Only 10 races remain in the 2024 season and the championship race is on. Here’s what to keep your eyes on over the next few months.
After back-to-back seasons of dominance by Red Bull and Max Verstappen, the competition in Formula One has ramped back up in 2024. Seven different drivers won races in the first 12 races of the campaign, making for the most parity in the sport in more than a decade.
That’s in part due to how unsettled the defending champions have looked ever since losing out in Miami. Verstappen has won a circuit-leading three races since, but has also uncharacteristically missed out on podiums in Monaco, Austria, Hungary and Belgium. Even worse, Sergio Pérez has plummeted down the standings, finishing no higher than seventh in any of the last eight races going into the break.
Fortunes can change quickly but reason stands that Verstappen is still the clear favorite to walk away with another title. If he does so, he’ll enter a new stratosphere in the annals of F1 history. Only four other drivers—Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Hamilton—have ever won four championships in a row. So long as Verstappen continues to do what he’s done all year, he’ll become the latest member of that esteemed group.
The competition that’s unfolded in 2024 bodes well for the immediate future of the sport. Though new regulations are coming in ‘26, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner predicted fireworks through the end of the season—and into next year.
