During the 2023 season, we have seen great oscillations in performance between teams and individual drivers, and the point gaps reflect what happened.
The teams at the top collected the most points, so it makes sense that the biggest point gap would be between teammates from the top teams like
Red Bull or
Mercedes.
Aston Martin driver
Lance Stroll has been criticized probably as much as Sergio Perez concerning performances below the high standards set by his teammate.
Aston Martin team collected 280 points in the season, out of which 206 has been accumulated by
Fernando Alonso alone. The point gap between
McLaren teammates might also surprise multiple people.
Oscar Piastri has had his rookie season in 2023 and has been praised by multiple F1 experts, some proclaiming him "
the best rookie in Formula 1 since Max Verstappen."
However, the Australian still got outperformed by his teammate
Lando Norris by 108 points. The 2023 season has not been the best for
George Russell.
An outlier in the point gap stats is the
Williams F1 team. The team collected 28 points in total, 27 of which can be attributed to
Alex Albon. His rookie teammate
Logan Sargeant achieved only one point in the season, hence the 26-point gap.
The last thing worth mentioning is the tiny gap between
Ferrari teammates
Charles Leclerc and
Carlos Sainz. Together, they accumulated 406 points in the 2023 season, and both contributed almost equally.
