Hello Formula 1 fans! It's hard to believe that the 2024 F-1 season starts next week at Bahrain!

This week was testing at the same track and Jolyon Palmer has a nice recap of testing and ranking of teams. Guess who is the team to beat? 🤔 😀

Notable changes from last season:

At Haas, Ayao Komatsu (former Haas engineering director) replaces Guenther Steiner as team principal of Haas.

Apparently, we will see Guenther in 2024 as the German broadcaster RTL has signed him on as an F-1 pundit.

We also see some new team names:
Alfa Romeo is now Kick Sauber (full name Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber). There was a bit of controversy with the name, as Stake is a gambling company (online casino) and some countries don't allow gambling adverts.

I believe they will run with different livery at those tracks, similar to what Marlboro McLaren did in the days of Ayrton Senna (no tobacco adverts).

AlphaTauri is now RB (full name Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team). I'm not a fan, as it will be confusing when I try to do a race summary with using shortened team names.

I think I will just call them VisaRB.

Grumble, grumble, grumble... here's hoping the wheels come off, or the engine backfires, or the batteries die.

I hear you! It's no fun to watch a race when you know who will win.

From what I read, OracleRB didn't rest on their laurels, as they made a significant change to the car. Same result, with Max loving it, Checo still getting used to it.

We shall see!
