The 2023 Formula 1 season will enter history as the single most dominant season by a driver in the history of the championship.

Max Verstappen blitzed all before him to win 19 times from 22 races, and four of the six Sprints to boot.

From the Miami Grand Prix in May to the Abu Dhabi finale in November, only Carlos Sainz in Singapore and Oscar Piastri in the Qatar Sprint saw the finishing line ahead of the Dutchman.

RacingNews365 has delved into the history books to see how just dominant Verstappen's season was, with 18 records either being set or equalled by the Red Bull driver.
