 Test, test. Welcome everyone in this new video, I hope you're doing great, happy new year, all my best wishes for 2023. Speaking of 2023, I can't wait to get the F1 season to start again, the winter break is great but I miss watching races. Today, what to expect in 2023? I've put four points on my board, please if you have any more points or things that you expect in 2023, leave them as a comment, I'll read them and there's gonna be more video coming up very soon about 2023 but for now, those are my four points of 2023 and what to expect. So first one Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. Yes, I see Mercedes coming back into the title fight while I see Red Bull staying on top even though they've got less winter than anyone else because of their position and championship as well as their penalty for breaching the cost cap. I think Ferrari is gonna have a strong car game and I think Mercedes is gonna be up there with them so that is actually that's the thing I'm the most looking forward to is seeing those three top things every weekend fighting for pole position and wins. If we get that, we're gonna be jumping on a sofa like crazy because there's gonna be some good races and good racing on track. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong the rules for 2023 haven't changed that much, the cars need to be raised a little bit more, the floors are gonna be tightened and the rule up is gonna be stronger but the rules are staying pretty much the same which make me feel that Red Bulls should still be at the front, Ferrari should still have a very good baseline and Mercedes has learned a lot from 2022 and it's gonna be strong next year. Point number two, Piastri vs Norris. I'm excited to see what Oscar Piastri can do in Formula One. He didn't have the best entry with all the Alpine McLaren story, he's in a great car, in a great team next to a very strong teammate that has made the McLaren team his own team so never easy to enter that web, but also a good point as a rookie to come into a team that has an established driver which is pretty young and kind of come from the same background you know Formula Three, Formula Two and no Formula One. So I'm excited to see what Oscar Piastri can do there, I think it's definitely one of those seats that you really want to be in when you get to Formula One so that's something I'm gonna keep an eye on. Number three, talking of young driver, less young driver or more experienced driver, Fernando Alonso. You know how much I love Fernando Alonso, I love his attitude, I love his on-track dedication, his engagement, he drives his 40 plus years old but he drives like he was 22. Every session, every lap, every practice, his full-on, his sliding car, he's going for it and I'm excited to see with Aston Martin what the challenge can be. Is it gonna be a success or is it gonna be a failure? We've seen Fernando Alonso changing a lot of teams through the year, not always for the best, but I'm truly hoping that he's gonna get a good car and give us some of the performances that he's able to do. Remember, Canada qualifying in 2022 is third on the grid, Wales because he's super strong, there was another wet qualifying so it's gone on top of my head but it was off there. Remember, Austin 2022, he flew up in the air with his next future teammate, his future teammate, Lance Stroll, car landed, finished the race, still score points, so absolutely stunning on that one. And then number four, the French duo. I'm excited to see what Alpin's gonna do with two French drivers. It can go bad, let me not lie to you, it can go bad if each of the drivers wants to be their French driver doing their job for their French team, it can go south, but it can also go really well. It can also be that those two guys that were not the best friend in their age have matured a lot, they're both race winners, they have the same palm allies, they both have one race win. If they go on nicely together and they work well, that could be a really cool success story for Alpin. That's my wish, obviously, the French driver, I hope they're gonna go on together nicely, they're gonna do a good job, Alpin's gonna keep building up of that momentum of 2022, finishing fourth in the Constrictor Championship with those two experienced drivers doing a good job, but they need to keep an eye on that relationship between the two because if it starts being a fight, ego fight, a fight to be the best French driver on the grid for the French team, then things can go bad. So those are the four things that I'm really looking forward to see in 2023. Please, I also like, subscribe, make a comment, tell me what you're looking forward in 2023. There is more, obviously, there's Logan Sargent, the American driver coming to Williams, there's Nick DeVries, Fulltime, Zafatory, there's more, but I just picked up four points so we don't stay here for a too long time and those are my points, but make sure that you give me yours and as I say, very soon I'm gonna do some more videos about the top team and what I expect from each of those guys as well as how do we set up a Formula 1 car. Thank you and I'll see you very soon.
