F1 2024: Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix

The F1 24 season has officially begun and this season saw some drastic changes. AlphaTauri is now called RB, Sauber dropped Alfa Romeo for Kick, the return of the Chinese Grand Prix, and an April schedule for the Japanese Grand Prix. 

This season marks Lewis Hamilton's final outing as a Mercedes driver before transferring to Ferrari next year.

The 2024 F1 season kicked off at Bahrain International Circuit for the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix and expectations are high over who will draw first blood this season.

As the lights went off, the season's first race was on with Lance Stroll spinning at the start and damage to Nico Hulkenberg's front wing. Come Lap 10, a mishap sent Logan Sargeant to last place while Max Verstappen continued to hold his lead. As Valtteri Bottas' pit stop hits a snag on Lap 32, Verstappen is still holding his lead from Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz.
