There may still be over a month to go until the start of the new Formula 1 season but it is fair to say that there has been plenty to report back on since the 2022 finished back in November.

After what was something of a procession for Max Verstappen and Red Bull last year, the hope is that this coming year will see a more even contest and more evenly contested races for the Driver and Constructor’s Championship.

Let’s now quickly recap how the 2022 F1 Season finished before we look forward to what we can expect from the forthcoming 2023 season.

How Did The 2022 F1 Season Finish?

Driver’s Championship 2022 – Top 10

  1. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – 454 points
  2. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) – 308 points
  3. Sergio Perez (Red Bull) – 305 points
  4. George Russell (Mercedes) – 275 points
  5. Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) – 246 points
  6. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) – 240 points
  7. Lando Norris (McLaren) – 122 points
  8. Esteban Ocon (Alpine) – 92 points
  9. Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) – 81 points
  10. Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) – 49 points

Constructor’s Championship 2022

  1. Red Bull Racing – 759
  2. Ferrari – 554
  3. Mercedes – 515
  4. Alpine – 173
  5. McLaren – 159
  6. Alfa Romeo – 55
  7. Aston Martin – 55
  8. Haas – 37
  9. Alpha Tauri – 35
  10. Williams – 8

Max Verstappen won a record 15 races in the 2022 season, setting a new record and he also clinched the Driver’s World Championship with four races still to go in the season, another record.

He won nine of the last 11 races of the season as he played the dominant role in leading Red Bull to a comfortable constructor’s title.

For teams like Mercedes and Ferrari, this off season has been all about cutting the gap that Red Bull have over them, while the Austrian-based Red Bull team will be seeking ways to maintain or even increase their dominance over the current F1 field.

F1 2023 Season

2023 F1 Season Teams Confirmed

The same ten teams will compete in the 2023 F1 season as competed in the 2022 season.

A number of teams are purported to be considering joining F1 in forthcoming seasons, with Audi one of the teams reportedly set to consider joining.

Others purportedly linked with a move into F1 include American team Andretti, Porsche, Ford, Lotus, Gordon Murray Automotive, Rosberg X Racing, Tesla and even Netflix.

Driver Line Ups For 2023

The full list of teams and driver line ups for 2023 are as follows:

  • Alfa Romeo – Valtteri Bottas (Fin) & Zhou Guanyu (Chn)
  • AlphaTauri – Nyck de Vries (Hol) & Yuki Tsunoda (Jap)
  • Alpine – Esteban Ocon (Fra) & Pierre Gasly (Fra)
  • Aston Martin – Lance Stroll (Can) & Fernando Alonso (Spa)
  • Ferrari – Charles Leclerc (Fra) & Carlos Sainz Jr (Spa)
  • Haas – Kevin Magnussen (Den) & Nico Hulkenberg (Ger)
  • McLaren – Lando Norris (GB) & Oscar Piastri (Ita)
  • Mercedes – Lewis Hamilton (GB) & George Russell (GB)
  • Red Bull – Max Verstappen (Hol) & Sergio Perez (Mex)
  • Williams – Alex Albon (Thai) & Logan Sargeant (US)

So who moved teams ahead of the 2023 and who is now out of F1?

Moving out of F1 were Daniel Ricciardo from McLaren, who is now Red Bull’s reserve and demonstration driver this year, and Mick Schumacher was relieved of his position at Haas.

Nico Hulkenberg takes over from Mick Schumacher at Haas, leaving Williams, who have appointed rookie Logan Sargeant as their second driver this year.

Oscar Piastri is the man who will replace Ricciardo at McLaren alongside Lando Norris this season.

In a trio of moves, Fernando Alonso replaced the retired Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin and his place at Alpine was taken by Pierre Gasly, who left AlphaTauri for that spot.

Formula E world Champion Nyck de Vries now gets a chance in F1 taking over Gasly’s spot in the AlphaTauri team.
