Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez have sent separate warnings that Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton will have competition for silverware this season.
It's difficult to pick title favourites before the cars have been tested, but after such a dominant year Verstappen is the undoubted man to beat in 2023. Hamilton was out of the picture last season, but is always expected to play a part in an F1 title race if given a capable car.
Among the other contenders is Perez, who won two races last year but was overshadowed by his record-breaking Red Bull team-mate. Looking ahead to 2023, the Mexican feels he can close the gap to Verstappen.
