The 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship is a motor racing championship for Formula One cars. This is the 75th running of the Formula One World Championship.
Drivers and teams are scheduled to compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion respectively.
Entries
changeThe following constructors and drivers are under contract to compete in the 2024 World Championship. All teams are set to compete with tyres supplied by Pirelli.
Team changes
changeAlfa Romeo ended their partnership with Sauber and left Formula One in 2023 as Sauber prepares to become the Audi works team in 2026.[2][3] The team was rebranded as Stake F1 Team with a constructor name of Kick Sauber.[4][5] AlphaTauri rebranded as RB, with an identical constructor name. The aerodynamics operations of the team were relocated to Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom amidst a management restructure.[6][7]
Driver changes
change
The only change from the drivers contracted at the beginning of 2023 occurred at the former AlphaTauri team, who replaced Nyck de Vries with Daniel Ricciardo from the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix onwards. This means that all driver and team combinations that competed in the final round of the previous season are set to remain unchanged for the start of the next season for the first time in Formula One World Championship history.
Mid-season
changeCarlos Sainz Jr. was forced to withdraw from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after he was diagnosed with appendicitis. He was replaced by Ferrari reserve and Formula 2 driver Oliver Bearman, who made his Formula One debut. Sainz returned at the following Australian Grand Prix.
From the Italian Grand Prix onwards, Formula 2 driver Franco Colapinto replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams, making his Formula One debut.
Kevin Magnussen of Haas received two penalty points for causing a collision at the Italian Grand Prix, taking his total to twelve penalty points in twelve months, and triggering an automatic race ban for the following Azerbaijan Grand Prix. He is scheduled to be replaced by Bearman, who will race for the second time in the season as a reserve driver. Magnussen is permitted to return at the subsequent Singapore Grand Prix.
Daniel Ricciardo was dropped from RB ahead of the United States Grand Prix. He was replaced by the reserve driver Liam Lawson, who drove in the 2023 season in place of the injured Ricciardo at the same team, then known as AlphaTauri.
Calendar
changeThe 2024 calendar is scheduled to contain twenty-four Grands Prix. The provisional 2024 Formula One World Championship Calendar was released on 5 July 2023. [8]
Calendar expansion and changes
changeThe Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled to return to the calendar after being cancelled for four years due to difficulties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, cancelled in 2023 due to flooding in the area, is scheduled to return to the calendar.
The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2024 calendar. However, the Grand Prix had its contract terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
