Well the driver line-ups have been confirmed for the 2023 season and it is no surprise that Nyck De Vries will be making his debut for an F1 team.

Pierre Gasly and Fernando Alonso are the ones that caught me by surprise.

[darxiaomi]

I dont know what to expect because we dont know what cars can be really good in the 2023 season, but it gonna be nice to see how far can push Nick DeVries that Alpha Tauri, and destroy Yuki Tsunoda (a bad driver for me).

The most important thing for me its... please Aston Martin make a capable car for Fernando Alnso, i want to see him fight.

And Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant, good luck for both.

It looks like we won't be seeing Goatifi in F1 from now on.    Maybe he was like the worst driver on the grid but the memes about him have been really funny so far. Williams of course have done the right thing by replacing him with a more promising driver like Sargeant. Ocon - Gasly is going to be a really interesting match.    Both of them are ambitious drivers and Ocon had better be ready for a very challenging teammate. By the way I saw a statement by Ocon like he did 98% of the job last season which made me really laugh. 

Alonso was seeming happy to leave Alpine because of Ocon but he isn't aware of another threat like Stroll at Aston Martin.    You know what Stroll did to Vettel in the sprint of Sao Paulo GP. He is just a dangerous driver.

I dont know what to expect

Nobody knows, really. I do hope Piastri and DeVries will do good. I do hope the McLaren cars will be better, but also the Ferraris (plus maybe a better strategy too for 2023, heh).
But all we can do is to wait until the first few races of 2023 will pass.

For now RBR looks strong, the Mercs seem to become really good again, but... I don't want to see yet another Hamilton vs Verstappen year, it's becoming boring, really. I want something different, or something more.

The name of Laurent Mekies pops on more and more alongside Ferrari name so I think the rumors might be true and he might be the next Ferrari chief as he has the internal experience and Ferrari staff already knows him and what is capable off.

Regarding Vasseur , it seems there are important people inside Ferrari who are blocking his way into the team and I do wonder , why is that ? He never had anything against Ferrari so I wonder why this hate against him.

There are also rumors that a female might join this race and her name is Monisha Kaltenborn who has a ton of experience in racing divisions so I would not be surprised by this choice.

[ryzaadit]

some speculation Frédéric Vasseur - Team Principal from Alfa Romeo is the candidate.

But that's just a rumor.

Told u the rumor is real, Fred Vasseur will be replace and join Ferarri ~XD Hoping he also make a big change on Ferarri from Team Strategy to PitCrew. If we want to take World Champion in 2023 Season.

Good luck.

Well ..I'm glad that Ferrari finally have a great mind to lead them but even with Vasseur, I don't see them winning the championship anytime soon. Maybe 3 years from now , when the new hybrid era ends , we might see Ferrari fighting again but for now , RedBull are simply unbeatable and Mercedes are looking for a huge comeback this year.

I'm a Ferrari fan too but I simply hate them because they are doing so many rookies mistakes that I simply cannot watch them anymore.

-snip-

The "Grids" is always unpredictable.

Even "World-cup" we don't really expectation "Asian-coutnry" can beat Europe Team. Everything is possible, especially a team like "Ferarri" who can compete against Redbull & Mercedes.

Now, we just need to see the change on team (Strategy & PitCrew). They also responsible for the failed 2022 season.

It may worth mentioning that Team Principal are being "rotated" these days
* Jost Capito leaves Williams
* Andreas Seidl goes from McLaren to Sauber (Alfa Romeo, future Audi), taking the place freed by Fred Vasseur
* McLaren promotes Andrea Stella as Team Principal

I don't know who will go to Williams, but I am not even be too surprised to see Mattia Binotto's name on the list of possible options

I can't remember when there was so many changes of team principals. And it happened just in one day.
Binotto to Williams? I think it's least possible option from all mentioned in article. I wouldn't be surprised if they will promote someone who is working for team now. But it would be interesting to see Cyril Abiteboul joining Williams.

Pretty nice video from The Race channel about the rapid movements in the roles of all those teams you have just mentioned:
Why four F1 teams changed bosses in less than 24 hours

Who wants Masterplan of BTCinoto ~XD

To be honest, "Binoto" is more good on Engine Development rather than Team Principal. A few statements from his last team like: We are not focused on this champion (Like, he doesn't really care) even we all know there still has some potential, then refused to accept or make a big change/overview on the team.

Acting like there is no something wrong in the team, even he got roasted by Nico.

Nobody its talking about Mick Schumacher as reserve driver for Mercedes in 2023?

And in this moments its when one have to think about have only 10 teams in F1, it can be more easy to drivers to saty if we have at least 24/26 cars. I know this 3 new teams has to have good performance, i dont want a 1 second slower car in the track making only crash and deploying the Safety Car, but it can be good to have more teams.

It went quite in silent and I like the idea of Mercedes to not make a big thing out of it and more likely just let the kid alone to do what he knows best and at some time in future , I'm quite sure he will be a main driver for the team but for now , being a reserve driver is the best solution for him. I can also see him replacing Hamilton in maybe 2 years ? as Hamilton came as a quick replacement for Michael and it seems this time it will be vice versa.

The driver to must watch is PIASTRI.

He is the only one with Leclerc and Russell to be able to win F3 and F2 in consecutive years before approaching the F1.

F1 2023 schedule was announced with the dates to expect the races and their locales.
These can be reviewed below:

Some regulation changes have been given to each team. Just seen them on a video from youtube so of course those have not been officially confirmed by FIA.

Still quite a wait for all of us F1 fans.

Some news in the F1 world when I heard it was something to note for Williams going into the 2023 season.

I haven't watched F1 racing in the last few years.
Maybe in 2023 I will only be able to watch the F1 racing event, even if only in streaming broadcasts from the internet.
I also never took part in betting on F1 racing because in the past I watched it just for fun and to fill my spare time. However, on this year's occasion I will start trying my luck by betting on the F1 racing event.

Norris - Piastri can be a really strong combination for McLaren. Because Ricciardo hasn't been competitive at all for a long time. He was one of the factors dragging down the team despite the car's weaknesses. If McLaren start next season with a more challenging car then I think the new duo can make a much bigger contribution to the team. If Piastri gets used to F1 quickly then I hope to watch an amusing competition between him and Norris. 

Ocon - Gasly are another duo. I wonder how much they will get along. Both drivers are quite ambitious you know. I hope this becomes helpful for the team instead of harming them.
