The 2023 F1 season wasn’t memorable for everyone, so who disappointed with their underwhelming performances?
Sergio Perez had a disappointing 2023 campaign compared to Max Verstappen, with his season unraveling after a devastating defeat in Miami. Despite starting from pole, Perez’s performance declined, failing to reach Q3 in a dominant car. He managed only two wins and two poles, far less than Verstappen’s impressive record. Lance Stroll, on the other hand, showed resilience by finishing sixth in Bahrain after recovering from injuries sustained in a cycling accident. However, Stroll struggled to match teammate Fernando Alonso’s performance, failing to secure a single podium finish. Logan Sargeant had a challenging rookie season at Williams, marred by errors and crashes, but showed improvement towards the end of the season, earning him a spot for the following year. Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg’s performances were difficult to assess due to the poor quality of their machinery.
