Top 5 shocking developments that can happen in the 2024 F1 season
The 2024 F1 season is full of potential developments that will shake up the racing world and surprise fans. Let’s examine five shocking developments that could happen right now and change the competition.
1. Lando Norris Leaves McLaren:
Although this seems unlikely, speculation has arisen about the possibility of Lando Norris leaving McLaren. Although Zak Brown has said he wants to keep Norris long-term, the promotion of new starter Oscar Piastri could create internal competition. If Norris finds himself in second place to Piastri in 2024, a move to other teams cannot be ruled out, especially with the imminent entry of Audi.
2.Sebastian Vettel Announces His Return:
With Audi entering F1 in 2026, there are rumors that Sebastian Vettel could make a surprising return before then. Background discussions between Vettel and Andreas Seidl strengthen this possibility. Vettel’s announcement of returning to the track would be a huge shock as he has already announced his retirement in 2022.
3.AlphaTauri Wins a Race:
AlphaTauri winning a race in the 2024 season could prompt many teams to roll up their sleeves and oppose dual ownership of Red Bull and two teams on the grid. The 2024 F1 season will be a season in which Red Bull will focus more on the project. Their improvements were noticeable last season and the team can take a big step forward this year.
If AlphaTauri wins a race this season it will be a very controversial result.
4.Fernando Alonso Retires:
Uncertainty about Fernando Alonso’s future in F1 comes to the fore. His age of over 40 and Aston Martin’s sudden decline in form could lead Alonso to consider moving on. If the 2024 season gets off to a bad start, Alonso may consider ending his career as a name known for his bold decisions.
5 Lewis Hamilton Retires from F1
Hamilton may be under contract for another year after this season, but he also has more than 100 victories and seven world titles under his belt. Possible scenarios include not having won a race for two years and Mercedes’ recovery program being extended. If Hamilton feels that a future title shot is no more than a distant dream, his decision to retire at the end of the season would be a seismic moment for the sport.
In summary, the 2024 F1 season is likely to be full of surprises and turns. Fans can’t wait to see if these shocking developments will come true. The racing world is preparing to witness events that could shape the future of F1.
