The majority of Formula 1 grands prix in 2023 may have ended with the same result, but chaotic moments caused by ever-changing weather fronts or brilliant on-track action meant some events still managed to keep us on the edge of our seats.
A rare non-Red Bull victory in Singapore was perhaps a standout moment for many, but as was the series’ return to Las Vegas — racing under the lights of world famous landmarks certainly brought its fair share of drama. But did the money-fulled spectacle beat out the classic on-track action of Zandvoort or Monza? It’s up to you to decide!

Singapore Grand Prix
Ferrari win in Singapore — the only non-Red Bull grand prix victory of 2023
The only race Red Bull didn’t win came to a nail-biting end as leader Carlos Sainz fended off two snarling Mercedes — by slowing down, which gave second-placed Lando Norris DRS assistance to defend.
Las Vegas Grand Prix
Leclerc looks to pounce on Perez in Las Vegas
Some were sniffy about F1’s plans to blast down The Strip — not least Max Verstappen — but even the cynics admitted that the Las Vegas GP delivered an action-packed show under the city’s lights.

Zandvoort’s 2023 edition started with a dry race, but under brooding skies. Rain predictions were soon confirmed as spots fell on ‘lights out’, and from there chaos ensued.
Italian Grand Prix
Ferrari took pole, but Verstappen was patient on his way to victory
Red Bull’s iron-grip win-streak looked at one point like it might not be beaten in 2023, but Carlos Sainz and Ferrari made a good go of taking them on in Monza, in a fierce battle which enthralled viewers.
