Alpine driver Jack Doohan became the 778th driver to start a world championship F1 grand prix at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Throughout 1,125 races, multiple drivers, including Lewis Hamilton at the 2009 Australian GP and Nico Hulkenberg at the 2024 Sao Paulo GP, have been disqualified.

Lando Norris stuck with McLaren, rejecting other opportunities, aiming to win a title with the team. Verstappen humorously mentioned receiving a “full report” from Nyck de Vries after the latter tested with McLaren last year. Toto Wolff criticized Christian Horner and Red Bull’s handling of the aftermath of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, calling it “entitlement” and lacking acknowledgment towards Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.
