As he has done for the majority of 2023, Max Verstappen cruised to a comfortable victory in the season-ending Abu Dhabi GP.
The world champion scampered away from the start and slowly edged away from the chasing pack lap after lap, completing what has been a nearly perfect season as he led over 1000 laps across the whole campaign.
Sergio Perez crossed the line in second after Leclerc let him past to try and hold up George Russell and get second in the constructors' for the Scuderia with Perez having a five-second penalty.
His smarts did not work, however, as Russell stayed close enough to finish third and earn Mercedes the silver medal.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri claimed fifth and sixth to round off a good season for McLaren while Fernando Alonso pipped the Brit in the drivers' standings thanks to a late pass on Yuki Tsunoda.
The most dominant season of all time
19 wins from 22 Grand Prix is a simply ludicrous record that we might never see again in F1.
Add to that a pair of second places in Saudi Arabia and Australia means it was only Verstappen's fifth in Singapore where he was beaten by a non-Red Bull driver.
Many will call it boring but you cannot deny the brilliance of the driver and the incredible car and team supporting him.
For F1's sake, there needs to be a team or team-mate challenging the three-time world champion in 2024 when Red Bull's wind tunnel penalty really hurts them.
Will it be Ferrari? Mercedes? McLaren? It really doesn't matter as long as someone does it.
