Season Overview
The 2023 Formula 1 season was the most dominant in the sport's history. Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing shattered every record in the book. Verstappen won 19 of 22 races — the most wins in a single season ever. Red Bull won 21 of 22 races. The RB19, designed by Adrian Newey, was so superior to the competition that it was in a class of its own. Verstappen clinched his third consecutive World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix with six races remaining. The season was a masterclass in engineering excellence — the RB19 was faster, more reliable, and more consistent than any other car on the grid. Despite the dominance, there were highlights elsewhere: Carlos Sainz won for Ferrari in Singapore, Fernando Alonso had a remarkable season for Aston Martin, and Lando Norris showed flashes of brilliance for McLaren. The season also saw the introduction of the Las Vegas Grand Prix — a night race on the famous Strip.
