Yahoo Autos Here are all the 2024 Formula 1 car liveries
The 2024 Formula 1 season is coming in hot. Teams revealed their cars over the past couple weeks, and now that Red Bull took the wraps off its car, the entire field is out. We’ve been following along with all the individual car reveals, and now we have the whole list compiled for you below.
It won’t be long before on-track images of all the cars are available, too, as pre-season testing is just around the corner running February 21-23. And just as though it was perfectly scripted, the next season of Netflix’s "Drive To Survive" comes out on February 23 to keep you fed with constant F1 content ahead of the 2024 season’s first official race weekend in Bahrain which runs February 29-March 2.
So, without further ado, scroll on down to see all of the cars taking to the grid this year.
Haas VF-24
Drivers: Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg
Haas’ new car is an evolution of the upgraded car it fielded last year, with more sculpted side pods and a new chassis with some repositioned radiator components and a revised impact protection bar. The changes put the car closer in line with the updated cars seen from McLaren and others last year.
New team principal Ayao Komatsu tempered expectations of the VF-24, saying, “We’re realistic about our expectations for the VF-24 to start, but it’s still an exciting moment in any Formula 1 season to showcase the car. There’s a lot of work ahead of us to make progress and increase our performance, but everyone here is highly motivated and eager to get on track with the VF-24.”
Williams FW46
Drivers: Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant
Ex-Mercedes man James Vowles took over as Williams team principal at the end of 2022, this will be the first car created under his oversight. As for the colors, they're mostly the same shade of dark blue as last year, offset by carbon fiber and Duracell's gold branding. The red and white pinstripes from front to back, as with the Komatsu deal, look back to historic Williams cars like the FW10 that Nigel Mansell drove in 1997 and the FW19 that Jacques Villeneuve drove to the Driver's Championship in 1997.
“I don’t think we will be quite the straight-line car we were, but time will tell,” Alex Albon said at the car’s unveiling. “I think we’ve got a bit more of an all-round car, which is something that we have been working on from last year. We had peaks, like Canada, Silverstone, Monza – these high-speed tracks. Hopefully we’ll be a bit more competitive this year.”
Kick Sauber C44
Drivers: Valterri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu
The new Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber branding takes over where Alfa Romeo left off with the C44. That new branding means new colors are in order, and the team went with a bright green and black theme to match its sponsor Kick’s theme colors.
“The C44 is virtually a completely new car, with a few carry-over areas at the rear of the car,” James Key, the team’s technical director says. “The team had to take an ambitious direction well before I joined: there are many mechanical changes, some of which you can't see at all, but some are very visible.”
Alpine A524
Drivers: Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly
From a color/theme perspective, the Alpine car follows a similar path as the season before. However, this year there’s a far greater emphasis on exposed carbon fiber parts with no livery over top of them. This makes for a less pink and blue car, instead preferring black carbon fiber as the main colorway.
“The A524 approach has been aggressive but deliberate in the fact we are creating a wider scope to add performance to the car,” says Matt Harman, Alpine technical director. “We have really focused on learning and reacting to what we have learned rather than on results. The project has been bold where we have focused on realizing concepts, which we aim to add to the car. We’ve built ourselves a strong platform to add performance when we can and we have set ourselves targets to deliver those.”
VCARB-01
Drivers: Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda
Alpha Tauri is gone and replacing it is Visa CashApp Red Bull Formula 1. That's a mouthful, but appearance-wise, we're looking at a totally new color scheme. Everyone has noted its visual similarities to Red Bull's championship-winning RB19 from last year, especially in the sidepods. We'll just need to wait see if that appearance translates to performance out on the track.
