The Best Race Of The 2023 F1 Season? Here’s What The Fans Think

Posted on December 2, 2023 | by Charley Williams We don’t think we have ever seen so many F1 fans agree on one topic. But the ‘what was the best race of the season?’ question seems to have brought many of us together to all share the same thoughts.  Across our social media channels, the clear favourite was the Singapore GP. For many reasons, it was the one race this season that Red Bull was finally taken from the top step of the podium, as Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz executed his win brilliantly with a clever and calm approach. Fans loved how he helped former McLaren teammate Lando Norris stay on the podium while also boosting his chances of a victory. It was some of the closest racing we have seen across the season, with both Mercedes chasing down Sainz and Norris. Don’t forget the last lap drama of George Russell’s turn 10 crash. The Las Vegas GP seems to follow closely behind. After the cancellation of FP1 when Sainz’s Ferrari took significant damage from a loose drain cover and fans who had paid a lot of money to be there were eventually kicked out of grandstands instead of being able to watch a delayed FP2, there was a moment where it looked like F1 may have gone a step too far in hyping this event up to the max. But they pulled it off and delivered an action-packed race, a battle for the lead, with plenty of good, clean racing up and down the field. Oh, and let’s not forget Charles Leclerc’s last lap lunge for the final podium spot – what a move! And, perhaps the underdog of the picks – but still had a fair few mentions, was the Dutch GP.  No shortage of action in Zandvoort, huh? Besides it being Liam Lawson’s F1 debut after Daniel Ricciardo had an unfortunate incident during FP2, which resulted in breaking his hand, it was one of Max Verstappen’s most difficult victories this year, as he had two downpours and a red flag to contend with. The rainy drama mixed with good and bad strategy calls, a resurgence from Fernando Alonso and an unexpected podium for Pierre Gasly has to be in the mix, right?
