Athletistic/Formula 1. The 2023 Formula 1 season is one of the busiest in recent years. But there were also races in which fans did not see cars overtaking on the track.

Races like Monaco and Montreal have had drama that captivated fans, but there have also been dull Grands Prix that failed to live up to expectations.

Below is a list of the 5 Formula 1 races that recorded the fewest on-track overtaking events during the 2023 season:

#1 Monaco Grand Prix (13)

The Monaco Grand Prix is ​​the jewel of the Formula 1 calendar and is renowned for its iconic circuit. It also attracts various celebrities on weekends. However, this Grand Prix is ​​known for having the least overtaking, given the narrow and winding nature of the track.

A total of 13 overtakes were made at the Monaco Grand Prix during the 2023 season. However, given the weather conditions, fans have shown some interest.

#2 Canadian Grand Prix (17)

The Canadian Grand Prix captured the attention of fans thanks to the exceptional driving of Fernando Alonso and Alex Albon in the race. The Williams driver’s exceptional defensive abilities prevented the cars behind him from overtaking him. As a result, there were only 17 exceedances in Canada. Albon finished seventh, which was a sensation, Alonso finished second. Max Verstappen won.

#3 Hungarian Grand Prix (17)

The Hungarian Grand Prix was considered one of the most intriguing before the start of the race, as Lewis Hamilton took pole position. But he quickly ran out of steam and was no longer able to compete. In the end, he didn’t even make the podium, finishing fourth behind Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Sergio Perez. Fans only witnessed 17 overtakes during the entire race.

#4 Azerbaijan Grand Prix (18)

Surprisingly, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix turned out to be one of the most boring races of the season. Despite the fact that the straight was almost two kilometers long, only 18 overtakes were made during Sunday’s race. It is also one of the rare Grands Prix that Max Verstappen failed to win. Sergio Perez won and the Dutchman finished second.

#5 Bahrain Grand Prix (22)

The first race of the season was certainly a success from a historical point of view, but not from a track point of view, with only 22 overtakes recorded in total over 56 laps. However, the race was not without its memorable moments, with Fernando Alonso taking the podium on his Grand Prix debut for Aston Martin.
