McLaren have revealed their brand new 2024 livery ahead of the new Formula 1 season

The 2024 Formula 1 season is just around the corner and each of the 10 teams will be launching their new cars across a two-week spell from February 2 ahead of the new campaign.

It’s always an exciting time of the year as fans crave for every bit of F1 they can get after the end of last season and there is renewed hope for every driver.

There has been no driver movement for the upcoming season, a rarity in F1’s 74-year history, but the pack is expected to converge after a record-breaking year for Max Verstappen and Red Bull.

In recent years, some teams have elected to not replace their actual car for the new season and that is likely to be the case this year.

However, we should still see some new aerodynamic parts on the exterior of the car during the car launch, especially if a team has gone down the route of revolution over evolution.

Mercedes

Mercedes went winless in a season for the first time in 12 years last campaign and Lewis Hamilton has not stood on the top step of the podium since December 2021.

A lot therefore rests on their 2024 challenger, the W15, and the former champions have confirmed the car they hope they will fall back in love with will be revealed on Wednesday – Valentine’s Day – in a digital launch event at Silverstone.

Ferrari

Frederic Vasseur says “95 per cent” of Ferrari’s car will be new compared to their 2023 machine which finished third in the standings.

Ferrari were the first team to reveal their car launch date on Tuesday. In 2023, the team also completed a shakedown in front of 500 fans at their Fiorano test track.

McLaren

McLaren’s upgrades in 2023 brought them back to the front on merit as a mid-season charge saw Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri pick up nine podiums from Silverstone onwards.

If they continue that rate of development, they could put Red Bull under some serious pressure. Having already revealed a reworked livery design for 2024 in mid-January, McLaren’s actual new MCL38 will also be shown to the world for the first time on Wednesday.

Aston Martin

Aston Martin pushed Red Bull hard in the early stages of 2023 as Fernando Alonso took six podiums in the opening eight events.

But, they were overhauled by Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren in the second half of the campaign.

The team will reveal the AMR24 at Silverstone on Monday.

A new name, a new livery, and a Las Vegas launch for the former AlphaTauri team on Thursday. The launch will take place at 10.15pm local time, so that means first images of the car will be seen on Friday morning at 6.15am in the UK.

Four drivers drove for them in 2023 as Nyck de Vries was dropped after 10 races and Liam Lawson replaced Daniel Ricciardo when the Australian broke his hand. Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will be the team’s driver line-up in 2024.
