F1 Without Verstappen: 2023 Standings Without Triple World Champion
F1
The triple World Champion Max Verstappen almost entirely dominated the 2023 season. However, if you wondered how it might have looked without the Dutchman, here is the summary.
Max Verstappen won 19 out of 22 races of the season, led more than 1000 laps, and amassed 575 points throughout the 2023 season.
All the 575 points would be distributed between the remaining drivers on the grid, and you can see what the final Championship Standings table would look like below.
The table illustrates quite well how close the 2023 season otherwise has been. If there wasn't the 26-year-old, there would be 7 different Grand Prix winners from five different teams.
Sergio Perez would have won the Championship 55 points ahead of the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton in second place. Both of these drivers would move up one position compared to their actual result, which you can see in the second table.
A driver that would jump up three positions compared to his actual result is Lando Norris, who would have five Grand Prix victories if there hadn't been the triple World Champion.
Fernando Alonso would keep his fourth place in the Championship either way, as he struggled with performance during the second part of the season, but he would have added three Grand Prix victories to his collection.
Charles Leclerc would also keep his fifth place despite the strong finish to the season, during which he accumulated multiple pole positions and two second-place finishes.
His teammate Carlos Sainz would move up one position in the Championship with an additional 43 points to his name.
All drivers behind Sainz - George Russell, Oscar Piastri, Lance Stroll, and Pierre Gasly would stay in the same order as they are now, only one position up and with more points.
