The 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula One cars, the 74th running of the Formula One World Championship. It was recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over twenty-two Grands Prix, which were held around the world. It began in March and ended in November.

Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion respectively. The season was dominated by defending champion Max Verstappen, who cruised to his third consecutive Drivers' Championship title at the Qatar Grand Prix, winning a record 19 out of 22 Grands Prix held and finishing on the podium 21 times (also a record number for most podiums in a season) by the end of the championship. His team, Red Bull Racing achieved their sixth Constructors' Championship title, their second consecutively, at the preceding Japanese Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing won 21 out of 22 Grands Prix, breaking the team record for highest percentage of Grand Prix wins in a season at 95.45%. Ferrari were the only other team to win a Grand Prix, courtesy of Carlos Sainz Jr. at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Free practice drivers

Throughout the season, each team had to field a driver in one of the first two free practice sessions who had not competed in more than two races, on two occasions, once for each car. The Grand Prix debuts of Oscar Piastri, Logan Sargeant and Nyck de Vries at the Bahrain Grand Prix each counted as one of the mandatory sessions for McLaren-Mercedes, Williams-Mercedes and AlphaTauri-Honda RBPT, respectively. Liam Lawson's debut at the Dutch Grand Prix did not count, as Nyck de Vries had already taken the mandatory free practice slot for that car.

Team changes

Honda returned as a named engine supplier to Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri, with both teams badging the engines as Honda RBPT. While Red Bull Powertrains had planned to take over assembly and maintenance of the engines from this season onward, it was later agreed that Honda would continue its technical support of Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri until the end of 2025.

Driver changes

Oscar Piastri (left), Nyck de Vries (centre) and Logan Sargeant (right) made their debuts with McLaren, AlphaTauri and Williams, respectively.

Sebastian Vettel retired at the end of the 2022 championship, ending his Formula One career after 15 full seasons. His place at Aston Martin was taken by Fernando Alonso, who left Alpine after two seasons. Alonso's replacement was initially announced as the 2021 Formula 2 Champion and Alpine reserve driver, Oscar Piastri. Shortly after this announcement, Piastri stated that he had not signed a contract for 2023 and that he would not be driving for Alpine. The FIA Contract Recognition Board ruled that he did not have any contractual obligations to race for Alpine. Pierre Gasly, who initially had a contract to drive for AlphaTauri, moved to Alpine, replacing Alonso. Gasly was replaced by the 2020–21 Formula E and 2019 Formula 2 Champion Nyck de Vries.

Daniel Ricciardo left McLaren after two seasons. Although he had a contract to drive for the team in 2023, it was terminated during the 2022 championship by mutual agreement. Ricciardo's seat was filled by Piastri, who made his Formula One debut. Nicholas Latifi left Williams after spending three seasons with the team. His seat was filled by Logan Sargeant, who graduated from Formula 2, making his Formula One debut and becoming the first American Formula One driver to compete since Alexander Rossi in 2015. Mick Schumacher left Haas after two seasons. His seat was taken by Nico Hülkenberg, who last competed in Formula One as a full-time race driver in 2019 with former team Renault.

Mid-season changes

Daniel Ricciardo (left) and debutant Liam Lawson (right) drove for AlphaTauri after Nyck de Vries' departure.

Nyck de Vries was relieved of his driving duties for AlphaTauri after underperforming in the first ten races of his rookie season. His seat was filled by Daniel Ricciardo starting from the Hungarian Grand Prix. Ricciardo had previously raced with the team in 2012 and 2013, when it was known as Toro Rosso. During second practice for the Dutch Grand Prix, his third race of the season, Ricciardo broke a metacarpal bone in his left hand in a crash. As a result, Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri's reserve driver Liam Lawson substituted for Ricciardo, making his Formula One debut. Lawson continued to substitute in for Ricciardo at the Italian, Singapore, Japanese and Qatar Grands Prix before Ricciardo returned for the United States Grand Prix.

