Wins Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Verstappen claimed a lights-to-flag victory in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, while Lando Norris closed the gap to title rival Oscar Piastri to 25 points after the Drivers' Championship leader crashed out on the opening lap, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Verstappen would do a good job at the lights out covering Carlos Sainz going into turn 1. From there he'd control the pace and stretch his advantage with a long opening stint on hard tyres. Verstappen would have a comfortable 32-second advantage over George Russell by his lap 40 pit stop. He'd rejoin once again in the lead and cruise to 14-second victory over the Mercedes star at the checkered flag. It was the Red Bull Racing star's fourth win of the season and 67th-career victory.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an overall dominant performance last season, Verstappen is expecting a repeat in 2023 after coming away with a Formula One record of 15 wins in a season and the undisputed title of World Champion. The RB18 proved to be no match for the rest of the grid as Verstappen repeatedly battled his way through the pack to finish first a whopping 65% of the time, earning 454 championship points by the conclusion of Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 1 Red Bull found no consistent competition with any of the other constructors and kept a firm grip on the championship standings following his only 2 DNFs of the season at Bahrain and Melbourne. Verstappen is truly the man to beat going into the 2023 season; drivers without a consistently reliable vehicle and discipline behind the wheel will find him an insurmountable opponent on track, unless Team Red Bull finds themselves facing a new, unforeseen challenge with the car this year.
