Free practice drivers

[edit]
Across the season, each team has to field a driver in one of the first two free
practice sessions who has not competed in more than two races, on two
occasions, once for each car.[4] Oliver Bearman's debut for Ferrari at the Saudi
Arabian Grand Prix did not count, as he only participated in the third practice
session; the first two were driven by Carlos Sainz Jr. in the same car.[35]

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.[36][37] The
team was rebranded as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, competing with the
constructor name Kick Sauber.[38][16] AlphaTauri rebranded as RB and relocated
the aerodynamics operations of the team to Milton Keynes in the United
Kingdom amidst a management restructure.[24][39][40]

Driver changes
[edit]

Oliver Bearman (centre) stood in for Carlos Sainz Jr. (left) at Ferrari in the Saudi Arabian
Grand Prix and for Kevin Magnussen (right) at Haas in the Azerbaijan and São
Paulo Grands Prix, respectively.
 Franco Colapinto (top left) replaced Logan Sargeant (top right) at Williams from the Italian
Grand Prix onwards. Liam Lawson (bottom left) replaced Daniel Ricciardo (bottom right)
from the United States Grand Prix onwards.

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.[41][42]

In-season changes
[edit]
Carlos Sainz Jr. was forced to withdraw from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after
he was diagnosed with appendicitis and required an appendicectomy.[43] 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.
[44]

From the Italian Grand Prix onwards, Formula 2 driver Franco

Colapinto replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams, making his Formula One debut.
[45]

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.
[46]
He was replaced by Bearman, who raced for the second time in the season
as a reserve driver.[47] Magnussen returned at the subsequent Singapore Grand
Prix.[46]

Daniel Ricciardo was dropped from RB ahead of the United States Grand Prix.
[48][49]
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.[50]

Bearman replaced Magnussen at Haas during the São Paulo Grand Prix for the
free practice and sprint sessions as Magnussen felt unwell.[51][52][53] This was later
expanded to the rest of the weekend following sprint qualifying.[15]
Calendar

Calendar expansion and changes

[edit]
The Chinese Grand Prix returned 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.[54] The Emilia Romagna
Grand Prix, which was cancelled in the preceding year due to flooding in the
area, also returned to the calendar.[54] The Russian Grand Prix was under
contract to feature on the 2024 calendar.[57] However, the contract was
terminated in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[58]
