Who joins Sergio Perez and Alpine on the list of the big losers from the 2023 F1 season?
After the winners of the 2023 season were announced, RacingNews365 compiled a list of the biggest losers from the campaign. They made it clear that being considered a loser in this context does not mean incompetence, as the difference between 100% and 99% in elite sports is significant. Sergio Perez had a challenging season, with his performance declining after being overtaken by Max Verstappen in Miami. There were speculations about the car design favoring Verstappen’s style, which affected Perez’s performance. Red Bull saw multiple senior management changes during the season, causing disruptions and a drop in their constructors’ ranking. Alpine also faced difficulties, falling behind the top teams and experiencing a lack of stability due to management changes. Mercedes and Ferrari struggled in 2023, scoring only one win each and falling significantly behind Red Bull. Both teams will introduce major changes for 2024, but Red Bull’s two-year advantage in experience might be hard to overcome.
