Lewis Hamilton will finish in the top three in Catalonia
Red Bull’s dominance in the 2023 Formula 1 season has been unbalanced, but perhaps one of the most striking stories so far this season has been poor performance by Mercedes. Hamilton has not been able to face other teams and has had a secondary role in this campaign, although that could change in Barcelona.
The English driver is the all-time winner of this race, having won six times, although he has not won since 2021. While imagining that Mercedes will beat Red Bull is difficult, Hamilton’s knowledge of the circuit and his own driving skills make it plausible that he could at least finish on the podium.

Verstappen will be the owner of the fastest lap in the entire circuit
There has not been any driver who can stand up to Max Verstappen so far in the 2023 Formula 1 season. The fact that Red Bull has the best car in the competition is also a factor that plays in the driver’s favor. 25 years old, who won on this circuit last season.
In that light, it shouldn’t be surprising if Verstappen manages to set the fastest lap in the entire race. He has already done it twice so far this season and is the only driver to have posted the fastest lap in a race on more than one occasion.

Surprise at Red Bull and victory for “Checo” Pérez over Verstappen?
Red Bull is the team of the moment in Formula 1 and has won the six races that have been held so far on the 2023 season calendar.
But, although Verstappen is the clear favorite to be the first to see the checkered flag after his triumph in Barcelona in 2022, what Sergio “Checo” Pérez can do should not be ruled out. He has already won two races, the Saudi Arabian and Azerbaijan GPs, and at least he will give the Dutchman the fight.
Owner of two wins and two second places so far this season, if there is someone who can make a splash it is the Mexican, who also finished second on this circuit in 2022.
