Max Verstappen he is the best driver of the 2023 Formula 1 season. This was decreed through a vote by the same drivers who elected the Dutchman - as well as this season's world champion - as the best of 2023. It is also useless to be able to specify the reason: the numbers, after all, really speak for themselves. Verstappen dominated the Formula 1 season, with well 19 victories and a gap of approx 290 points from second place conquered and brought home by his teammate Perez.
Verstappen voted best driver of the 2023 season, followed by Hamilton and Alonso
In addition to Verstappen, he gets on the podium as the best driver of the 2023 season Formula 1 Lewis too Hamilton, accompanied by Fernando Alonso. Both drivers had an excellent season, despite the great difficulties experienced by their cars: Alonso, in fact, after an incredible start, he had to abandon the positions that matter, while Hamilton had an entire year full of ups and downs due to a feeling, the one with the W14, never really blossomed.
The two Ferraris are off the podium
Within the top ten of this special ranking, there is no shortage of Ferrari drivers: Leclerc e Sainz they placed fifth and sixth respectively, with Lando Norris which takes fourth place. At Ferrari it certainly wasn't a season to remember, even though both Leclerc and Sainz always tried to get the most out of the SF23. A different story, also visible in the results, for Norris, author of a great season - especially after the updates fitted to the MCL60 from Austria - on his McLaren.
Closing the top ten
Closing out the top ten of the ranking formed thanks to the pilots' votes is Alexander Albon in seventh position (a more than deserved result), followed by Oscar Piastres and Pierre gasly. At the bottom, but at least in the points, Sergio Perez, certainly the author of a clearly subdued season with Red Bull, especially when compared to that of his teammate.