Calendar changes

The Qatar Grand Prix returned to the calendar, having not been held in 2022 to allow Qatar to prepare to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. When the Qatar Grand Prix was first announced in 2021, the event was scheduled to take place at an undiscolosed location, with a new circuit in the planning stages. The publication of the season calendar showed that the event would remain at the Lusail International Circuit. The Las Vegas Grand Prix made its debut, with the race held in November on a new street track featuring the Las Vegas Strip. The last Grand Prix held in Las Vegas was the 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix. The addition of the Las Vegas Grand Prix meant the United States hosted three Formula One Grand Prix in a single season for the first time since 1982.

The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2023 calendar. It was originally meant to switch its venue from the Sochi Autodrom to Igora Drive, in Novozhilovo, located approximately 54 kilometres (34 mi) from Saint Petersburg. The contract was terminated in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The French Grand Prix was removed from the calendar for 2023, the promoters of the Grand Prix stated that they would aim for a rotational race deal by sharing its slot with other Grands Prix.

The Chinese Grand Prix was initially due to be part of the calendar after last being held in 2019, it was cancelled for the fourth consecutive year due to the ongoing difficulties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Formula One held discussions with venues to replace the Grand Prix, but this did not transipre. The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which was scheduled to take place on 21 May as the sixth round of the championship, was cancelled on 17 May due to flooding in the area.

Regulation changes

Technical regulations

Safety changes

Following dangerous amounts of porpoising during 2022, the FIA introduced changes to the regulations to limit the phenomenon. Floor edges were raised and the throat of the diffuser was also raised. The diffuser edge stiffness was increased and an additional sensor was mandated to monitor the porpoising phenomenon more effectively. Lateral floor deflection tests also became more stringent.

Following Zhou Guanyu's crash at the 2022 British Grand Prix, a rounded top would be required on the roll hoop, which reduces the chance of it digging into the ground during an accident. Additionally, a change was made to ensure a minimum height for the point of application of the homologation test, and a new physical homologation test was introduced where the load pushes the roll hoop in the forward direction, in addition to the pre-existing tests in three other directions. The size of the side-mirrors was increased from 150 mm × 50 mm (5.9 in × 2.0 in) to 200 mm × 60 mm (7.9 in × 2.4 in) in an effort to improve rear visibility.

Weight and fuel temperature

The allowed weight of cars was due to decrease from 798 kilograms (1,759 lb) to 796 kg (1,755 lb), this plan was abandoned. The rules around minimum fuel temperature was changed. In 2022, minimum fule temperature was 20 °C (68 °F). For 2023, the minumum fuel temperature was the lowest of either 10 °C (18 °F) below the ambient temperature, or 10 °C (50 °F).

Aerodynamics

The FIA initially altered the wording of the aerodynamic regulations after Mercedes produced a front wing that exploited a potential loop-hole in the regulations; Mercedes introduced slot gap separators on their front wings at the 2022 United States Grand Prix, although they did not intend to run them at the event. Rival teams argued that the new front wing was illegal, while Mercedes argued that the regulations allowed slot-gap separators as they were "primarily" there for "mechanical, structural or measurement reasons", and therefore any secondary aerodynamic benefit would be allowed. The FIA ruled that the brackets were illegal at the following 2022 Mexico City Grand Prix. The wording of the regulation was altered so that the slot gap separator brackets must perform a structural role, and the sentence explaining that the primary purpose can not be aerodynamic was removed. This rule change was intended to outlaw slot gap separators. It had the opposite effect, legalising slot gap separators which provide structural support; what aerodynamic benefit they provide no longer held any bearing on their legality. Ferrari launched their car, the SF-23 with the slot gap separators.

