F1 2023, all the single-seaters, drivers, circuits and dates – Corriere.it

Season 2023 Of Formula 1 it is going to start. The March 5th we take to the track in Bahrain for the first Grand Prix of the year with Max Verstappen called to defend his world title, the one he conquered overwhelmingly in 2022. Last year the Dutch Red Bull driver annihilated the competition from Ferrari and Mercedes race after race, despite a start that seemed to smile at the Reds.

Before the debut in BahrainHowever, there will be space for testing the new single-seaters: an intense two days, from 23rd to 25th February on the circuit of Sakhir (Bahrain), which will give the teams the opportunity to test the improvements made to the cars during the winter break.

With more Grands Prix and sprint races, the spending limit introduced with the budget cap is growing: compared to the 140 million euros in 2022, this season the teams will be able to spend up to 155 million, an amount that can be waived depending on the events.

In addition to the cars, the teams also present some innovations. If the names for Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull and Alfa Romeo remain unchanged, the other teams change something. With Sebastian Vettel having decided to retire, Aston Martin is relying on another veteran like Fernando Alonso who leaves his seat at Alpine to the French Pierre Gasly who, in turn, frees up a seat for the young Dutch Nyck DeVries at Alpha Tauri. Williams greets Latifi and a chance for the American Sargeant. Young couple with a bright future at McLaren where the talented Plates joins Lando Norris. Experience and reliability at Haas which confirms Magnussen and takes the 35-year-old Hulkenberg in place of Michael Schumacher’s son.

The new single-seaters

The single-seaters are ready and almost all of them have already been presented to the public.

As for the Ferrari SF-23, unveiled on Valentine’s Day, there seems little news, but the decisive details are hidden. The engine should be more powerful and solid, with a new front suspension and shorter nose for a quicker wheelbase.

Also presented was the new Mercedes W14 which loses the classic silver livery for opaque black, a choice that would be dictated by a clear saving in terms of weight.

The first to come out of the closet was the Red Bull RB19 with the event on February 3 in New York in which the next collaboration with Ford (which returns to F1 after 20 years) starting from 2026 was also announced.

February 6 was the turn of the Williams FW45, dedicated to the historic manager and founder Franck Williams.

The new McLaren MCL60, with the new ex-Ferrari team principal Andrea Stella, wants to be part of the top teams. The theme song is a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the team founded by Bruce McLaren; the car called to redeem a disappointing 2022.

The Aston Martin Amr23 F1 will be Fernando Alonso’s last team. Driven by Mercedes engines, fresh from seventh place in the constructors’ championship.
