      F1 driver line-up 2023: Who is racing on the Formula One grid next season?

      by

      THE 2022 F1 season is racing along with Max Verstappen leading the championship.That has led to plenty of talk about the 2023 Formula One campaign and who will be racing for each team. Here is everyone that has been confirmed so far as the 10 teams look to strengthen.
      Max Verstappen and Lando Norris will stay at Red Bull and McLaren next season
      Red Bull
      Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
      Reigning world champion Max Verstappen is signed for Red Bull until 2028 and Sergio Perez penned an extension until 2024 after the Monaco Grand Prix.
      Red Bull have been utterly dominant in 2022 and see no reason to change their driver line-up for next season as they look to continue their stranglehold on sport.
      Verstappen will more than likely be a two-time F1 world champion by the time 2023 comes around.

      Mercedes will retain Lewis Hamilton and George Russell for 2023 and will hope their car can be more competitive.
      The new regulations for 2022 have cost the team with Red Bull and Ferrari now ahead of the Silver Arrows in the pecking order.
      Many believe 2023 could well be Hamilton’s last year in the sport but Mercedes will definitely want to keep him if he wants to continue his glittering career.

      Ferrari
      Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz
      When they linked up in 2021 Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were the youngest line-up Ferrari had ever had.
      Both will race for the Prancing Horse in 2023 and will hope for better from their team who have made a number of errors with their strategy.
      Ferrari will need to deliver for their drivers next season or they could be tempted to move elsewhere as they are both out of contract at the end of the year.

      McLaren
      Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri
      Lando Norris has a contract with McLaren until 2025 and is unquestionably the driver who leads the team.
      All the drama has been around the second seat though with McLaren ending the contract of Daniel Ricciardo a year early to bring in fellow Australian Oscar Piastri.
      Alpine thought they had an agreement in place for the driver they have backed throughout his career but Piastri signed a deal with McLaren instead.

      Esteban Ocon is confirmed for 2023 after he signed a multi-year deal last season after an impressive start.
      Alpine were desperate to keep Fernando Alonso but were not willing to budge on offering him a one-year deal which meant he opted to shock them and sign with Aston Martin.
      Alpine then announced Oscar Piastri only for him to take to social media and state he wouldn’t be driving for them.
      The smart money is on Pierre Gasly joining the team from AlphaTauri and making it an all-French affair.

      Fernando Alonso shocked Alpine by letting the world know he was joining Aston Martin to replace the retiring Sebastian Vettel.
      The Spaniard joins Lance Stroll who has the safest seat in F1 with his father owning the team.
      Aston Martin will hope Alonso can make a difference in helping the team move further forwards on the grid.

      Yuki Tsunoda has had a more encouraging season and with Gasly leaving he could have more chance of keeping his seat.
      Red Bull junior Liam Lawson could also be a name worth monitoring if AlphaTauri do lose Gasly.

      Though the driving starlet has yet to win a Grand Prix, there seems to be plenty for Russell to be getting excited about in his career.
      But his personal life is flourishing nicely too, as Russell’s girlfriend is investment broker Carmen Montero Mundt.

      Who is Carmen Montero Mundt?
      Mundt has been in a relationship with Russell since 2020, months after the latter finished things with his ex-girlfriend.
      Russell split with former flame Seychelle de Vries, who is the sister of ex-Mercedes academy team-mate Nyck de Vries.
      Not much has been said in public by Russell about Mundt, who has been pictured alongside her man at F1 races on numerous ocassions.
      Mundt was a student at the University of Westminster and studied for a degree in business management and finance.
      After graduating, Mundt took up a job working for investman firm W1 Investment group as a client relationship intern.
      But she moved onto Ruffer LLP in 2022, becoming an investor relations associate.

      Since making things official with Russell, the pair have travelled the globe together thanks to the Brit’s driving exploits.
      But they’ve holidayed for pleasure too, as the pair were pictures soaking up the sun in St Barts last year.
      They also attended the premiere of James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ in 2021.
      And after Russell’s move to Mercedes, Mundt posted on Instagram to congratulate her partner on his big move, writing: “All smiles. So proud @georgerussell63.”
