Heartbreak in Monaco
Verstappen was forced to retire from the Monaco Grand Prix F1 race before completing a lap at Circuit de Monaco on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Verstappen pulled out an impressive qualifying performance to line up second on the grid, only four one-hundredths of a second off the pace of Kimi Antonelli. While it was anticipated that Verstappen would push Antonelli for the lead and the win, he was barely able to get his car off of the starting line. Red Bull announced that the issue was caused by a power unit failure, an issue that will be corrected in time for the upcoming Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an overall dominant performance last season, Verstappen is expecting a repeat in 2023 after coming away with a Formula One record of 15 wins in a season and the undisputed title of World Champion. The RB18 proved to be no match for the rest of the grid as Verstappen repeatedly battled his way through the pack to finish first a whopping 65% of the time, earning 454 championship points by the conclusion of Abu Dhabi. The driver of the No. 1 Red Bull found no consistent competition with any of the other constructors and kept a firm grip on the championship standings following his only 2 DNFs of the season at Bahrain and Melbourne. Verstappen is truly the man to beat going into the 2023 season; drivers without a consistently reliable vehicle and discipline behind the wheel will find him an insurmountable opponent on track, unless Team Red Bull finds themselves facing a new, unforeseen challenge with the car this year.
