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.

Wins Italian Grand Prix
Verstappen converted pole position into victory during Sunday's Italian Grand Prix, leading home McLaren pair Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after a dramatic start and end to proceedings at Monza, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Verstappen and Norris would battle wheel-to-wheel in the opening laps and while Norris would initially get past the Red Bull Racing star he would eventually give P1 back to him on lap 4. From that point on Verstappen would build a solid lead and move out to control the front. His lap 37 pit stop would see Norris take the lead for 9 laps, but Verstappen would soon retake the lead for good once the McLaren star made his pitstop. He would cruise to a 19-second margin of victory and
