F1 2023 Season

Congratulations Max and RB with easily the best F1 car in history.
RB has done such a brilliant job. Hopefully next season will be less dominant.
 
Doesn’t come anymore dominant really, another year of that would be hugely depressing.
 
Genuinely a fact that the grid know to race Hamilton hard to beat him. Such a shame Lewis mellowed to the point he’s rounded off all his edges when the style of racing now kind of needs it, Hamilton 2007 to 2012 was aggressive, he’s just not that driver anymore and it’s frustrating on occasion.
I'd reserve judgement till hes back in a james allison designed car for the first time since 2021 season. Which will be next season.
 
I don’t like to compare drivers to the different generations but I can fully say he is a more complete and dominant driver than Schumacher and Senna. He almost never cracks under pressure.

This is unpopular opinion from me.
 
Surely if Perez had been more consistent RB would have got over 100 points?
Perez has been SO awful that RB have had only 1-2 finish all season. Thats mental for a car so much better than the rest of the field.

Plus he should be fired for being fecking awful this season. Logan Sergant would do a better job than him in the RB.
 
Williams finishing 7th is a mega achievement as well, Vowles has made some impact on that team.

It's not exactly the best season to say he's more complete or doesn't crack under pressure considering he's basically just had to drive the car home in most races.
 
Regardless, Hamilton’s wheel to wheel racing ability has evidentially deteriorated.
If it were that simple.

Yep, they should make progress next season as well now that Pat Fry has joined them. He does tend to improve teams he joins. Also Albion should be contender for driver of the season, with the resources Williams have and the car they put out.

I’m talking more about racing craft though, Hamilton is pretty toothless now by design, he’s risk averse. The times he does go aggressive he tends to hit things or get hit, I don’t doubt people race him harder for sure which doesn’t help.

Red Bull won’t be beaten until we get big changes, wouldn’t even care too much if they didn’t have Perez in the 2nd seat, two more seasons of Max stat padding to come, magic.

I don’t think they will challenge anyone for the title during this era of car, they have cocked it up so badly they will be forever on the back foot trying to close the gap, heads should have rolled for this really.
 
First time Alonso has been in the top 4 of the championship in 10 years, wonder if that’s the longest gap?
 
P4 in the 5th best car for Alonso.
Norris bottled this weekend. He should have finished 4th.
 
Cheers Checo for securing second in the championship for Mercedes. Hope RB give you a nice new 10 year contract

The best car of the current regulations, but not the best ever. That would probably be the 2020 or 2021 Mercedes if you look at lap records.
 
You know it's been a completely duff season when the super bru was closer and more exciting than the actual racing
 
Did not watch the race, son had it on in the car so listened to a lot of it m, will watch the highlights later.
I did have the podium correct untill the 5 second penalty , but 14 Superbru points, happy with that
 
Ferrari totally fecked it up with Sainz's strategy, they had the pace as shown with Leclerc, there was absolutely no reason for that gamble.

And yeah, that was shite from Perez. He really can't overtake people properly, even with much quicker car.

It wasn't the strategy that fecked Sainz. He was way off the pace all weekend, 16th place and over a second behind Charles in Q1 and couldn't even keep up with Stroll during the race on the same tires.
 
The season forgetting Max, has been good, plenty of racing and good moves and the constructors going down to the last race , just a pity the Driver championship could not offer the same.
Fair play to Max the most dominant team ever.
Can Mercedes, Ferrari , McLaren A Martin, get closer to the RB in 2024, let’s hope so.
