Aston Martin Team Principal Mike Krack doesn’t expect “big deviations” in the pecking order in the 2024 Formula 1 season
The second year of ground effect cars saw Aston Martin and McLaren improve significantly, challenging Red Bull for podium finishes. However, Red Bull’s dominance led other teams to adopt similar solutions, converging towards the downwash sidepod concept. Ferrari and Mercedes have been working on revamped car designs to address their development mistakes from the previous winter. Despite these changes, the lack of technical rule changes for this season would likely result in teams opting for evolutionary developments. The field is expected to become more closely contested, with teams focusing on marginal gains and operational efficiency. Overall, significant deviations from the current standings are not anticipated.
