After the completion of the first 11 rounds of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship, Max Verstappen from Red Bull Racing has established a commanding lead in the title race with an impressive record of eight wins. His latest victory came at the British Grand Prix, solidifying his position at the top.
Verstappen’s teammate, Sergio Perez, has had a more inconsistent season but managed to hold on to second place in the rankings. Despite showing promise early on with two race wins, Perez has faced setbacks in the last five rounds due to mishaps during qualifying, forcing him to start from the back of the grid.
In contrast, Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin has consistently delivered strong results throughout the season. He has secured five podium finishes, taking third place in races held in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Miami, and securing second place in the Monaco Grand Prix. Alonso currently sits in third place in the rankings, trailing Perez by 19 points.
Ferrari, after a promising start to the season, experienced a decline in performance in subsequent rounds. Reliability issues and crashes affected their drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. However, recent upgrades introduced at the Austrian Grand Prix appear to have made a positive impact, as both drivers showcased strong performances. Leclerc, who finished second, achieved his first podium finish of the season.
A similar resurgence was observed at McLaren during the British Grand Prix. After struggling to make progress for most of the season, recent upgrades propelled both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to the front of the pack, with Norris leading the race for several laps.
Among the rookie drivers of the season, Piastri has been the most successful. He remains the only one among the three rookies to score points, achieving his first points at the Australian Grand Prix and adding to his tally at the Monaco and UK rounds. The other rookies, Logan Sargeant from Williams and Nyck De Vries from AlphaTauri, are yet to score any points.
