After a first world title acquired in 2021 at the end of a final legendary race and a second obtained the following year by crushing the competition, here is Max Verstappen crowned with a third title in a row in 2023.
This year, he did not give details: the Dutch steamroller was crowned world champion while there were still six Grands Prix to run. His dominance was so overwhelming that he would have helped Red Bull win the constructors’ championship even without the help of teammate Sergio Perez. The 2023 season was nevertheless lively and the fight for the final podium disputed between four teams: Mercedes and Aston Martin, the McLarens of rising star Lando Norris, and the Ferraris, who managed the feat of interrupting the impressive Red Bull’s winning streak with Sainz’s first place at the Singapore Grand Prix. On the French side, the Normans from Alpine each signed a podium, in Monaco for Esteban Ocon, and in the Netherlands for Pierre Gasly.
