In F1 23, fans can rest assured that these cars are nearly unmatched in terms of speed.

While each of these cars can easily exceed 200mph at top speed, few tracks will afford them the opportunity to do so. Other factors such as how fast the car can approach and turn through corners contribute to reducing overall lap time. Track-for-track, these cars are capable of achieving the fastest possible lap times around each circuit, and few other cars can match them.
