Preview of the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix 2023

Here are key takeaways from past races that might tend to influence the outcome of the upcoming race, the Belgian grand prix. The twelfth contest on the 2023 Formula One schedule will occur this weekend. Max Verstappen has distinguished himself throughout the year, and the question of whether he will ever be overtaken keeps coming up.

Record-breaking Red Bulls racing team

Red Bull Racing won for the 12th time in a row in Hungary, breaking a Formula One record. To keep the team’s spotless 2023 record, Max Verstappen won his seventh race in a row, breaking McLaren’s 1988 record of 11 straight victories. It’s a fantastic achievement for the builders because the record stood for 35 years, and who knows how long they will be able to keep it going.

Lando Norris is posing a legitimate threat

McLaren’s Lando Norris has been a revelation lately. The British and Belgian driver again finished as P2 in the just concluded Hungarian grand prix. Although he has a lot to work on as he has fallen back a bit from his first P2 finish in the British GP. Once more, McLaren has succeeded in doing what the automobile could not. Norris now has two consecutive P2 finishes in the last two races. Given how well he is driving, the McLaren driver’s ascent to the lead has been smooth. As Norris continues to win these podiums and rack up the points, he has emerged as a new superstar.

Return of Sergio Perez to the podium

Sergio Perez, who started ninth on the grid, finished third at the finish line thanks to a strong drive. He was overjoyed to be back in the top three. Perez cannot taste the world title this year, but if he can keep up his recent performance, he will at least comfortably clinch second place in the championship. Perez clinched P3 in the just concluded Hungarian Grand Prix as McLaren continues to dominate Formula 1 this year.

Alpine continues to struggle.

Alpine has once again been declared DNF (Did Not Finish) for the second time in a row. When Zhou Guanyu struck Daniel Ricciardo on the opening lap, the AlphaTauri rammed into Ocon, and the rear axle of the Alpine flew into the air, causing Ocon and Gasly to become involved in an accident. This meant both Alpines had to be retired due to damage. As a result, Alpine maintains its position as the sixth-place constructor in the standings with 47 points. They are having a nightmare of a season.
