Following Zhou Guanyu's crash at the 2022 British Grand Prix, a rounded top would be required on the roll hoop, which reduces the chance of it digging into the ground during an accident. Additionally, a change was made to ensure a minimum height for the point of application of the homologation test, and a new physical homologation test was introduced where the load pushes the roll hoop in the forward direction, in addition to the pre-existing tests in three other directions. The size of the side-mirrors was increased from {{cvt|150x50|mm}} to {{cvt|200x60|mm}} in an effort to improve rear visibility.{{cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/everything-we-know-about-the-2023-formula-1-season-drivers-cars-tracks-more/10401315/|title=Everything we know about the 2023 Formula 1 season: Drivers, cars, tracks & more|website=Autosport|date=2 December 2022|access-date=12 December 2022|archive-date=24 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230224142504/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/everything-we-know-about-the-2023-formula-1-season-drivers-cars-tracks-more/10401315/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-still-eyes-in-car-video-screens-to-replace-mirrors-but-faces-key-hurdles/10405534/|title=F1 still eyes in-car video screens to replace mirrors, but faces key hurdles|website=Motorsport.com|date=28 November 2022|access-date=27 February 2023|archive-date=28 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230228002538/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-still-eyes-in-car-video-screens-to-replace-mirrors-but-faces-key-hurdles/10405534/|url-status=live}}

The FIA initially altered the wording of the aerodynamic regulations after Mercedes produced a front wing that exploited a potential loop-hole in the regulations; Mercedes introduced slot gap separators on their front wings at the 2022 United States Grand Prix, although they did not intend to run them at the event. Rival teams argued that the new front wing was illegal, while Mercedes argued that the regulations allowed slot-gap separators as they were "primarily" there for "mechanical, structural or measurement reasons", and therefore any secondary aerodynamic benefit would be allowed. The FIA ruled that the brackets were illegal at the following 2022 Mexico City Grand Prix. The wording of the regulation was altered so that the slot gap separator brackets must perform a structural role, and the sentence explaining that the primary purpose can not be aerodynamic was removed. This rule change was intended to outlaw slot gap separators.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-formally-outlaws-mercedes-slot-gap-separator-trick/10409278/|title=FIA formally outlaws Mercedes slot-gap separator trick|website=Motorsport.com|date=8 December 2022|access-date=8 December 2022|archive-date=18 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218092929/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-formally-outlaws-mercedes-slot-gap-separator-trick/10409278/|url-status=live}} It had the opposite effect, legalising slot gap separators which provide structural support; what aerodynamic benefit they provide no longer held any bearing on their legality.

Pirelli announced a change to the available tyre compounds for 2023, as a new compound was inserted between the old C1 and C2 compounds (the hardest two compounds of the 2022 range).

With the intention of making tyre usage more sustainable in the future, Formula One trialed a reduction in allocated tyre sets from 13 to 11 at the Hungarian and Italian Grands Prix. It was due to be trialed at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix before its cancellation. During qualifying for these races, teams were required to use the hard-compound tyres in the first segment of qualifying, the medium-coumpound in the second segment and the soft-compound in the third and final segment. Teams are usually free to choose the tyre compound that they run during qualifying.{{cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-to-trial-tweaked-qualifying-format-in-2023/10264787/|title=F1 to trial tweaked qualifying format in 2023|website=Autosport|date=2 May 2022|access-date=18 August 2022|archive-date=18 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220818202710/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-to-trial-tweaked-qualifying-format-in-2023/10264787/|url-status=live}}

The event structure for sprint events was altered. Sprint weekends consisted of a single practice session on Friday, followed by the qualifying session which determined the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix. On Saturday, a new qualifying session called "sprint shootout", in place of the old second practice session, was run, determining the grid for the sprint which took place on Saturday afternoons. The Grand Prix took place on Sunday. The new sprint shootout qualifying was shorter than traditional qualifying: the first segment of sprint qualifying (SQ1) was 12 minutes, the second segment (SQ2) was 10 minutes, and the third segment (SQ3) was 8 minutes long, down from 18, 15 and 12 minutes respectively for qualifying for the Grand Prix. New tyres were mandatory for each phase, with a single set of mediums for each of SQ1 and SQ2, and a single set of softs for SQ3.{{cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-2023-f1-sprint-format.583WHWKbWVVBemPKi6pJxH.html|title=Explained: Everything you need to know about the 2023 F1 Sprint format|website=Formula 1|date=25 April 2023|access-date=25 April 2023|archive-date=5 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230505113417/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.explained-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-2023-f1-sprint-format.583WHWKbWVVBemPKi6pJxH.html|url-status=live}}

The tyre rules for sprint shootout were modified for the second sprint weekend of the season at the Austrian Grand Prix, enabling drivers and teams who made it through to SQ3 to use any set of soft tyres, whereas they were previously required to use a new set of soft tyres.

