Welcome to the 2023 Formula 1 Season. After an agonizingly long winter break, it is only a few weeks until we see the return of race days and I, for one, cannot wait!
Now that all of the cars have launched, and pre-season testing was a success, you can use this post as a 'base' of sorts for everything you need to know for the 2023 season: the 2023 grid, team line ups, etc. I do already have a post up with the 2023 schedule which you can find here! I've also included a 'jump to' section below if you just want to read about a particular team.
JUMP TO:
The 2023 Grid:
The 2023 grid has had a little bit of a mix up this season - after what some may say was the silliest of silly seasons last year - with the introduction of 3 rookies, the return of some old faces, and team swaps. For each team, there is a table for the drivers, with their driver number, nationality, age, and the amount of years they've completed in F1 (excluding the 2023 season). I've organised this list alphabetically by team (as I usually do with F1 posts) to make it easier to find your team. Without further ado, here is the 2023 Formula 1 Grid...
