2024 Team Launch Dates & Testing
thought i would get this going...
Williams - February 5 - New York Kick Sauber - February 5 - London Aston Martin - February 12 -Silverstone Ferrari - February 13 - TBD Red Bull - February 15 - TBD Mercedes - February 14 - Silverstone McLaren - February 14 - Silverstone Alpine - February 7 - TBD AlphaTauri - TBD - TBD Haas - TBD - TBD list is from F1.com but it seems like Mclaren have already dropped a video with their 2024 livery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UuFXnoIrUk https://www.mclaren.com/racing/formu...-championship/ not sure if that means that their feb 14 date will be of their actual 2024 car (minus the aero package that they will use for the winter test/first race of course) or not but this does seem a bit divergent than the usual routine for launches we have seen over the past several years. lots of black still but overall it looks pretty sharp imo.! |

Loving the new McLaren look, although it does remind me a little of Arrows early 2000s

With a name like that, is someone trying to kick them when they're down? |

Williams are really missing a trick if they don't get a certain Black Eyed Peas member to perform at their launch. My coat is well and truly got. |

OKX, a crypto exchange of some sort i believe, also with a much bigger profile on the side pod this year and on the rear wing. does that make them their title sponsor (as much as those terms still hold meaning anyways) now? and with the Gulf deal at an end im thinking they dont have any sort of oil & gas sponsor? partner? |

All the cars usually look great in the promo rendering pictures etc. Agree that the McLaren looks a little better without the blue. Nice to see a few sponsors on there.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/h...-car/10566774/ its going to be a busy season with not much time between the first test, the first race, and then 23 more races to follow that. haas to be seen as a good step if teams can get a shakedown (filming/promo day i suppose) done before arriving at the first test. |

Why has Williams chosen New York to launch their new car? Surely Silverstone would have made more economic sense!

In terms of looks, there is not a lot of change but what matters more is how the car is going to perform. They have two very good drivers and I think the car should be good enough to get at least a couple of race wins in the upcoming season.

Williams is American owned, and having a launch in the US shows a willingness to move on from what is convenient in terms of UK/European audiences to a more global approach. |

Right! The RB teams had theirs in NYC last year…to add to the above, untapped sponsor markets in America may be what makes the economics of it work?
