. But behind the Dutchman is where things got more interesting: A double McLaren podium, teammate battles within Mercedes, McLaren and Alpine and Sergio Pérez retiring, returning and retiring again, to name a few.Meanwhile, AlphaTauri announced its 2024 driver lineup during the race weekend, leaving all but one seat confirmed for next year’s grid . Liam Lawson, though, is set to remain a reserve driver for both AlphaTauri and Red Bull next season, according to the team’s announcement.
It was an odd move, yes, and not something we see very often in F1, but it was also well within the regulations. Nothing stipulates that once a car is ‘retired,’ it cannot rejoin the race. This is tricky because, as Charles Leclerc pointed out, Ferrari is more inconsistent in race pace while Mercedes faces a similar dilemma in qualifying. But he added, per, “I have a feeling inside me that we have learned a few things in the last weekends that hopefully will give us the upper hand for the rest of the season.”
Granted, it’s also dependent on how the rest of the grid develops their 2024 cars. For example, Ferrari is expected to make significant changes to its car. Enrico Cardile, the team’s technical director of chassis and aerodynamics, said during the Dutch GP weekend, “It will be very different because developing this year’s car, we realized that some architectural choices we did were not right.
