The Formula 1 season 2023 it aims to be something we will remember for a long time. In this lesson, otherwise files and records very important.

Sports news presents all the details below.

The driver with the most titles in history

The hegemony of Mercedes with Lewis Hamilton on the front has meant an indisputable superiority of the German-British duo. Everything pointed to 2021, then having equaled Michael Schumacher with seven world titlesthe Englishman would take his eighth championship crown.

However, Max Verstappen got in his way, losing that fifth consecutive championship on the final lap of the final Grand Prix of the year. In 2022 the Dutchman repeated the crown and in 2023 he appears as the big favourite, but… can Hamilton spring a surprise?

More time between one win and another

Fernando Alonso’s return to Formula 1 after retiring in 2018 has been hailed as the Spaniard’s umpteenth attempt to return to the elite class. An unfortunate start to the hybrid era at Ferrari and the failure of McLaren Honda prevented the two-time world champion from having an end to his career to match his figure.

2023 is his debut with Aston Martin after his final stint at Alpine and there is an illusion of a return to the top of the podium at the British team. The last race Alonso won was the Spanish Grand Prix 2013that is, at the beginning of the season he takes 154 entries without managing to finish in first place.

If he succeeded at any point in the season, he would become the driver who would have to wait the longest between victories. So far this record is maintained Kimi Raikkonen with 114 runs (Australia 2013-USA 2018).

Ferrari’s drought is over

Although the Italians are the most famous and the most famous team in Formula 1, the reality is that they have not tasted the sweetness of success for a long time, either in the drivers’ championship or the constructors’ championship.

since inside 2007 Kimi Raikkonen succeeded in extremis the title in the last match over Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso and the fact that the following year they beat the team over McLaren they have never won again. During this period, Ferrari came close to breaking the streak on several occasions (2010, 2012, 2017 and 2018), but for different reasons always ended up eluding them.

The longest period experienced by the Italians in the drivers’ championship was 21 years and 16 years in the constructors’ championship. Even if they put an end to that in 2023, it wouldn’t be a record, but it would be a remarkable record considering Ferrari’s trend.

More Grand Prix until the first win

The all-time record for most races to his first win is held by Czech Perezwho at the 2020 Sakhir GP ended his drought 190 shares. And in 2023, Nico Hulkenberg He could break that mark if he celebrates in the second part of the World Cup. He entered this campaign on 181 GP without a win.

If he doesn’t win, he’ll be close to his all-time record Andrea De Cesariswho did 208 races without ever being able to climb the top drawer of the podium.

Absolute dominance of a circuit

The increase in races per season and Mercedes’ unparalleled supremacy have seen Lewis Hamilton set record after record. Between 2014 and 2021 there has been no other driver to match the Englishman’s consistent performances, someone who has gone on to achieve a huge level of perfection at certain tracks.

Michael Schumacher holds the honor of being the driver with the most wins at a single track eight in Magny Cours (France). A record that Hamilton managed to equal in 2021 Silverstone (Great Britain) with his eighth victory on the circuit and 2020 at the Hungaroring (Hungary). If he wins at either of these tracks in 2023, he would become the only rider to dominate a single location in such a way.

On the other hand, Hamilton added 9 poles in Melbourne (Australia) and hungaroringbetter than Schumacher at Suzuka (Japan) and Ayrton Senna at Imola (San Marino GP), both with 8.
