The big three
Lewis Hamilton will spend his final season at Mercedes, alongside George Russell.
Hamilton is set to join Ferrari in 2025. But, this year, Ferrari will have Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Sainz will then be replaced by Hamilton who will team with Leclerc.
Red Bull appear to have a settled driver line-up for the time being, with Max Verstappen tied down to the longest-known contract on the grid - a lucrative deal running until the end of 2028, by which point the Dutchman will be 31.
Teammate Sergio Perez signed a contract extension that will see him retain his Red Bull seat until the end of 2024.
The chasing pack
Esteban Ocon committed his future to Alpine back in 2021 on a deal that takes him to the end of 2024. Pierre Gasly signed an initial two-year contract when he joined the team.
McLaren have once again tied Lando Norris down to a new "long-term" contract to ward off rival teams. Following an impressive start to his rookie F1 season, Oscar Piastri signed a multi-year extension through to the end of 2026.
Valtteri Bottas negotiated the longer contract he desired when he moved to Sauber, securing a deal that will keep him at the team until the end of 2024. Meanwhile, teammate Zhou Guanyu was retained for a third season at the Hinwil-based outfit.
Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will continue to form the rebranded Visa Cash App RB's driver line-up for 2024, with Liam Lawson remaining as the team's reserve driver despite impressive stand-in performances.
Aston Martin snapped up Fernando Alonso on a multi-year deal that will keep the Spaniard in green until at least the end of 2024. Lance Stroll’s contract is unknown, but given his father Lawrence owns the team he drives for, it’s likely he’ll continue for as long as he, and his dad, wants.
Kevin Magnussen's deal with Haas runs until the end of 2024, and the same can be said for his teammate, Nico Hulkenberg.
Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant complete the F1 2024 grid for Williams.
