Aston Martin Vanquish Overview
With 52 wins under his belt after the Brazilian Grand Prix, Verstappen is rapidly approaching the record-holders, with only Vettel (53 wins), Michael Schumacher (91 wins), and Lewis Hamilton (103 wins) in front. Given that Verstappen is only 26 years old, his trajectory suggests he might one day lead the tally.
Red Bull Racing, bolstered by Verstappen’s victories and Sergio Perez’s contributions, has also secured the Constructors’ Championship for 2023 as early as the Japanese Grand Prix in September. Perez, despite his second-place standing in the Drivers’ Championship, has faced a season marred by inconsistency, including mishaps in qualifying and collisions in several races, such as his unfortunate crash on the first lap at the Mexican Grand Prix.
Aston Martin emerged as an unexpected contender early in the season, with Fernando Alonso delivering robust performances and achieving podium finishes seven times, securing third place in several Grands Prix and second in Monaco and the Netherlands.
McLaren, not to be outdone, has shown a remarkable turnaround in performance following the introduction of the latest car upgrades. Its drivers, Lando Norris and rookie Oscar Piastri, have consistently challenged the leaders, frequently finding themselves in podium contention.
Among the new entrants, Piastri has distinguished himself as the standout rookie of the season, amassing 83 points and surpassing several seasoned competitors. Meanwhile, other rookies, including Williams’ Logan Sargeant and AlphaTauri’s Nyck de Vries, have shown potential, with de Vries being replaced in July by the more seasoned Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo, after recovering from a wrist injury sustained in a practice crash, made a comeback at the United States Grand Prix in October, with substitute driver Liam Lawson making a positive impression during his absence.

alonso still got it, impressive how he’s putting Aston Martin back on the map with those podiums…
Gotta say, Verstappens dominance this season is just insane, reminds me of the Schumacher days to be honest.
Piastri is the future, mark my words, the kid’s outperforming some of the big names already in his first year!
sergios performance might be up n down but you can’t deny he’s vital for Red Bull’s constructors title.
late season surge from Mclaren is what we live for, hope they keep this energy going into the next season.
