F1 fans have witnessed four races in the 2023 season. Red Bull won all four and its drivers exchanged victories. Max Verstappen leads the drivers’ title by six points over teammate Sergio Perez. Based on the first three races, a supercomputer from  BonusCodeBets has made some predictions. The results are pretty startling.

Red Bull has had a fantastic start to the season, winning all four races. They are dominating the Constructors’ Championship by over 100 points. And it’s tough to see anybody else challenging the Austrian team’s supremacy. Red Bull’s dominance will be maintained according to the supercomputer. It predicted,” Max Verstappen will win the Drivers Championship with Red Bull also picking up the Constructors Championship.”  Max Verstappen (1/9), taking his third title will be trailed by Sergio Perez(1/12) followed by Fernando Alonso(1/18) in third.

On the other side, Ferrari has had a disastrous start to the season, posting their lowest results in almost two decades in the first three races. However, the team rebounded with a pole and podium finish in the fourth round. Thanks to Charles Leclerc. Despite their dismal start to the season, Ferrari(1/22) is expected to finish second, according to the supercomputer. A spokesperson from BonusCodeBets said “There are still 20 races to go. At the moment, we’ve got Ferrari ahead of the Silver Arrows and Aston Martin.”

Mercedes has had a disappointing start to the season. They are matching Aston Martin’s speed and presently trailing them in the Constructors’ Championship. Lewis Hamilton has similarly struggled to regain his form and has been winless for the past 16 months. The supercomputer forecasts that he will finish fourth, one spot ahead of his teammate, avenging his last season. “We thought Mercedes would have put up more of a fight,” the spokesperson said. 

McLaren has likewise had a slow start to the season, with no points scored in the first two races. The team gained double points during the Australian Grand Prix, aided by an eight-car DNF. The supercomputer believes that rookie Oscar Piastri will surpass Lando Norris. But how the driver hierarchy in the Woking Team will emerge remains to be seen.

The season is long, and anything can happen in the remaining 20 races. As the supercomputer puts it, “Both markets for Drivers and Constructors look tight if you take Verstappen, Perez, and Red Bull out of the equation.” It will be fascinating to see if the predictions come true or if the remaining races have some surprises in store for us.
