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.

Runner-up in Singapore
Verstappen finished second in the Singapore Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Marina Bay Circuit on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The Red Bull Racing star would start on the outside pole and begin the race on soft tyres hoping to make a quick overtake of George Russell. That gambit would pay off as he'd fall in behind Russell and trail him to his lap 19 pit stop. Verstappen would complain over the radio at times about his downshifting and having problems with the car. However, the reigning world champion would overcome those obstacles and hold off a tight challenge from Lando Norris down the stretch to secure an impressive runner-up finish at the Marina Bay Circuit.
