Welcome to the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship!  FULL RACE CALENDAR HERE How do I watch? Depends on where you live and what you want to pay. Use a search engine, I promise it's not hard. F1TV is also a thing. What's new for 2023? Red Bull are better and Ferrari are worse. Aston Martin are arguably the 3rd best team. Nico Hulkenberg is back working full time in F1. TLDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Formula_One_World_Championship Teams & Drivers Red Bull -- Oracle Red Bull Racing  Drivers: Max Verstappen & Sergio Perez Team Principal: Christian Horner No one knows just how good the Red Bull is because it’s good enough to get easy wins without pushing too hard. Christian Horner is of course being a huge prick about it. Mercedes -- Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team  Drivers: Lewis Hamilton & George Russell Team Principal: Toto Wolff Mercedes had a bad car last year and despite dubious technical decisions in their favor from the FIA they remained bad. They are fighting to get on the podium this year. (Disclaimer: George Russell loving sucks, both as a human and a driver.) Ferrari -- Scuderia Ferrari  Drivers: Charles Leclerc & Carlos Sainz Team Principal: Frederic Vasseur Ferrari fired their team principal and poached another. This has led to no changes in Ferrari’s fortunes, and they continue to make terrible decisions that limit the results they can achieve in their shitbox car. Aston Martin-Mercedes -- Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team  Drivers: Fernando Alonso & Lance Stroll Team Principal: Mike Krack Aston decided to copy the Red Bull this year, and they have a very fast car. They also have the best driver on the grid now with Fernando Alonso. McLaren F1 Team -- McLaren-Mercedes  Drivers: Lando Norris & Oscar Piastri Team Principal: Andrea Stella (lol... pictured is Zak Brown because oops!) McLaren continue to spiral down the order, even though the incredible rise of McLaren has been massively understated. Their rookie driver Oscar Piastri looks quick, but the car doesn’t. Alpine-Renault -- BWT Alpine F1 Team  Drivers: Pierre Gasly & Esteban Ocon Team Principal: Otmar Szafnauer The team is more French this year with two French drivers, but the car is an embarrassment. Drama between the drivers or crashes are the only way they’ll get coverage this year. Haas-Ferrari -- Uralkali Haas F1 Team  Drivers: Kevin Magnussen & Nico Hulkenberg Team Principal: Guenther Steiner Haas had a good car last year and have managed to keep some of that edge this year. Their veteran drivers mean they are cruising for all the easy points they can get, and they may manage to get some this year. AlphaTauri-Red Bull -- Scuderia AlphaTauri  Drivers: Nyck De Vries & Yuki Tsunoda Team Principal: Franz Tost Inconsistent so far, and with a rookie driver Nyck DeVries, it’s unclear how fast the Alpha is. Williams-Mercedes -- Williams Racing  Drivers: Alex Albon & Logan Sargeant Team Principal: James Vowles Williams are technically better than last year, but that’s a very low bar. They have a US driver now so they get lots of coverage and Florida man jokes. Alfa Romeo-Ferrari -- Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN (powered by Sauber)  Drivers: Zhou Guanyu & Valtteri Bottas Team Principal: Alessandro Alunni Bravi (team representative???) Forgettable both because of their midfield position and because they are yet another livery that appears almost black on camera. A special note about Valtteri… since leaving Mercedes, he has become a likable, interesting character as illustrated by these amazing photographs:  F1 Thread Fantasy Link: https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/C2LPQXCFV02 Netflix F1 Drive to Survive: https://www.netflix.com/title/80204890 OP REWRITTEN BY: Pragmatica on 28APR2023

Ferrari needs to win not because I like them or because I want them to win, but because I put them on my fantasy team and therefore they must succeed.