Sporting regulations

There were only three days of pre-season testing, a reduction from 2022 when there were six days. During the F1 Commission held in February 2023 it was decided to relax the restrictions on team radio communications. The FIA took further steps to relax COVID-19 safety protocols that were first introduced in 2020. This relaxation of restrictions included the removal of the need for proof of vaccination for those working in the paddock. The FIA previously dropped the requirements for mandatory face masking and COVID-testing in 2022.

Tyres

Pirelli announced a change to the available tyre compounds for 2023, as a new compound was inserted between the old C1 and C2 compounds (the hardest two compounds of the 2022 range). This change provided teams with more flexible strategy options after criticism towards the original C1 compound for a large drop in grip compared to the other tyres. Additionally, following criticism over the raceability of its full wet tyre in previous seasons, Pirelli has produced a new full wet tyre in the hope of reducing the need for safety car and red flags in wet race conditions. The new full wet tyre debuted at the Monaco Grand Prix.

With the intention of making tyre usage more sustainable in the future, Formula One trialed a reduction in allocated tyre sets from 13 to 11 at the Hungarian and Italian Grands Prix. It was due to be trialed at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix before its cancellation. During qualifying for these races, teams were required to use the hard-compound tyres in the first segment of qualifying, the medium-coumpound in the second segment and the soft-compound in the third and final segment. Teams are usually free to choose the tyre compound that they run during qualifying.

Sprint events

The sprint format was held at six Grands Prix in 2023, compared to three in 2021 and 2022. During sprint weekends, teams were given a broader choice of parts that they are permitted to change under parc fermé conditions.

The event structure for sprint events was altered. Sprint weekends consisted of a single practice session on Friday, followed by the qualifying session which determined the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix. On Saturday, a new qualifying session called "sprint shootout", in place of the old second practice session, was run, determining the grid for the sprint which took place on Saturday afternoons. The Grand Prix took place on Sunday. The new sprint shootout qualifying was shorter than traditional qualifying: the first segment of sprint qualifying (SQ1) was 12 minutes, the second segment (SQ2) was 10 minutes, and the third segment (SQ3) was 8 minutes long, down from 18, 15 and 12 minutes respectively for qualifying for the Grand Prix. New tyres were mandatory for each phase, with a single set of mediums for each of SQ1 and SQ2, and a single set of softs for SQ3.

The tyre rules for sprint shootout were modified for the second sprint weekend of the season at the Austrian Grand Prix, enabling drivers and teams who made it through to SQ3 to use any set of soft tyres, whereas they were previously required to use a new set of soft tyres. The change was made after Lando Norris could not run in SQ3 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix due to exhausting his allocation of soft tyres.

Points

The 2022 sporting regulations specified that only races which were ended early by a red flag used a points system that gradually increased points awarded based on the completed race distance. This caused confusion at the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix, where full points were awarded despite less than 75% of the scheduled distance being completed, as the race ended under green flag conditions. The wording of the regulation was amended: all races where less than 75% of the race distance is completed would use the sliding scale system to determine the points awarded, regardless of whether they finished under red or green flag conditions. This rule change satisfied the original intention of the gradual scale points system when it was introduced in 2022.

Political gestures

The FIA's International Sporting Code (ISC) was updated to include stricter controls on drivers and teams making "political, religious and personal statements". Article 12.2.1n was introduced stating that drivers and teams must receive the FIA's permission before conducting a political statement or protest and that any protest without permission would be considered a breach of the FIA's neutrality rules. The FIA stated the update to the ISC was done to move it in line with the ethical principles of political neutrality laid out by the International Olympic Committee, which gave formal recognition to the FIA in 2013 through the Olympic Charter. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated that the rule change was made to ensure that the FIA's platform was not used to help fulfil drivers' "private personal agenda".

