Now that the season is starting, after two races we starting to see how team rivalries will start to flourish. 2022 was a year full of changes not only a new car and new regulations, the drivers market had a lot of action too with drivers moving between Scuediras and also new drivers on 2023.
2023 Season could turn out to be a season full of internal battles instead of team battles, some of this drivers don't even go together like Gasly and Occon we know in the past this two had troubles on the track same for Hulkenberg and Magnussen, plus those who are looking to shine Carlos Sainz against Charles Leclerc.

Aston Martin
I believe this could turn out to be the most productive team of this season, Lance Stroll finally can learn from one of the best driver still probably on his most productive years, Lance is a good driver and has demonstrate that given the correct car can set himself in the high mid grid, 80% of the drivers on the grid with the correct car has the skills to generate great outcome, they are not at F1 for nothing. Its on Lance best interest to let Alonso shine and learn the most he can from him, Alonso under the right circumstances is a great partner and for now Lance is no threat to him unless he crash on him like Lance did on the first race jajajaja.
This team will do great things on 2023 and 2024, with the right car, time to develop on the wind tunnel and the new factory coming up their goal is to be champions by 2025 but for now Aston Martin in my opinion will be the most productive even if Red Bull wins the tittle.
- First year at the top of the grid
- No real threat between drivers
- Second best car on the grid
- Both drivers are podium material
If things spice up between other team drivers, we could have both Aston Martin taking podium lets say probably at Monsa.

Alpyne
I seriously cant wait for this two to go at each other, got to be honest I dont like any of them, but from the too Ocon is the worst, selfish, prepotent, reckless the guy walks around like he is the best driver on the grid. Ocon make Alonso season at Alpyne hell to the point Alonso didn't think twice before moving out when a seat was available at Aston Martin, besides team boss Otmar Szafnauer baby sits Ocon, in my opinion Gasly is better driver than Ocon and in the first two races he is on top since Ocon DNF Bahrain but at some point this two are going to clash and the results wont be good for the team, this two probably will be responsible for a lot of carbon fiber on track and a few safety cars.

Scuderia Ferrari
This year Ferrari change their team Boss because of all the strategy and internal team problems they had last year, they also had reliability issues but strategy decisions are worst problems than an engine blowing up. It seems Charles Leclerc has a black cloud over his head because he just cant get rid of his car having reliability problems as he didnt finish Bahrain and started at 10 position because of a control unit replacement already on the second race, he just cant make things happen with Ferrari, some might say its the team fault, some might say he has no luck at Ferrari but behind doors there are many things that could let to this errors and here goes the question WHY Carlos doesnt have as many incidents or mistakes than Charles, he have also demonstrate that he wont follow silly team orders, stop INVENTING gentlemen, from the two drivers I always thought Carlos is the best. Charles could have that natural talent and be faster but when it comes to decisive moments Carlos shine brighter than Charles, he ended 2022 fifth with 245 points and Charlse second with 308 but this year he is already 4th and Charles 8th with a big disadvantage when it comes to replace parts, lets see how Carlos holds up for the rest of the season.

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1
Two mayor revelations to Mercedes on this past month, first James Allison is back the man responsible for the great W12 and many of the other cars that help Sr. Lewis Hamilton win many championships, second even on F1 the most stupid mistakes are made, they find out that the model car on the wind tunnel had out of spec parts meaning the car in production is not the same as the one in the wind tunnel meaning simulations are totally different that the track car.
Back to topic, it has been said that George is performing better than Hamilton not because he is a better driver but because he is better at driving crappy cars, think about it he use to drive a Williams to then jump to crappy Mercedes, its all about adapting your driving style if possible to the car but in the case of Hamilton he have been spoil with many great cars through 7 titles that he probably forgot how to drive a crappy car. This is another team that I really don't know how things will develop, for example lets say the exceed their budget cap because if I were Mercedes I would and let the FIA set a punishment, I wouldn't care as long as I can get back to the top four besides Mercedes has the money. Mercedes come up with a new concept and now Hamilton has the tools he has been asking for and brings the fight to George, none of them will back out and Hamilton has been so open about the team that Tottol already said that in the future he wants to move out he respects his decision, two years ago I'm sure Totto would not say the same thing. I want Mercedes to get back to their days of glory, I don't want Red Bull to dominate and make it boring.

Red Bull Racing
If Sergio "Checo" Perez had any chances in his career as F1 driver to win a Driver Champion is NOW!!! After helping Max to win two championships and now have a dominant car, this is the time he could not start but ONLY think about himself, FUCK the team, FUCK Max and go for the head shot.
But knowing how Max is, I post the other day
"From how I see Red Bull 2023 this could be Checo and Max this year with Dani having flashbacks from the pit"

Max could easily go Verstappen mode and intentionally crash Checo or run over him as he did with Hamilton to make a point.
Sergio will have to stay cool for the next 21 races, stay ahead, keep his engineers and mechanics close since Max and his father will do what ever it takes for him do not become a thread for Max third drivers championship, this two could also spread a bunch of carbon fiber over the track.
This are my predictions for 2023 F1 season, it will be more about the internal battle between drivers that will make the difference for the drivers championship rather than battles between teams, this happens from time to time and we could se fire works before we get to Spain. I hope Australia race stays clean between gentlemen but who knows.

I don't want to see this type of incident again but the possibilities are very high.
