The best people to assess the driving level of the drivers on the F1 grid in 2023 are none other than the drivers themselves. They really know the value of the result of a partner on the asphalt with more or less weapons than their own and can give a note with more sensitivity and concreteness of what the pilots did this year. And that’s exactly what the F1 drivers did. On the official website of the world’s leading motorsport competition, the Top-10 best drivers of the year 2023 were published a few days ago according to the drivers themselves, after each of them secretly voted for the 10 best that course.
To obtain the final classification, each driver’s points are tallied using a scoring system equivalent to that used in F1 races, with 25 points for first in each list, up to the point that the 10 per list lasts. . In this way, there is no doubt that Max Verstappen is the best after his incredible record-breaking season at the wheel of his Red Bull, in which he achieved his third title with 19 wins out of a possible 22.
After him, the drivers disagreed with the vote of the 10 team leaders. The Team Principals placed Alonso in second position ahead of Norris and Leclerc, with Hamilton in 4th place. Meanwhile, the drivers were more appreciative of Hamilton’s time at the wheel of his Mercedes, showing great progress compared to last year. Hamilton was voted by the drivers as the 2nd best of the year.
In third position can be seen Fernando Alonso, who gained 3 positions compared to a year ago. In this way, the drivers recognized the great year of the Spaniard at the wheel of his Aston Martin. The man from Oviedo achieved 8 podiums, taking the first 5 out of 6 races by taking advantage of a box car, and then added three more podiums thanks to his hands in a car overtaken by rivals this. In Canada and the Netherlands he worked magic with a low car and in Brazil, again, he showed up with a ‘photo finish’ finish against ‘Checo’ Pérez.
Lando Norris followed in fourth place, ahead of Charles Leclerc (5th) who dropped 3 places and Carlos Sainz (6th) who gained one compared to 2022. Albon finished 7th after his good campaign with Williams . Piastri was 8th ahead of Pierre Gasly (9th) and ‘Checo’ Pérez, 10th and a long way from Verstappen who had a lower performance than Max with the same car.
