Jenson Button is expecting an "epic" 2023 season in Formula 1 as the sport enters the second season with its current technical rules.
In recent seasons, the constructors' championship has rarely been a close-run affair. Red Bull ran away with the title this year as Ferrari's challenge spluttered and stalled while, during the Hybrid Era which began in 2014, Mercedes were the undisputed kings of the sport.
The Silver Arrows won by a margin of more than 250 points in four of the seasons between 2014 and 2020 and all of them by at least 83. The only season in which the constructors' title race has gone down to the final race, out of the last nine, was in 2021 when Mercedes held on despite Max Verstappen pipping Lewis Hamilton to the drivers' crown.
