With the 2024 F1 season fast approaching, here’s five drivers who are immediately under pressure going into the new campaign.
Unsurprisingly, Sergio Perez is under a lot of pressure heading into the F1 2024 season. Despite his second-place championship finish in 2023, it was arguably his worst season in F1. Perez’s form in the middle part of the season was unacceptable for someone driving a dominant car. However, there are no obvious replacements for Perez at the moment. Logan Sargeant has been retained by Williams for 2024, but he had an underwhelming rookie season and needs to improve. Zhou Guanyu has also been urged to be more consistent by Sauber for the upcoming season. Finally, Kevin Magnussen had a poor year in 2023 and was consistently slower than his teammate at Haas.
