Who's the fastest driver in Formula 1 over one lap? What are Red Bull's weaknesses? And why aren't the current rules working as hoped?

Those are among the seven things we've learned from the 2023 season discussed on The Race F1 Podcast, where host Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and special guest Sean 'Virtual Statman' Kelly.

As Kelly's involvement suggests, each of the topics gets a rigorous statistical going over to back up our learnings from what was, despite Max Verstappen's omnipresence at the head of the order, actually an incredibly close F1 field.

There's also a look at what Fernando Alonso has achieved beyond his best overall finish in the turbo-hybrid era and the numbers that back up Oscar Piastri's fine maiden season.
