Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 - Season Finale - Results
Warning: this post may contain spoilers
And the 2023 Formula 1 Season has ended!
This isn't a spolier this "late" in the game, so congratulations to Red Bull Racing Honda RBPT for winning the 2023 World Constructors' Championship, and their driver Max Verstappen for the winning the 2023 World Drivers' Championship. Plus all the other records Max has smashed this year—talk about domination!
The 2024 schedule is out and the first GP is February 29 - March 2 in Bahrain.
Pre-season testing will also be in Bahrain, Feb. 21-23 (the week prior). We usually get a little bit of sneakpeak, I think.
Anyway, enjoy the break, everyone. I know I'll enjoy not waking up at odd hours or not sleeping for F1 sessions for a few months! See you all -- according to David Coulthard -- in 97 days for testing!
