2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an overall dominant performance last season, Verstappen is expecting a repeat in 2023 after coming away with a Formula One record of 15 wins in a season and the undisputed title of World Champion. The RB18 proved to be no match for the rest of the grid as Verstappen repeatedly battled his way through the pack to finish first a whopping 65% of the time, earning 454 championship points by the conclusion of Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 1 Red Bull found no consistent competition with any of the other constructors and kept a firm grip on the championship standings following his only 2 DNFs of the season at Bahrain and Melbourne. Verstappen is truly the man to beat going into the 2023 season; drivers without a consistently reliable vehicle and discipline behind the wheel will find him an insurmountable opponent on track, unless Team Red Bull finds themselves facing a new, unforeseen challenge with the car this year.

Fails to Exit Q1 in Brazil
Verstappen failed to advance from Q1 during pole qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Interlagos Circuit on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It was a shocking performance to say the least. Verstappen had no pace and lacked grip to post quick flying laps in Sao Paulo. The Red Bull Racing star would end the session P16 and miss advancing into Q2 for the first time in four years. According to reports, the team have replaced the power unit and completely rebuilt the car under parc ferme. If so, Verstappen will start from pit lane Sunday and face an uphill battle to challenge for a podium in Brazil.
