😉 | We bet you never saw this one coming. It's time to crown the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 Champion as Mahaveer Raghun..... sorry Max Verstappen!

🏆| The greatest season that Formula One has ever seen, not only did Verstappen re-write the record books, his dominance was so immense they had to be re-started from scratch. A dominance seen like no other, a third World Championship crown for Verstappen seemed inevitable from the get go.

🥇| A record 19 wins is unfathomable, when the record stood at 13 just two years ago, with a historic ten victories in a row - breaking a record many thought would never be broken. 1000 laps led in a season, the highest percentage of wins, the most wins from pole position, the list can go on and on.

☝️| Verstappen is crowned DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 Champion for the second year in a row, just how many more years will this achievement stand?

👋 | And that's it, your DIVEBOMB 50 is complete, stay tuned for next years list, and the Power Rankings at the end of each month in 2024! We hope you enjoyed the series and stay tuned for the DIVEBOMB 2023 Awards.

🥈| Presenting your runner-up in the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50.....

2️⃣ - 🇪🇸 | In the most competitive racing series in the world, one man stood clear of the rest, in one of the most dominant seasons his sport has seen. The first driver to wrap up the title before the final race in 16 years, Alex Palou stole the show in 2023, claiming his second NTT INDYCAR SERIES title.

🏆| A year which saw five wins, including an incredible three in a row in Detroit, Road America and Mid-Ohio, Palou saw a finish no lower than eighth, whether on a road course, street course, short oval or superspeedway. 10 podiums in 17 races was sensational in such a highly regarded series, as he established himself as IndyCar's best.

💪 | Whatever was thrown at Palou - a dislodged front wing, being hit in the pitlane, he would recover mightily, showing experience well beyond his years in his ability to gain the result he needed, it never looked like he wouldn't become champion.

🥉| The podium places for the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 are finally here, as the team share their picks for the best drivers of 2023.

3️⃣ - 🇬🇧 | In Formula E's toughest, craziest and most thrilling season yet, Gen 3 was a walk into darkness, the ultimate challenge, but one stood out from the rest. Sheer consistency was vital in such an unpredictable series, critical into Jake Dennis' maiden World Championship.

🏆| In a 17-round season, Dennis stood on the podium steps 12 times, with 13 finishes inside the Top 4. For comparison, the next highest podium total was eight. Dennis started the season perfectly by winning in Mexico City, with his other 2023 victory coming in Rome, just as the championship battle looked tougher for him. 8 out of 9 podiums in the final nine races of the year was remarkable and set the Brit right on his way to the title.

👏 | Maybe Formula E's most consistent champion yo date, Dennis never slowed down from the get-go, with the new tracks being his only real achilles heel over the course of Season 9. He scored nearly 10x the amount of points as his teammate, and almost outscored seven teams by himself.

⏰️ | The DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 is on the verge of the podium positions, but before so we need fourth in the list....

4️⃣ - 🇪🇸 | Fernando Alonso might be 42, but he rolled back the years in 2023, with what is arguably his best season in a decade, being the highlight of the opening rounds of the year, with his immense speed only adding to his infinite wisdom.

🏆| Alonso was the star of the show in the opening half of the year, taking home six podiums in the first eight races, and being the only figure who could even get close to the dominant Red Bull's. A further podium in the tricky conditions at Zandvoort showed the master at work, whilst his third place in São Paulo was extraordinary after his battle with Sergio Pérez.

👏 | Maybe a fourth in the standings was harsh for Alonso, who made the most of the AMR23 at it's peak performance, and then continued to extract the maximum across the second half of the season, when the car was often fifth-fastest, ending the season with almost triple the points of teammate, Lance Stroll.

⏰️ | It's time to enter the Top FIVE for the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50, as the team countdown their best drivers of 2023.

5️⃣ - 🇬🇧 | Lando Norris continued to establish himself as Formula One's best drivers in a topsy-turvy 2023 season. But when things fell in place for Norris, he was absolutely mighty, one of a very select group who could lay a glove on the mighty Max Verstappen as his worth continues to grow.

🏆| A slow start to the season as the McLaren MCL60 took a while to develop, once Norris and the team started firing on all cylinders, picking up seven podiums, including six runner-up spots as Norris continues to wait for his first win, but evidence of 2023 suggested that's coming very soon.

💪 | A mighty example to rookie teammate, Oscar Piastri, Norris showed his strength at many rounds, in particular Brazil, COTA, Suzuka and Marina Bay.

⏰️ | It's almost time to enter the Top Five in the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 but first of all we enter Number 6 in the standings...

6️⃣ - 🇬🇧 | Another case of how important experience is in Motorsport, Lewis Hamilton proved that he's still amongst the best in Formula One, despite a car he was outspokenly critical of and the dominant Red Bull RB19, Hamilton ended 2023 a mighty third in the standings despite fierce competition from Aston Martin, McLaren and Ferrari.

🏆| Another frustratingly winless year doesn't take away from some of Hamilton's impressive performances. A first pole at the Hungaroring since 2021, and six podiums across the season, including three runners-up spots.

👏 | Ending 2023 as best of the rest, Hamilton, despite often having the third or fourth strongest car extracted the Maximum of his Mercedes W14, beating teammate George Russell by 59 points in the standings and five positions.

😋 | The DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50 is REALLY reaching the business end of the standings, with only seven more drivers to go....

7️⃣ - 🇳🇿 | He may be 43 years old, but Scott Dixon shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, as he continues to establish his legacy as IndyCar's greatest, one of very few who could even get near Álex Palou, and pulled off some super-human challenges to overcome the most improbable of circumstances.

🏆| Dixon's year was highlighted by consistency, a solitary finish outside the top seven occurred when he collided with Pato O’Ward when competing in the Top 5 at Long Beach - unbelievable consistency in the world's most unpredictable series. Three wins from the final four races rounded out his mighty season in impressive fashion, with a further three podiums - his total only bettered by Álex Palou and Pato O'Ward, and a second place in the standings.

🤯 | But it's Dixon's miracles that get him so high in the Power Rankings 50. After being spun on Lap One at the Gallagher GP, Dixon pulled off an audacious fuel-saving strategy to see out Graham Rahal, whilst the race after, at Gateway, he went for the unfavoured three-stop and when others failed, Dixon showed his wise approach - even further so when he won the chaotic season finale at Laguna Seca.

8️⃣ - 🇫🇮 | It's been a long time coming, but Finland finally lay a claim on the DIVEBOMB 50 with their WRC superstar, Kalle Rovanperä who once again showed age is just a number, taking home a second WRC title, at the age of just 23.

🏆| A season which included victories in Portugal, Estonia and Greece, 2023 saw Rovanperä hold a 34 point gap to Elfyn Evans, the second placed man, with the Finn featuring in the Top 4 in all events bar his home race in Finland.

☝️| IT'S SINGLE DIGITS in the DIVEBOMB Power Rankings End of Year 50, as the team start to select their champions.

9️⃣ - 🇨🇭🇳🇿🇯🇵 | It was a championship crowning year for the #8 Toyota Gazoo Racing Team of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa, extending Toyota's five-year Championship Streak, and defending the #8 car's crown.

🏆| Consistency was the watchword for the crew, they took only two victories, at Portimão, and the season finale at Sakhir, but four second places, including at the Le Mans 24 Hours ensured six top two finishes from seven races, crowning the team champions by a comfortable 27 points.

👀 | The team aim to claim back the Le Mans 24 Hour in 2024, after Ferrari beat it to them this time, and to emulate their championship success this year, continuing with an unchanged line-up, will it be unchanged success?
