The 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship is a motor racing championship for Formula One cars and is the 75th running of the Formula One World Championship. It is recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship is contested over a record twenty-four Grands Prix held around the world. It began in March and will end in December.
Drivers and teams compete for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. Max Verstappen is the defending Drivers' Champion, while his team, Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT, are the defending Constructors' Champions.[1][2]
Entries[edit]
The following constructors and drivers are competing in the 2024 World Championship. All teams compete with tyres supplied by Pirelli.[3] Each team is required to enter at least two drivers, one for each of the two mandatory cars.[4]

Team changes[edit]
Alfa Romeo ended their partnership with Sauber and left Formula One in 2023 as Sauber prepares to become the Audi works team in 2026.[35][36] The team was rebranded as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, with the constructor name Kick Sauber.[37][15] AlphaTauri rebranded as RB and relocated the aerodynamics operations of the team to Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom amidst a management restructure.[23][38][39]
Driver changes[edit]
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. All driver and team combinations that competed in the final round of the previous season remained unchanged for the start of the next season for the first time in Formula One World Championship history.[40][41]
In-season changes[edit]

Carlos 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.[11] Sainz returned at the following Australian Grand Prix.[42]
Calendar[edit]
The 2024 calendar comprises a record twenty-four Grands Prix.[43] The Chinese, Miami, Austrian, United States, São Paulo and Qatar Grands Prix will feature the sprint format.[44]

Calendar expansion and changes[edit]
The Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled to return to the calendar for the first time since 2019 after being cancelled for four years in a row due to difficulties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.[43] The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, which was cancelled in 2023 due to flooding in the area, is also scheduled to return to the calendar.[43] The Russian Grand Prix was under contract to feature on the 2024 calendar.[46] However, the contract was terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[47]
Regulation changes[edit]
Technical regulations[edit]
In response to extreme weather conditions resulting in cockpit overheating during the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, teams are now allowed to install a scoop to the car that is intended to cool down the driver and cockpit area.[48][49] Wheel covers aiming to reduce spray in wet weather conditions will be further tested during the season.[50] Teams will not be allowed to start wind tunnel or computational fluid dynamics work for the 2026 season, which will see major technical regulations rule changes, until 1 January 2025. However, teams may still do other preliminary research and development work not covered by these restrictions.[51][52]
Tyres[edit]
The "alternative tyre allocation" trialled at the 2023 Hungarian and Italian Grands Prix, where drivers were given 11 sets of tyres in an attempt to cut costs in the sport, was discontinued. Therefore, teams reverted to having 13 sets of tyres available per driver during every race weekend.[53] The C0 tyre compound (the hardest compound in Pirelli's dry tyre range), which was introduced but not used during the 2023 season, was dropped from the tyre line-up.[54] This compound was previously known as the C1, but was renamed at the start of the 2023 season following the introduction of a new C1 compound that slotted between the old C1 and current C2 compounds in terms of hardness.[55][54] A proposed trial for a ban on tyre blankets for this season and a full ban in 2025 was abandoned.[56]
Sporting regulations[edit]
Appeals process[edit]
The decision appeal process was amended for the 2024 season. The deadline to submit a right of review request was reduced from fourteen to four days after an event. In an attempt to stop potentially frivolous appeal attempts, the FIA will also introduce a fee for the process.[57]
Sprint weekends[edit]
The structure of the sprint weekends was changed for 2024, with the goal of rationalising sprint events and separating them from the rest of the Grand Prix weekend.[58][59][4] The weekend now begins with a single practice session, followed by the sprint qualifying session, which sets the starting grid order for the sprint race. The sprint will then be the first session to take place on Saturday, followed by qualifying for the main race. The Grand Prix itself remains on Sunday.[60] The FIA sporting regulations for the championship now refer to the qualifying for the sprint as "sprint qualifying", as opposed to "sprint shootout". The term "sprint qualifying" was previously used in the inaugural season of the sprint format in 2021 to refer to the sprint race itself.[61]
DRS usage[edit]
The rules for DRS usage in Grands Prix were adjusted slightly. Drivers are now allowed to use DRS one lap after a race start, safety car restart, or red flag restart, one lap earlier than in previous seasons. This was tested during the sprints of 2023.[62]
Power unit allocation[edit]
After being increased for the 2023 championship, the power unit allocation per season was again expanded from three to four per driver for the 2024 and 2025 championships.[63]
Maximum lap time[edit]
Prior to Thursday's two practice sessions at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, updated rules were introduced to discourage drivers from driving too slowly on in-laps and reconnaissance laps during qualifying. Drivers were initially required to not exceed a maximum time taken to drive through each marshalling sector. This was a change from 2023, when the FIA introduced a maximum time across an entire lap.[64] However, prior to Friday's third practice session and qualifying, the rules were reverted to the 2023 full-lap method, though the rule now applies on both in-laps and out-laps.[65]
Penalties[edit]
The standard sanction for a driver overtaking another driver off the track and gaining a lasting advantage has been upgraded from a five-second time penalty to a ten-second time penalty, although five-second penalties could still be awarded. The change was made as the five-second penalty was considered insufficient, with drivers regularly gaining more than five seconds through illegally overtaking slower cars off track.[66]
Season summary[edit]
Pre-season[edit]
A single pre-season test was held at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on 21–23 February.[67][68] Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari set the fastest time in the three-day test.[69]
Opening rounds[edit]
The season began with a Red Bull Racing 1–2 at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Max Verstappen won the race ahead of teammate Sergio Pérez and Carlos Sainz Jr.[70] After starting on pole, Verstappen led every lap and took fastest lap, for his fifth career grand chelem. After finishing sixth in the Constructors' Championship in the previous year, Alpine performed below expectations: Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly qualified nineteenth and twentieth and finished the race in seventeenth and eighteenth, respectively.[71][72]
Red Bull Racing continued to show their pace at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Verstappen winning the race ahead of teammate Pérez and Charles Leclerc, with Verstappen securing his 100th podium.[73] While he led a majority of the race, a safety car caused by Lance Stroll's crash, which allowed a majority of the field to change their strategies, allowed Lando Norris to inherit the lead temporarily before Verstappen overtook him. During the weekend, Sainz was affected with appendicitis, which resulted in his withdrawal from the event. In his place, Ferrari junior driver Oliver Bearman, who had secured pole position for the Formula 2 feature race that same weekend, stood in for Sainz while he underwent surgery.[74] Bearman qualified eleventh and went on to finish seventh. Gasly retired on lap one due to a gearbox problem.[75]
Verstappen's run of nine wins in a row ended at the Australian Grand Prix, where he retired on lap four from a dislodging of his brake disc, marking his first retirement since the 2022 Australian Grand Prix. Returnee Sainz inherited the race lead and took his third career victory, with his teammate Charles Leclerc finishing second for Ferrari's first 1–2 finish since the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix. McLaren's Lando Norris completed the podium and succeeded Nick Heidfeld for the most podiums without a victory in Formula One, while Haas scored double points, and Yuki Tsunoda scored RB's first points, respectively. Additionally to Verstappen's retirement, both Mercedes drivers also did not finish the race, with Lewis Hamilton having an engine failure and George Russell hitting the wall heavily, ending his race on the last lap.[76]
Results and standings[edit]
Grands Prix[edit]
Scoring system[edit]
Points are awarded to the top ten classified drivers, the driver who sets the fastest lap during the Grand Prix (only if one of the top ten), and the top eight of the sprint.[77][e] In the case of a tie on points, a countback system is 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.[79] Points are awarded using the following system:
| Position | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th | FL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race | 25 | 18 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Sprint[d] | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |||