The 2022 sporting regulations specified that only races which were ended early by a red flag used a points system that gradually increased points awarded based on the completed race distance. This caused confusion at the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix, where full points were awarded despite less than 75% of the scheduled distance being completed, as the race ended under green flag conditions. The wording of the regulation was amended: all races where less than 75% of the race distance is completed would use the sliding scale system to determine the points awarded, regardless of whether they finished under red or green flag conditions.

Following concerns from drivers and teams on how these rules would affect freedom of expression and the ability of drivers and their teams to express views about what they believe to be a worthwhile cause, the FIA clarified in February 2023 that drivers would be prohibited on making political or religious statement on the following: politically sensitive persons living or dead, military or political conflicts, separatist movements, national governments, any statements referencing a key religious figure or any statement that could be deemed offensive to the religious beliefs of the hosting country. Stewards at each Grand Prix meeting will be required to adjudge whether a driver has breached FIA neutrality rules on a case-by-case basis. Drivers remained free to share their opinions regarding political or religious topics without facing potential sanctions on their personal social media platforms or in an official FIA press conference providing it was in response to a media question or outside of a race weekend. Any driver looking for a special exemption from the FIA to make a statement that may contravene the neutrality rules must have notify the FIA four weeks in advance of an event.{{cite web |last1=Suttill |first1=Josh |title=FIA clarifies free speech rule and possible penalties |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/fia-clarifies-driver-free-speech-rule-and-possible-penalties/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230217201805/https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/fia-clarifies-driver-free-speech-rule-and-possible-penalties/#disqus_thread |archive-date=17 February 2023 |access-date=14 February 2023 |website=The Race |publisher=The Race Media}}

The budget cap was reduced to {{Currency|135 million|USD|passthrough=yes|linked=yes|first=yes}}. It was originally set at {{Currency|140 million|USD|linked=no|passthrough=yes}} in {{F1|2022}} before being increased to {{Currency|142.5 million|USD|linked=no|passthrough=yes}} to account for inflation. It was initially agreed by the F1 Commission to increase the cost cap by {{Currency|1.2 million|USD|linked=no|passthrough=yes}} to account for additional costs caused by the increased number of races. The commission subsequently agreed to adjust to the level of future cost cap increases to {{Currency|1.8 million|USD|linked=no|passthrough=yes}} per race when a calendar is over twenty-one races to account for the greater costs of flyaway races compared to European races. Teams also agreed to give the FIA easier access to factories when cost cap audits are being carried out in order to more easily ensure that teams adhere to the cost cap. A winter shutdown of factories was introduced alongside the existing summer shutdown.{{cite web|url=https://www.racefans.net/2023/02/21/f1-adds-1-2-million-to-teams-cost-cap-allowances/|title=F1 adds $1.2 million to teams' cost cap allowances|date=21 February 2023|access-date=22 February 2023|archive-date=22 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230222110348/https://www.racefans.net/2023/02/21/f1-adds-1-2-million-to-teams-cost-cap-allowances/|url-status=live}}

Teams such as Mercedes, Red Bull Racing, and Aston Martin operated "applied technology" divisions which design for and consult on projects outside of Formula One. Since these projects were not related to the teams' Formula One operations, their expenditure fell outside of the cost cap regulations. Between the Canadian and Austrian Grands Prix, the FIA introduced a technical directive that prevented teams from transferring intellectual property from their "special project" divisions to their Formula One operations cost-free, closing a loophole.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-cost-cap-loophole-closed-off-by-fia/10486591/|title=F1 cost cap loophole closed off by FIA|website=Motorsport.com|date=23 June 2023|access-date=23 June 2023|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|archive-date=23 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230623100610/https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-cost-cap-loophole-closed-off-by-fia/10486591/|url-status=live}}

