Which 2023 intra-team battles are you looking forward to?
Discussion
Now we know the full line-up for next year. Which intra-team battles are you looking forward to seeing unfold?
First on my list is Lando vs Piastri. If Lando dominates, as I expect him to, then his stock just continues to rise and rise. If Piastri can get on terms with him, then Piastri proves his worth in F1. If he bombs, will Alpine feel that they had a lucky escape? Many unanswerable questions of course.
Russell vs Hamilton will be interesting to watch unfold, particularly if the Merc is properly competitive, world driver’s championship wise from the outset. If that’s the case, then I’m thinking it’ll be more akin to Rosberg vs Lewis than Bottas vs Lewis.
Alonso vs Stroll is next up for me. How long will it take for that one to sour? Different context for Alonso given the ownership and his progeny.
Hulk and K Mag have history as we know, but they are both different beasts now. Will/can they work together?
Ocon vs Gasly has a whiff of TNT about it. Ocon can be brutally aggressive as we have seen, but will Gasly have him covered speed wise? I fear if they are evenly matched it might be 2022 rinse and repeat.
De Vries vs Tsunoda. I think NDV might just overwhelm him. I’m looking forward to seeing what NDV can do over a season.
I see status quo at RB and Ferrari. Anything I’ve missed? And anything you’re looking forward to seeing unfold?
Edit: apologies should have been intra-team.
Mods if you have a heart could you correct the thread title please?
