Running the numbers to see how thrilling this rather mundane season would be if Red Bull wasn't in the mix.
Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen have dominated the 2023 Formula 1 season and are firmly set for a fully-deserved sweep of the championship titles.But a closer look at the F1 races so this season, and there have been enthralling battles behind the leader. Different faces have traded places, and superb scraps for position have taken place.

What would the F1 2023 season look like—and how would the battles for the wins have unfolded—if Red Bull Racing was removed from the picture, and we had an 18-car grid.
