    The Formula 1 2023 season will witness a record-breaking 23 races, starting with the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 5. The season will conclude on November 26 in Abu Dhabi. Interestingly, there will be a record six Sprint races in 2023. Two-time winner and reigning champion Max Verstappen will be raring to pocket his third World Drivers Championship (WDC). Here's more.

    Las Vegas to make Grand Prix debut in 2023

    There will be only one pre-season test in 2023, in Bahrain from February 23-25. Interestingly, there were supposed to be 24 races in the 2023 calendar, however, the cancellation of the Chinese GP brought the count to 23, with Formula 1 currently considering a replacement. The 2023 edition features the maiden Las Vegas Grand Prix besides six Sprint weekends.

     Six sprint races in the 2023 season

    As stated, there will be a total of six Sprint races in the upcoming season: Azerbaijan GP, Austrian GP, Belgian GP, Qatar GP, United States GP, and Brazilian GP. There were only three such races in 2021 (inaugural edition) and 2022. Verstappen holds the record for most Sprint race wins in F1 (3). He steered clear of Valtteri Bottas (2).

    A look at the 2022 Driver Standings

    Verstappen finished the 2022 season with 454 points in his kitty. Leclerc (308) concluded second, with Perez trailing him at third (305). Russell (275) wound up fourth, with Sainz at fifth (246). Meanwhile, seven-time champion Hamilton sealed the sixth spot with 240 points, way ahead of Norris (122).

    15 Grand Prix wins in 2022

    Verstappen's 15 F1 race wins in a season are the most by an individual in a single F1 campaign. He broke the previous record of 13 races held by Michael Schumacher (2004) and a recently retired Sebastian Vettel (2013) at the Mexican Grand Prix. It's the total number of wins by F1 legends Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in McLaren's near-perfect campaign in 1988.

    5 consecutive race wins in 2022 

    Verstappen secured five successive races midway through the 2022 season, namely the French GP, Hungarian GP, Belgian GP, Dutch GP, and Italian GP, only for the streak to be broken in Singapore GP. It's the joint-fourth-highest streak by a driver in F1. He equaled Jack Brabham (1960), Jim Clark (1965), Nigel Mansell (1992), Schumacher (2004), and Hamilton (2014, 2020).
