A new Formula 1 season is nearly upon us.

After Max Verstappen and Red Bull's domination last year, will we see new winners at the conclusion of this campaign?

Which F1 drivers have changed teams in 2023?
Pierre Gasly has a new home this year, moving to Alpine on a multi-year deal following Fernando Alonso's departure from the Renault-owned team.
After being demoted by Red Bull in 2019, the Frenchman has rebuilt his confidence, notably winning the 2020 Italian Grand Prix with AlphaTauri.

Alonso will remain on the grid in 2023, moving to Aston Martin.
The veteran racer and two-time F1 world champion has filled the seat of the now-retired Sebastian Vettel.
Nico Hülkenberg, meanwhile, is making a comeback this season, signing with Haas.
The American-owned team parted ways with Mick Schumacher at the end of 2022, opting for the more-experienced Hülkenberg to pair with Kevin Magnussen.
How many new drivers are making their F1 debut in 2023?
We will see three drivers make their full-season debuts in F1 this year.
Oscar Piastri is arguably the headline coup, replacing fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren. The 21-year-old comes into the sport having won F3 and F2 in consecutive seasons (2020 and 2021).

Young American Logan Sargeant will also make his debut, suiting up for Williams. He is the first driver from the United States to race in F1 since Alexander Rossi in 2015.
Rounding out this year's debutant pool is Nyck de Vries. The 28-year-old has been on the edges of F1 in recent years, and will finally get his first full-time opportunity at AlphaTauri this campaign.
Notably, he filled in for Williams' Alex Albon at Monza last year, picking up an impressive P9 in his race debut.
