this years' title fight.

Not so fast Max...
