Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #39 Thomas Preining

Thomas Preining had already marked himself out as a future champion during his rookie DTM season in 2022 with the single-car Team Bernhard operation. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he delivered on that promise in his sophomore campaign this year after being given a plum seat at…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #36 Ash Sutton

Sutton had what the stats books will tell you was a record-equalling season in the British Touring Car Championship. But what was more important to him was the manner of his fourth crown, and the fact that he became the first to win it in both front and rear-wheel-drive machinery.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #34 Raffaele Marciello

On his GT3 Mercedes swansong, Marciello was nothing if not consistent. The only driver to qualify in the top three at every GT World Challenge Europe Sprint round earned a record-extending 14th series pole at Misano after his Brands Hatch masterclass.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #32 Tom Blomqvist

Three wins in IMSA’s GTP class with Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura was a strong return, but a repeat of Tom Blomqvist’s 2022 DPi title success with new team-mate Colin Braun was denied by a 200-point deduction for the tyre data manipulation that tainted the team’s Daytona 24 Hours triumph. Even…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #29 Liam Lawson

After two solid but inconclusive seasons in Formula 2, a move to Super Formula was exactly what Lawson needed to fully convince Red Bull of his qualities as a genuine F1 prospect, and he stunned the Japanese establishment with a historic debut win at Fuji.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #27 Filipe Albuquerque

Filipe Albuquerque once again pulled double duty across IMSA and the WEC with the WTR Andretti Acura LMDh and United Autosports LMP2 teams respectively. The Portuguese was a race winner in neither arena (though took a maximum points score behind a non-registered car in WEC), but as always was a…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #26 Oscar Piastri

Second in qualifying at Suzuka of all places – the first time Oscar Piastri had visited the fearsome track – summed up why McLaren was so impressed with the rookie, who scored two podiums (and should have had another at Silverstone but for a safety car) and that excellent win…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #23 Ryan Blaney

The 29-year-old third-generation driver for Team Penske didn’t look like a Cup championship contender early in the season. But when it counted the most – in the playoffs – Ryan Blaney and his #12 Ford team were at their best.

Autosport

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #21 George Russell

On qualifying performance, George Russell was 11-11 in the head-to-head against Lewis Hamilton, but the younger Briton was often outgunned by his more experienced Mercedes team-mate in the races. Overall, Russell termed 2023 as “one of the worst seasons of my career” as Mercedes failed to make the strides it…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #20 Shane van Gisbergen

From the start of the year, Shane van Gisbergen made it crystal clear that he was no fan of the new Gen3 Supercar and, after disqualification from a season-opening win in Newcastle on a technicality, he was playing off the back foot all season.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #17 Mitch Evans

Magazine: 140-page Christmas double issue

We’re not going to pretend it was difficult to decide on our number one slot in this year’s Top 50. But behind the obvious there was the usual mix of debate, frustration and moving people around until the final deadline meant the conversations had to stop.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #14 Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc proved largely inseparable from Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz in 2023 as their car’s characteristics swung from favouring one to the other. But his form in the last two races moved him ahead in the championship.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #9 Jake Dennis

Eleven Formula E podiums – including two victories – were the backbone to Dennis’s title-winning campaign. The Andretti driver began the new Gen3 era in style with a dominant win in Mexico City, and he was second in both Diriyah races before a barren run of nearly three months (and…

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #8 Nick Cassidy

Just as impressive as taking four wins in Formula E, which put Nick Cassidy firmly in title contention, was that the first three victories came from eighth or lower on the grid, the Envision driver optimising Jaguar’s powertrain on race day.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #7 Antonio Fuoco

There were times when Fuoco’s pace aboard Ferrari’s 499P Le Mans Hypercar was nothing short of astounding in the WEC.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #6 Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton appeared downbeat at the season’s end, frustrated at the lack of Mercedes' progress after falling off its perch. But he comprehensively beat team-mate George Russell.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #5 Fernando Alonso

Think back through Fernando Alonso’s long Formula 1 career. Once he’d become a race winner with Renault 20 years ago in 2003, his star potential was clear. Then, rather a lot changed.

Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #3 Lando Norris

Outside of the Red Bull-Ferrari-Mercedes triumvirate, Lando Norris was the only driver to manage a podium finish in 2022, with his third place at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. When McLaren limped out of the starting blocks in 2023 with a car in dire need of an aerodynamic overhaul, Norris…
