By:

Red Bull has achieved historic levels of dominance in Formula 1 during the opening half of the 2023 season. That it broke McLaren's 35-year-old record to secure 13 consecutive wins is a sign of just how all-conquering it has been.

But, aside from seeing whether the squad can end the year unbeaten, there is plenty else to keep an eye on during the second half of the campaign.
