Largest To Smallest: Summary Of Point Gaps Between F1 Teammates In 2023
F1
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.
However, the gap between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez is the biggest gap between the first and the second place in Drivers' Championship Formula One has ever seen.
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.
The Mercedes driver was at least happy to secure second place in the Constructors' Championship for his team by amazing performance and a bit of luck during the last race of the season, which he said made up for everything in 2023.
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.
