Breaking the F1 2023 tracks into the following categories: Elite Great Good Hard to love Jury still out How did we get on? 😬
We all have our favourite F1 tracks, and we put our heads together here at PlanetF1.com to think about where we rank each of them on the 2023 calendar.
With an iconic blend of high-speed corners such as the Ascari Chicane, Parabolica and the two Lesmo corners broken up with chicanes and hard-braking zones, overtaking is always possible and, as should always be the aim in Formula 1, simply being fast is key.Along with the circuit next on this list, Spa often shows up as being at the top of the drivers’ favourite tracks in Formula 1.
How late dare they brake into Spoon Curve? How much speed can they carry through the Degners? Do you try a pass at the final chicane? . Nailing a qualifying lap around the streets of Monaco, particularly in the ever-growing Formula 1 cars of today, must still be up there with the best feeling any driver can have.
With solid overtaking opportunities and a big challenge for both driver and car, as one Daniel Ricciardo might say: “Well done, Baku.”“We need more tracks like this in F1, because this is ****ing awesome” was George Russell’s assessment after his first laps around Imola upon its return to the calendar, and it’s hard to disagree with him.
It remains a challenging circuit for the drivers to navigate, but with good overtaking opportunities down the back straight and entertaining races more often than not, Montreal is onto a winner.On paper, this looks like the easiest track layout the drivers have all year – and the official Formula 1 game lists the Red Bull Ring as ‘Very Easy’ on its difficulty rankings, but that is not necessarily a barrier to great racing.
Wet weather is always a possibility too, and we have seen some excellent racing around Singapore in the past, and it really can separate the good from the great.Austin’s Formula 1 track was circuit designer Hermann Tilke’s attempt at recreating some of the best parts of other circuits from around the world, and putting them together into one super-design.
But with a re-working of the layout to make the temporary street track faster last year, there could yet be room for further improvement on the racing side of things at Albert Park which could boost it further up the rankings in future.A fixture on the Formula 1 calendar since 1986, the Hungaroring is possibly the layout among today’s F1 tracks which you could argue most resembles a karting circuit.
Like the Hungaroring, the narrow width of the circuit does not lend itself well to constant wheel-to-wheel racing, but the challenge of the track and its layout makes up for what it can sometimes lack in action.Saudi Arabia arrived in Formula 1 with its hope of creating the world’s fastest street circuit in Jeddah. It did so, but with one significant flaw: it’s very, very dangerous.
The removal of the chicane in the final sector to recreate the final sweeping right-hander of years gone by may be a starting point, with the track homologated with both layouts, but Formula 1’s official website still has the chicane layout listed for now.While the spectacle of racing around Florida brought out the stars in Miami, first impressions weren’t great when it came to the actual racing on the circuit in 2022.
The re-profiled, twisty final sector through the Foro Sol Stadium is spectacular to look at, but you get the feeling the former sweeping final right-hander of Peraltada would be the drivers’ choice of layout, if they were given the option.It may host the season finale year after year, but beyond that, it is tricky to find a place in the heart for Abu Dhabi in the pantheon of current F1 tracks on the calendar.
