2024 F1 Season

24 races · Red Bull RB20

The 2024 season proved that a great driver can make the difference even when his car is no longer the best. Verstappen started out dominant, but as the year went on Red Bull faded and McLaren, with the MCL38, became the car to beat.

Lando Norris emerged as the Dutchman's most serious rival and took his first win in Miami, launching a fightback that came to worry Red Bull. Verstappen, however, wrung every point out of the period when his car was still competitive and held on with relentless consistency.

The Dutchman sealed his fourth consecutive world title before the end of the season, joining a very select club. Even so, McLaren claimed a historic reward: the constructors' championship, the Woking team's first in more than a quarter of a century.

The 2024 grid, car by car

The 10 teams that raced in 2024, ordered by how good we rate the car. It is our own judgement, not an official figure: what it is worth is that the same yardstick is applied to every season since 1988, so you can compare eras.

What if 2024 had been raced 100 times?

We took the real 2024 grid (every car with its performance and reliability, every driver with his rating) and re-ran the full 22-race championship 100 times.