Following concerns from drivers and teams on how these rules would affect freedom of expression and the ability of drivers and their teams to express views about what they believe to be a worthwhile cause, the FIA clarified in February 2023 that drivers would be prohibited on making political or religious statement on the following: politically sensitive persons living or dead, military or political conflicts, separatist movements, national governments, any statements referencing a key religious figure or any statement that could be deemed offensive to the religious beliefs of the hosting country. Stewards at each Grand Prix meeting will be required to adjudge whether a driver has breached FIA neutrality rules on a case-by-case basis. Drivers remained free to share their opinions regarding political or religious topics without facing potential sanctions on their personal social media platforms or in an official FIA press conference providing it was in response to a media question or outside of a race weekend. Any driver looking for a special exemption from the FIA to make a statement that may contravene the neutrality rules must have notify the FIA four weeks in advance of an event.

Financial regulations

The budget cap was reduced to 135 million United States dollars. It was originally set at US$140 million in 2022 before being increased to US$142.5 million to account for inflation. It was initially agreed by the F1 Commission to increase the cost cap by US$1.2 million to account for additional costs caused by the increased number of races. The commission subsequently agreed to adjust to the level of future cost cap increases to US$1.8 million per race when a calendar is over twenty-one races to account for the greater costs of flyaway races compared to European races. Teams also agreed to give the FIA easier access to factories when cost cap audits are being carried out in order to more easily ensure that teams adhere to the cost cap. A winter shutdown of factories was introduced alongside the existing summer shutdown.

"Special project" divisions

Teams such as Mercedes, Red Bull Racing, and Aston Martin operated "applied technology" divisions which design for and consult on projects outside of Formula One. Since these projects were not related to the teams' Formula One operations, their expenditure fell outside of the cost cap regulations. Between the Canadian and Austrian Grands Prix, the FIA introduced a technical directive that prevented teams from transferring intellectual property from their "special project" divisions to their Formula One operations cost-free, closing a loophole.

Season summary

Pre-season

There was one pre-season test, at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir from 23 to 25 February. Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll missed the test after suffering a "minor" cycling accident during training. He was replaced by reserve driver Felipe Drugovich. Red Bull Racing's Sergio Pérez set the fastest time of the test, while Scuderia AlphaTauri logged the greatest distance.

Opening rounds

Red Bull Racing locked out the front row for the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix, with the two Ferraris on the second row. The much-improved Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso started in fifth. Max Verstappen led most of the race comfortably, winning by eleven seconds ahead of his teammate Sergio Pérez. Charles Leclerc retired with a mechanical failure from third, with Alonso taking this spot, after a late race overtake on Carlos Sainz Jr. Lewis Hamilton finished fifth. Lance Stroll, still racing with a broken wrist and toe, finished sixth, ahead of the Mercedes of George Russell. The points paying positions were rounded out by Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo), Pierre Gasly (Alpine) and Alex Albon (Williams). The result gave Verstappen a 7 point lead in the Drivers' standings, and Red Bull a 20 point lead in the Constructors' standings.

At the start of the race, Verstappen was overtaken by Russell and Hamilton. He regained the lead by lap 12 and led the race comfortably, as Russell retired on lap 18 due to a mechanical issue. Verstappen won the race, followed by Hamilton, Alonso and Stroll, with Pérez finishing fifth with the fastest lap. The Grand Prix broke the record for most red flags, with three, the first following a crash with Alexander Albon, the second following a crash with Kevin Magnussen, and a third following a multi car collision at the restart. The result saw McLaren and Scuderia AlphaTauri score their first points of the season; the McLaren drivers of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finished in sixth and eighth respectively, and AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda finished tenth. Following the race, Verstappen's lead was 15 points over Pérez, and Red Bull's lead was 58 points.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix saw the season's first sprint event. Leclerc secured pole position for both the sprint, and the Grand Prix. Leclerc lead the sprint from pole until Pérez took the lead on the main straight on lap 7, courtesy of the DRS; Pérez kept the lead until the end of the sprint. Leclerc held on to second, Verstappen finished in third, Russell fourth. In the Grand Prix, polesitter Leclerc led the early part of the race. The DRS was enabled on lap three, with Verstappen utilising it to pass Leclerc into the first corner on the following lap. Pérez repeated the same move on lap six to take second place. Verstappen lost the race lead through the pitstop phase, with Pérez making his stop under safety car conditions. Pérez, Verstappen and Leclerc were the top three drivers for the rest of the race as Pérez took his second Azerbaijan Grand Prix victory. This was Leclerc and Ferrari's first podium finish of the season. Following the race, Verstappen's championship lead was cut to six points, with Red Bull extending their championship lead to 93.

