As the ongoing exciting 2023 F1 season slowly nears it’s end. Let’s discuss about the 5 racers with the most wins in 2023.And if you may wonder that why, there are 5 racers on the defeat section contradicting the fact that defeat not only means the losing of a GP race.But it states defeat in the sense of losing points too. As The F1 community actually judges the points system as a win lose criteria.So ,let’s take a look.
1. Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez
On the first place in the list is Max’s Red Bull teamate and partner in crime,’Checo’.This season’s only other driver to claim a victory other than Verstappen, he sits at number 2 on the championship table.Securing two victories at the Abu Dhabi and Azerbaijan GP and picking up points in all the races, Sergio had gained a total of 189 points.Although there is a large difference in his and Max’s points. Most of Max’s victories had come with his assists, as he protected Max from other drivers.By even sacrificing his own accomplishments for the team.
Although he is currently number 2 in the Championship race, but he is no.1 in defeat because of his continuous 2nd place finishes. In the races, he was just behind Max Verstappen, the winner, but did not contested him for a win due to team principles.So,he became the second or more far placed driver in these races.
So, guess what? We can call it a defeat!
