F1: 2024 F1 Silly Season page (Update)
With the announcement that both Haas drivers have been re-signed for 2024, they both go to ‘fact’ in our latest F1 Silly Season update.
Felipe Drugovich has been added as an outside chance at Alfa Romeo Sauber if Zhou Guanyu’s check from China does not materialize, and Liam Lawson has been added as a possibility at AlphaTauri given his performance substituting for the injured Daniel Ricciardo.
