Rain is called the great equalizer, where driver skill matters far more than machine. 2023 has been particularly wet for F1 – main sessions and races have been hit by rain.

In the rain this year, like every year, Max Verstappen, known as the greatest ‘Rainmeister‘ since Ayrton Senna, has excelled, schooling the opposition.

Will Verstappen school his opposition again, giving him 9 straight wins and tying the record of Sebastian Vettel?
