Schedule
List of changes and different updates for this year’s Formula-1 Races
New team names
Alfa Romeo and AlphaTauri will not be any more in 2024. Alfa Romeo finished their title sponsorship of Sauber - who have since declared an arrangement to be known as Stake F1 Group for 2024 and 2025.
Concerning AlphaTauri, its new name is still to be reported with the tea set to appreciate closer cooperation with Red Bull under its new administration of Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer.
Right of review
Technical rules remain the same, but the FIA changed the rules around protests.
Haas requested a review nearly two weeks after the 2023 United States Grand Prix because he said new evidence emerged of Austin violating track restrictions without being punished.
Stewards dismissed the case, but the FIA considered the uncertainty of the outcome of the race after such a long time to be far from beneficial and decided to limit the time to four days, or 96 hours.
A record-breaking calendar
Regardless of the order, 2024 will be a twistier year than ever before, with 24 grands prix and six sprint races on the calendar, meaning those five red lights will go out a total of 30 times.
The campaign is set to begin in Bahrain on March 2 after three days of pre-season testing. They will then travel to five continents before returning to the Middle East for the finals in Abu Dhabi on December 8.
Drivers
For the first time in Formula 1 history, every driver who completed the final round in Abu Dhabi last year will compete with the same team in the season opener in Bahrain. All 20 drivers, from Max Verstappen to Logan Sargent, have retained their positions from 2023 to 2024, with not a single driver changing between them. In fact, the only difference between the drivers competing in Bahrain this March and the 20 who raced there last year is that Daniel Ricciardo will start instead of Nyck de Vries.
New Level of Entertainment
While the above points are all worth getting excited about in terms of the drivers, teams, cars and tracks, there will also be plenty to keep you entertained off the track.
Before the new F1 season even starts, we’ll be treated to another offering of the hugely popular Drive To Survive series on Netflix – giving us some behind-the-scenes insight into last year’s action.