At the Miami Grand Prix, Pérez secured pole position ahead of Alonso, Sainz and Magnussen. Verstappen started ninth after failing to set a representative lap time during the final segment of qualifying; Verstappen made an error on his first attempt, his second attempt was curtailed by a red flag, following a crash by Leclerc. In the race, Verstappen was able to quickly overtake cars to bring himself into second, behind Pérez, by lap 17. Verstappen took the lead when Pérez made his pitstop on lap 20, with Pérez inheriting the lead back on lap 45 when Verstappen pitted. Verstappen exucuted an overtake for the lead on lap 47, before pulling away yo take the win, with the fastest lap. The top three was completed by Pérez and Alonso. Following Verstappen's win, he extended his championship lead to 14 points, with Red Bull extending their lead to 122 points.

Verstappen secured pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix, ahead of Alonso, Leclerc and Alpine's Esteban Ocon who were all on provisional pole at some point during Q3. Leclerc was penalised with a three-place grid penalty after impeding McLaren's Lando Norris in qualifying. Pérez crashed in the first part of qualifying, and subsequently started 20th. The race started in dry conditions, with Verstappen able to establish a ten second lead by lap 40. Rain started to fall over the following laps with drivers switching to the intermediate-weather compounds across laps 50 to 55, with some drivers later elected to switch to the new full-wet tyres. Verstappen was able to maintain his lead and secured his second Monaco Grand Prix victory, with Alonso finishing second, his best result of the season. Ocon scored his first podium since winning the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix in third. Pérez was 16th. Verstappen and Red Bull were able to extend their championship leads to 39 and 129 points respectively.

Verstappen secured pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix, ahead of Sainz and Norris. Leclerc, who started the previous year's Spanish Grand Prix on pole, could only qualify 19th, and started from the pit lane after the team elected to make changes to his set-up. Pérez, who was second in the Championship, qualified 11th. Verstappen won the race comfortably ahead of the Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Russell (who started 12th) and Pérez. On his way to victory, Verstappen led every lap, and set the fastest lap, for his third career grand slam. The result meant Verstappen increased his championship lead to 53 points, and Red Bull extended theirs to 135. The double podium for Mercedes moved them to second in the Constructors' Championship, ahead of Aston Martin.

Mid-season rounds

Eventual race winner Max Verstappen leading at the Austrian Grand Prix. It would be his fifth victory in a record-making streak of ten consecutive race wins.

At the Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen secured pole position in rainy conditions ahead of the Haas of Nico Hülkenberg and Alonso; Hülkenberg was demoted to fifth following a penalty. Pérez failed to accuratly assess the conditions, qualifing in 12th. Verstappen went on to dominate the race, taking Red Bull Racing's 100th victory in Formula One ahead of Alonso and Hamilton who had a tight battle for the final podium position. Russell was fourth. Verstappen's 41st victory moved him to joint 5th on the all-time list, tied with Ayrton Senna. Red Bull's championship lead was extended to 154 points, Verstappen's lead to 69.

