The 10 Best Drivers In F1 23

Esteban Ocon

Esteban Ocon has shown that he is a good driver by winning the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2021 and finishing on the podium several times, including at the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. The French driver is still racing for Alpine, and his 92 Racecraft and 86 Pace are his best skills.

Ocon, on the other hand, only has 77 Experience, and his Awareness is only 76. This means that he is more likely to get into crashes than other racers. Esteban has an overall score of 86, which is very good for an Alpine driver.

Valtteri Bottas

Valtteri Bottas spent most of his career as a front-runner for Mercedes. He has been on the podium and won races, but now he is driving for Alfa Romeo, which is in the middle of the pack. His 97 Awareness is the best on the grid because he is so safe, which is shown by how carefully his AI moves. His 88 Experience is also a good point, which is mostly due to his time at Williams and the Silver Arrows.

His Pace and Racecraft scores are both 86, so Bottas has a good chance of finishing in the points at any race weekend. His stats give him a total grade of 87, which puts him above most other drivers in the middle of the pack.

George Russell

George Russell was recently moved up to Mercedes from Williams, which was at the back of the line. Unfortunately, he has not yet had the chance to show how good he really is. Still, the British driver has been on the top several times and won a race in Brazil in 2022. His 91 Pace and 87 Racecraft scores show how well he did in these situations.

His lack of knowledge, on the other hand, means that his knowledge stat only goes up to 76, while his tendency to get into accidents on the track gives him an Awareness score of 83. Russel’s overall ranking is 88, which is very good given that he has only raced for a top team for one season.

Carlos Sainz Jr.

In 2022, Carlos Sainz Jr. won his first race, the British Grand Prix, and he was one of the top drivers all year for most third places. The Spanish driver’s stats have been improved since the last game. He now has a strong 92 Racecraft and an 87 Pace.

Sainz, on the other hand, has 84 Experience but only 81 Awareness. This means that he can sometimes have trouble and is more likely to have an accident. Even so, the Ferrari driver is still one of the more competitive cars on the track, as shown by his total score of 88.

Lando Norris

Lando Norris is one of Formula 1’s most skilled and well-known drivers from the last few years. The McLaren racer has been on the podium more than once, and in the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix, it qualified as high as third. His 91 Racecraft and 91 Pace show how fast he is and how well he can pass other players.

He only has a 79 for Awareness and a 76 for Experience, though, so he isn’t perfect in other ways. Lando is still one of the youngest drivers on the Formula 1 grid, but when it comes to speed, he is right up there with the best of them. In general, the authors give Norris a score of 89.

Charles Leclerc

At least for the first half of the 2022 season, Charles Leclerc was Verstappen’s biggest rival in the race for the title. The Monaco driver was soon out of the race because of problems with strategy and reliability, but the young Ferrari driver is still very skilled and has a lot of promise. His 90 Pace and 92 Racecraft show how fast he can be, especially during qualifying practices.

Leclerc’s 85 Awareness and 77 Experience show that he has a weaker side, but he is still a very good driver who is more than capable of getting podiums and winning races. His numbers give him a total score of 89.

Sergio Perez

Since 2011, Sergio “Checo” Perez has shown that he is a high-quality driver who has won races with more than one team. The Mexican driver is often overshadowed by his partner Max Verstappen, so it’s easy to forget how good he is. Perez is one of the best attack drivers in Snow Rider 3D because he has 93 Racecraft and 91 Experience.

Checo’s 87 Pace and 86 Awareness are also very good numbers, making it likely that Perez will be near the front of the line both in qualifying and during the race. Perez has a total score of 89, which puts him among the best drivers on the grid.

Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso’s move to Aston Martin seems to have given him a new lease on life. This season, he seems like the driver he used to be, and his F1 23 stats show that. The two-time world winner from Spain has the highest Experience score of 99, and his Pace score of 93 is also very high.

In the same way, the sly Spaniard has 91 Racecraft, which could be even higher, but his 78 Awareness is a little low. With a score of 92, Alonso is one of the best drivers on the track.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain is the most accomplished driver in the sport since Michael Schumacher. He has won seven world championships and more races than any other driver. This is shown by the fact that his Experience stat is 97 and his Awareness stat is 94.

Hamilton also has 94 Racecraft and 90 Pace, which means he is generally the most balanced of the top drivers. In recent years, the problem has been more with his car than with him as a driver, but his overall grade of 92 still shows how well he has done and how many podiums he has won so far this season.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen, who has won the world championship the last two years in a row, is by far the fastest driver on the grid and will likely be the favorite in most races. The Dutchman’s Racecraft and Pace are the best, with scores of 97 and 95, respectively.

His Experience (84) and Awareness (85) stats have both gone up from last year, which makes sense given how good the Red Bull driver has been in recent years. Overall, the rating for Verstappen’s skills is 94, which is better than any other driver on the grid.
