Ferrari: Charles Leclerc vs Carlos Sainz

2024 will mark the end of the collaboration between Charles Leclerc et Carlos Sainz, a duo which has often brought satisfaction to the Team.

Aston Martin: Fernando Alonso vs Lance Stroll

Standard bearer of the incredible leap forwardAston Martin in 2023, Fernando Alonso left only the crumbs Lance stroll.

RB: Yuki Tsunoda vs Daniel Ricciardo

Teammates in the second part of the season in 2023, Yuki tsunoda et Daniel Ricciardo represent the new face of the stable, now called Visa Cash App RB. Playing very big with a view to 2025, the Japanese and the Australian should not do each other any favors on the track.

Sauber: Valtteri Bottas vs Guanyu Zhou

Difficult to decide between the two men, between a Valtteri Bottas whose motivation seems to have been affected last year and a Guanyu-Zhou who still struggles to stand out. After a year of 2023 in alternating current, the Finn and the Chinese want to move forward in order to demonstrate to their bosses that they can count on them for the future with Audi.

Haas: Nico Hülkenberg vs Kevin Magnussen

With very limited equipment and internal restructuring, the year 2024 promises to be difficult for Nico Hulkenberg et Kevin Magnussen. Far from their best level, the German and the Dane must raise their voices if they want to hope to still be on the grid in 2025.
