After dominating the 2023 season to claim a third straight World Drivers’ Championship title, Max Verstappen remains the F1 driver with the longest current contract.

The Dutchman has been tied down by Red Bull until 2028, though rumours still swirl on who his teammate will be heading into the future. As of now, Sergio Perez will keep his seat until the end of the 2024 campaign despite his form taking a huge hit throughout the current season.

Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will remain with Mercedes until at least the end of the 2025 season, whilst McLaren’s Oscar Piastri has signed a new long-term deal with the British constructors after seriously impressing during his rookie campaign.

As of now in late November, there’s just one available seat remaining for the upcoming 2024 season but where is that and how does that leave the F1 lineups for 2024? Here’s what we know for sure.

Red Bull 2024 lineup

Max Verstappen (end of 2028 season) & Sergio Perez (end of 2024 season)

The current Constructors’ Championship victors will remain the same for the upcoming 2024 season, though they’ll hope that Perez can catch Verstappen up with his performances.

The Mexican driver exploded out of the starting blocks in 2023 by winning two of the opening four Grands Prix of the year and an F1 Sprint to boot, but ever since, the veteran has looked a shadow of himself.

A number of disappointing qualifying and race performances mean that he’s still under pressure to perform, especially as his teammate has cantered to his third World Drivers’ Championship title in succession.

Mercedes 2024 lineup

Lewis Hamilton (end of 2025 season) & George Russell (end of 2025 season)

Although it’s ultimately proved to be a disappointing season this time around for Mercedes as neither of their drivers have taken a race win, there are still positives to take away, especially given just how bad their 2022 campaign was.

For 2024, both of their British drivers — Lewis Hamilton and George Russell — will be sticking around and are likely to feature the year afterwards too as both have signed contracts that come to a close at the end of the 2025 season.

Ferrari 2024 lineup

Charles Leclerc (end of 2024 season) & Carlos Sainz (end of 2024 season)

Just like their rivals Mercedes, the 2023 season has been absolutely full of ups and downs for Ferrari who have hit the heights like with Carlos Sainz’s win in Singapore but on other occasions, have suffered dramatic mishaps.

Sainz and current teammate Charles Leclerc will remain in the cockpit for the 2024 season with the famous Italian constructors but both need to further prove their credentials if they’re to stay on beyond the end of next year.

McLaren 2024 lineup

Lando Norris (end of 2025 season) & Oscar Piastri (end of 2026 season)

The 2023 season may have started in the worst possible way for McLaren but their rise ever since has been fascinating to watch.

The opening race of the year saw Lando Norris and rookie teammate Oscar Piastri massively struggle for pace but both have since gone on to take multiple podium finishes. The young Australian also grabbed his first ever F1 win along the way with victory in Qatar.

His performances have seen him rewarded with a new contract which will run until the end of the 2026 season, whilst Norris will be with the team until at least the 2025 season.

Aston Martin 2024 lineup

Fernando Alonso (end of 2024 season) & Lance Stroll (multi-year contract)

Just like their on-track rivals, Aston Martin have announced the same driver line up for the upcoming 2024 season.

That means that Fernando Alonso will race in yet another Formula One season and will look to gain even more podium finishes after impressing this season. His teammate Lance Stroll remains with the team on a multi-year contract.

Alpine 2024 lineup

Esteban Ocon (end of 2024 season) & Pierre Gasly (end of 2024 season)

Another team who have experienced the very highs and lows during the 2023 season, Alpine will also retain their two current drivers for the upcoming 2024 season.

French duo Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly have grown as a pair this year both on and off the track, looking competitive during the majority of races with both finishing on the podium once apiece.

Alfa Romeo 2024 lineup

Valtteri Bottas (end of 2025 season) & Zhou Guanyu (end of 2024 season)

It’s not been a great year for Alfa Romeo but even so, the team have announced that current pair Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will remain as their pairing for the 2024 season.

Bottas offers invaluable experience to his team, whilst in flashes, Zhou has shown that he has great pace on the track. The biggest change will see Alfa Romeo change name which is still to be announced as the Sauber team remain on the look-out for a new title sponsor.

Williams 2024 lineup

Alex Albon (end of 2024 season) & TBC

The one and only unconfirmed spot on the 2024 Formula One grid at present comes at Williams as American rookie Logan Sargeant is still waiting to be offered a new contract.

He’s looked strong in bursts but team principal James Vowles is still yet to decide on if he’s willing to bring the 22-year-old back for another year.

In the other seat will be Alex Albon, who Williams will be keen to offer a new contract to over the off-season given his fantastic performances across the 2023 campaign.

Haas 2024 lineup

Nico Hulkenberg (end of 2024 season) & Kevin Magnussen (end of 2024 season)

American team Haas have seriously underwhelmed this season in terms of race pace and points, but they’ve announced that they’re sticking with experienced duo Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen for next season.

The pair have performed strongly on occasion in qualifying but their car has lacked any form of consistent performance in Grand Prix races.

AlphaTauri 2024 lineup

Yuki Tsunoda (end of 2024 season) & Daniel Ricciardo (end of 2024 season)

The 2023 season saw fan favourite Daniel Ricciardo return with AlphaTauri as Nyck De Vries was given the boot during the season due to poor performance.

The Australian will retain his seat for the 2024 season alongside Japanese star Yuki Tsunoda with the pair looking likely to finish the current season with some great results under their belts.

Like Alfa Romeo, the biggest change for this team will be a rebrand over the off-season which is still yet to be announced.
