However, just before the season begins, it is a kind of ritual, to sum up all the major possible happenings of the season. It is really interesting to know what fans may get to see during the 2023 Formula One World Championship.
3. A Three-Way Battle For The 2023 Formula One World Championship
The very first and the most predicted happening of the 2023 season includes the three-way battle. Last year only Red Bull and Ferrari were found battling for the championship. But this time, Mercedes has assured their comeback, and so definitely, there will be a three-way battle. As a matter of fact, during the winter break, whenever the three major drivers, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton, were asked about the 2023 prediction, all of them hoped for the same thing. A THREE-WAY BATTLE.
Hamilton has claimed that Mercedes will surely beat Red Bull, and he also hoped good for Ferrari. While Max Verstappen claimed, “Red Bull will again be the same strong” and hoped for Ferrari and Mercedes to come back. On the other hand, Charles Leclerc also suggested for three-way battle and hoped for Mercedes’s recovery. So not just us, but the Formula One driver themselves are predicting this happening.
2. Either Lewis Hamilton Will Win The Eighth Formula One World Title
The title for which Hamilton returned in 2022 was missed again. Now, Hamilton has got just one year in his contract with Mercedes. Although the deal extension is taking place, after two years, he will enter his forties which might mark the end of his sports career. Hamilton has made one thing very clear he will only retire after he becomes a world champion breaking his and Schumacher’s records.
After facing a disastrous season with zero wins. Hamilton has become like a wounded lion that attacks late but more stringer. Mercedes has revealed that they are bringing changes in W14. So yes, the 2023 Formula One season might turn Hamilton into an eight-time world champion.
1. Or Max Verstappen Will Become The Third-Time World Champion
Max Verstappen became a back-to-back world champion within the past two years. Rather than winning the Formula One championship, it matters that he defeated the seven-time world champion in both campaigns. Max battled in 2021 to clinch his maiden title, which went a little controversial. However, in 2022, he claimed the win smoothly after winning 13 races in Suzuka.
As he finished first in the United States Grand Prix and again in Yas Marina, Max Verstappen broke the record of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel by two wins for winning the most races in a season. If Red Bull succeeds in developing RB19 once again the same strong, then it will be highly appreciating to say that Max Verstappen will win the 2023 World championship.
