The final 2023 F1 season review focuses on Red Bull – who romped to a seventh Drivers’ and sixth Constructors’ crown in devastating fashion.
f the greatest team principals in Formula 1 history. His leadership and management of the Red Bull team resulted in their unprecedented success in the 2023 season. The team’s flawless performance was evident in their domination of the competition, winning 21 out of 22 races. This level of dominance has rarely been seen before in elite sports. Despite falling short of winning every race, Red Bull’s near-perfect execution in pit-stops, trackside engineering, operations, strategy, motivation, and a bit of luck propelled them to this remarkable achievement. Some critics argue that such domination harms the sport and alienates fans, but it is not Red Bull’s fault. Formula 1 has always seen different teams rise to the top in different eras. Max Verstappen, the team’s star driver, solidified his status as the defining driver of his generation, joining the ranks of legends like Fangio and Schumacher. His performance throughout the season was exceptional, with 19 wins that demolished previous records. Sergio Perez, on the other hand, had a mixed season. While he finished second in the championship, his performance was marred by a large point gap to Verstappen. Unless there is a drastic improvement, his future with the team beyond 2024 is uncertain. Overall, Christian Horner’s outstanding leadership has placed him among the greatest team principals in Formula 1 history.
