Big changes to F1 teams’ form in 2024 would be a "surprise" – Aston Martin
The upcoming season will be the third year of the current ground effect design rulebook, allowing teams to adopt the Red Bull-style downwash sidepod car architecture. Most teams are expected to stick with this approach, with Mercedes and Ferrari also committing to a new car concept for 2024. Due to the stable rules, major changes to the form guide this year are unlikely. The field is expected to move closer together each year with the same technical regulations. Teams will focus on refining their trackside operations and improving strategies and pitstop times to gain an advantage in races. The qualifying gaps between cars could be as little as 0.6 seconds, emphasizing the importance of small details. Overall, there are not expected to be significant deviations from the current state of Formula 1.
