Mercedes, Alpine reveal F1 2024 car launch dates
Alpine will hold its 2024 season launch, including its World Endurance Championship team, on 7 February, while Mercedes will reveal its new W15 on 14 February. Mercedes is aiming for a strong 2024 season after losing its top position to Red Bull in the past two seasons. They realized in early 2023 that sticking to their troubled 2022 concept was a mistake and have since made significant changes. The new W15 car is expected to enable Lewis Hamilton and George Russell to compete with Red Bull. Alpine had a disappointing 2023 season, resulting in a drop from fourth to sixth place in the standings. They will unveil their new car on 7 February, along with their WEC Hypercar squad. Other teams, including Williams, Sauber, Aston Martin, and Ferrari, have already announced their launch dates, while Red Bull, AlphaTauri, Haas, and McLaren have yet to confirm theirs. Pre-season testing will begin on 21 February in Bahrain.
