Red Bull may be well out in front, but the margins elsewhere on the grid are closer than ever. Here's why 2023 is building up to be one of the closest F1 campaigns yet - just not at the very front [Prime]
OPINION: It may not look like it from afar, but the 2023 Formula 1 season is building up to be one of the closest campaigns in years – just not at the very front. Behind the Red Bull domination, the margins are closer than ever. And judging by what played out in Australia, this is having a remarkable impact on the pack.Red Bull’s dominance of Formula 1 this year poses a clear risk of being a turn-off for those who think there is no point tuning in on a Sunday to watch the same team win.
Now, that has all been wiped away and there is literally nothing that separates a bunch of squads from a weekend of Q3 and points joy to one of Q1 exit misery. The swings of positions that come from finding a couple of tenths with the latest upgrade, or the pain that is triggered from a lock-up on a final qualifying lap, are extreme and brutal for those on the losing end.