Verstappen also took pole at the Austrian Grand Prix, both for Sunday's Grand Prix and for Saturday's sprint. Pérez briefly took the lead at the start before Verstappen successfully overtook him at turn 3 on the opening lap. Verstappen would led every lap to take victory. Pérez dropped to third behind Hülkenberg, before overtaking him around the halfway point on his way to second. Sainz was third. In the race, Verstappen led away from Leclerc and Sainz. Leclerc would briefly lead the race after opting to pit under a virtual safety car, whilst Verstappen did not. Leclerc became the first driver since Pérez at the Miami Grand Prix to lead a lap other than Verstappen, who quickly passed Leclerc to regain the lead. Verstappen took his fifth consecutive victory ahead of Leclerc, who scored his best finish of the season, and Pérez, who recovered from starting 15th. Verstappen and Red Bull extended their respective leads to 81 and 199 points.

The British Grand Prix saw an improvement from McLaren, who brought car updates to the event, as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri qualified in second and third, respectively. Verstappen took his fifth consecutive pole position, whilst Pérez qualified 16th, failing to make it into the final part of qualifying for the fifth consecutive race. Norris made the most of a good start and overtook Verstappen into the first corner. Verstappen re-passed Norris on lap 5 and held on to take his sixth consecutive Grand Prix victory, whilst Norris recorded his best finish of the season finishing second. Hamilton made the most of a safety car to jump Piastri and finish in third place, a record-extending 14th podium at one venue. Pérez finsihed sixth. The result saw the lead in the Drivers' Championship extend to 99 points and the lead in the Constructors' Championship extend to 208 points.

The Hungarian Grand Prix saw Nyck de Vries replaced with Daniel Ricciardo due to poor performances. Hamilton took pole position, his first since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. It marked his ninth pole position in Hungary, a record for most poles at a single circuit. Verstappen qualfied second with Norris third. Hamilton lost out at the start to Verstappen, and was passed by the two McLarens of Norris and Piastri. Verstappen won to become the fifth driver to win seven races consecutively. Hamilton repassed Piastri late in the race and finished fourth, with Pérez jumping the pair into third from ninth with Norris in second. Red Bull Racing set a new record for most consecutive victories for a constructor with twelve, beating the mark of 11 set by Mclaren in 1988. Verstappen's lead was extended to 110 points, with Red Bull leading the Constructors' Championship by 229 points.

The Belgian Grand Prix saw the return of the sprint format, with Verstappen being the fastest qualifier for both the Grand Prix and sprint race. He was given a five-place grid penalty for the Grand Prix for exceeding the allocated number of gearboxes, so Leclerc was promoted to pole in his pleace. A rain shower postponed the start of the sprint by 30 minutes, with the sprint starting behind the safety car and all drivers on the full-wet tyres. Most of the field changed to the intermediate-wets when the safety car pulled in, with others, including Verstappen electing to stay out. Verstappen instead changed tyres on the following lap, but lost a position to Piastri, would had pitted a lap earlier. Verstappen was able to chase Piastri down and overtake him for the sprint win. In the race, Pérez took the lead off Leclerc on lap 1. Verstappen was able to dispatch of Leclerc on lap 9 for second. He was then able to chase down and overtake Pérez for the lead by lap 17. From there Verstappen was able to pull away to victory from Pérez and Leclerc. The result allowed Verstappen to extend his lead to 125, and Red Bull extended their lead to 256.

At the Dutch Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo suffered a broken metacarpal bone in a crash while trying to avoid the McLaren of Piastri who had crashed ahead of him. As a result, Ricciardo withdrew from the weekend, being replaced by Red Bull Junior Team driver Liam Lawson. Verstappen took pole for the third year running in Zandvoort, with Norris in second and Russell in third. Rain fell on the first lap, which saw drivers pit for inters in the early stages. As a result of the early change in tyres, Pérez led by lap 5, from the Alfa Romeo of Zhou Guanyu and Gasly. Verstappen undercut Pérez on the change back to dry-weather tyres on lap 13. From there, he kept the lead for the rest of the race. More rain fell in the closing stages, with multiple drivers being caught out by the tricky conditions at turn 1. Pérez went off, glancing the barrier and losing second place to Alonso.
