Telling stats on the 2023 F1 season

From the front of the grid to the back, every driver who contested Formula 1 races this year share the same intense competitiveness.

Even outside of the points places, every driver is fighting for the best result available, and every conceivable metric for assessing their performance is scrutinised.

So who impressed and who came up short among the 22 drivers who contested this year’s 22 rounds? We dug into the data and unearthed a revealing statistic about each of them:

Max Verstappen

Race start, Circuit de Catalunya, 2023
Despite qualifying well ahead of his team mate on average, and rarely having the opportunity to gain places on lap one, Max Verstappen was extremely effective at the start of grands prix, only twice losing a position before lap two.

Sergio Perez

Sergio Perez (MEX) Red Bull Racing RB19 leads team mate Max Verstappen (NLD) Red Bull Racing RB19. 07.05.2023. Formula 1 World Championship, Rd 5, Miami Grand Prix, Miami, Florida, USA, Race Day. - www.xpbimages.com, EMail: requests@xpbimages.com © Copyright: Coates / XPB Images
This was the 24th time a driver finished runner-up to their team mate in the championship, but Sergio Perez scored a lower proportion of the champion’s tally than his predecessors, taking just 49.7% of Verstappen’s total.

Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, Baku City Circuit, 2023
Despite taking five pole positions this year, more than any driver bar Verstappen, Charles Leclerc failed to win a single race.

Carlos Sainz Jnr

George Russell, Carlos Sainz Jnr, Lewis Hamilton, Singapore, 2023
His team mate Carlos Sainz Jnr, however, was the only non-Red Bull driver to take victory in a grand prix.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, Hungaroring, 2023
The only driver outside of Red Bull and Ferrari to take pole position for a grand prix was Lewis Hamilton.

George Russell

George Russell, Mercedes, Singapore, 2023
George Russell dropped 14 places over a race – the most of any driver – twice in three rounds at Zandvoort and in Singapore. Only Lando Norris ever did the same, after tangling with Hamilton at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix.

Esteban Ocon

Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Alpine, Silverstone, 2023
The Alpine drivers were the most closely-matched pair in qualifying. On average Esteban Ocon was just a thousandth of a second slower than Pierre Gasly.

Pierre Gasly

Pierre Gasly, Alpine, Spa-Francorchamps, 2023
Gasly out-scored Ocon in the championship by four points. But Ocon would have been ahead without the sprint races, in which he scored two points to Gasly’s eight.

Lando Norris

Lando Norris, McLaren, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, 2023
Eight rounds into the season Norris had 12 points, an average of 1.5 per round. After McLaren upgraded their car he picked up 193 points in 14 events, an average of 13.7.

Oscar Piastri

Oscar Piastri, McLaren, Losail International Circuit, 2023
Oscar Piastri has a pole and a win in sprint races – but hasn’t managed either in a grand prix yet.
