F1 2024: Everything You Need to Know About Drivers, Teams, Races, & More

The 2023 F1 season recently reached its climax and came to an end as Red Bull enjoyed complete domination over the competition once again. 

Max Verstappen cruised to the World Championship, while the team were also Constructors champions once again by a considerable distance as Sergio Perez finished second in the standings.

Fans may not have been surprised by how the year unfolded, as the Dutch driver and the team were mostly always considered to be the favorites to win the spoils when they took to the track. Many are expecting a repeat performance for years to come.

Nonetheless, a new season is on the horizon, and many will be looking forward to seeing what 2024 will bring.

Which teams and drivers are confirmed for F1 2024?

There will be a rather familiar look to the F1 2024 season when it begins, as there have not been any driver or team changes to have been made. Daniel Ricciardo replaced Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri halfway through the 2023 season and has kept his place at the team.

The only potential changes that may occur between now and the start of the season is the team names of two. AlphaTauri is scheduled to be rebranded amid a reshuffle that is being experienced, while Alfa Romeo car constructor and engine supplier ended their partnership with Sauber and left the F1 as there are rumors Audi is set to take their place. This is the lineup in full:

Who are the favorites?

Unsurprisingly, Max Verstappen is the overwhelming favorite to be the world champion once again. At the same time, Red Bull is also a heavy favorite to become the constructor’s champion again.

Verstappen’s odds at sport betting sites have been priced at -376, with his closest challenger thought to be Lando Norris. However, he is priced at +825, with Lewis Hamilton at +1,200. The gulf in the value between the bet prices available perhaps highlights just how much the Dutchman is dominating the sport at the moment.

Red Bull is also overwhelming favorites to retain their constructor’s championship, with a price of -275. Mercedes and McLaren are both +510, while Ferrari is priced at +620, thus showing the gap in quality that is currently being experienced across the F1 at the moment.
