Last year, Verstappen won the most races anyone has ever won in a season. What does he have in store for 2023?
Max Verstappen's first championship was controversial, at best. Although he ran a magnificent season to put himself into the position to win, the timing of a safety car and uncharacteristic plan to force an earlier restart before full wave-around procedure was complete casts a long shadow over his 2021 title. His 2022 season carries no such qualifiers.
At the time, the decision seemed like a surefire way to waste a prospect's incredible potential. When Red Bull pulled a similar stunt with Jaime Alguersuari, the driver Verstappen replaced as the youngest F1 starter ever, it ended with Alugersuari out of F1 within three years and retired from racing to concentrate on his career as a DJ by 25.
Verstappen improved gradually for the next few years, never winning more than three races between 2017 and 2020, but he kept improving and continued to win multiple races every year. With Sebastian Vettel falling out of favor at Ferrari, it was enough to make him the clear greatest threat to Lewis Hamilton for the championship in the 2021 season.