McLaren had started the season poorly, as one of the slowest cars in the field, before an upgrade at the Austrian Grand Prix propelled them up the field.{{Cite web |last=Anderson |first=Gary |author-link=Gary Anderson (motorsport) |date=21 December 2023 |title=Gary Anderson's verdict on each F1 team's 2023 performance |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/gary-anderson-season-review-f1-2023-every-team-performance/ |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=The Race |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Hooper |first=Alasdair |date=21 December 2023 |title=End of year report: McLaren enjoyed an incredible in-season turnaround and have high hopes for 2024 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-mclaren-enjoyed-an-incredible-in-season-turnaround-and.3c6biJAsKTHHeC3au1J0lp |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}}{{Cite web |last=Majendie |first=Matt |date=27 November 2023 |title=F1 season review: Doom and gloom for Mercedes but McLaren transformed |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/formula-one/formula-one-2023-season-team-review-mercedes-mclaren-ferrari-red-bull-b1123215.html |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=The Standard |language=en}} McLaren's team principal Andrea Stella was lauded by McLaren CEO Zak Brown as a "tremendous leader" in his first season directing the team,{{Cite web |date=30 November 2023 |title=Brown hails impact of 'tremendous leader' Stella in first year as McLaren team boss |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/brown-hails-impact-of-tremendous-leader-stella-in-first-year-as-mclaren-team.5UmVC9hVprCAnymtWTj2uw |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} and Piastri won the FIA Rookie of the Year for a season which was described as "phenomenal".{{Cite web |date=18 December 2023 |title=Watch: Rookie of the Year Oscar Piastri discusses his phenomenal inaugural season in F1 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/watch-rookie-of-the-year-oscar-piastri-discusses-his-phenomenal-inaugural.3gMH2qGZTnTsZgTxXjZfZR |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} Aston Martin started the season as Red Bull's closest challenger amid a substantial improvement from 2022, with Alonso regularly on the podium in the opening third of the season.{{Cite web |last=Seymour |first=Mike |date=20 December 2023 |title=End of year report: Aston Martin's fast start faded but 2023 still brought plenty of positives |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-aston-martins-fast-start-faded-but-2023-still-brought.1R39HpdXQayYGiHzZnJ5Ww |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} However, mid year car developments did not work as planned and the team's relative performance dropped substantially across the remainder of the season. Alpine's season was another one which was described as being disappointing,{{Cite web |last=Hooper |first=Alasdair |date=19 December 2023 |title=End of year report: An eventful, inconsistent year for Alpine – but a host of new A-list backers |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-an-eventful-inconsistent-year-for-alpine-but-a-host-of.3kcGb9o1I2JYpg4vwIqDmk |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} The team's season was described as being compromised by a mid season managerial change; the team did have ambitions of finishing fourth but ended up a "distant" sixth.

Williams' season, in which they finished seventh in the constructors standings, was described as "promising" based on their improvement from 2022, when they finished tenth.{{Cite web |date=18 December 2023 |title=End of year report: Progress for Williams as they look to build on a promising 2023 campaign |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-progress-for-williams-as-they-look-to-build-on-a.4Jw9ROF2j1t71utZ1M9J2K |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} Newly hired team principal James Vowles was praised for giving the team a sense of purpose which allowed their improvement. Albon was also praised for his performance across the season, and Sargeant criticised, with the latter only able to score one point to Albon's 27.

AlphaTauri started the season as one of the worst cars on the grid, but was able to improve, although they were hampered by inconsistency. The team went through four drivers throughout the year, de Vries underperformed and was replaced. Ricciardo and Lawson were both able to secure better and more consistently results for the team, but it was Tsunoda who was praised for his driving throughout the year. Sauber saw the biggest drop from 2022 to 2023, falling from sixth to ninth, in a season that was described as having few high points.{{Cite web |last=Hooper |first=Alasdair |date=16 December 2023 |title=End of year report: Alfa Romeo's 2023 was disappointing but can a technical reshuffle provide hope? |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-alfa-romeo-2023-sauber.6OFfgYIG6q8fChuBTg8QuZ |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} The car was poor and described as lacking focus and direction, and while they found some additional performance late on, it was only able to keep them from falling to last. Haas finished the season in last place. There was optimism in the early stages of the campaign after they scored in three of the opening five rounds, but poor race pace, which did not improve with upgrades, meant they were unable to capitalise on the strong qualifying performances the car was able to produce.{{Cite web |last=Bart-Williams |first=Nadim |date=15 December 2023 |title=End of year report:: Haas left searching for answers after finishing bottom of the pile in 2023 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/end-of-year-report-haas-left-searching-for-answers-after-finishing-bottom-of.ATpRFWUS2jM9DGDhxrK0H |access-date=3 January 2025 |website=Formula 1}} This season was also the first since 1952 where the British national anthem was not played on the podium at any point during the season.{{cite web |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-28/five-fun-formula-1-facts-from-the-2023-season/103152876 |title=Five fun facts from the 2023 Formula 1 season |publisher=ABC News |date=2023-11-28 |access-date=2025-01-30}}

Points were awarded to the top ten classified drivers, the driver who set the fastest lap during the Grand Prix (only if one of the top ten), and the top eight of the sprint. In the case of a tie on points, a countback system was used where the driver with the most Grand Prix wins is ranked higher. If the number of wins is identical, then the number of second places is considered, and so on.{{rp|location=Article 7.2}}

Points were awarded using the following system:
