How teams have performed in 2024 compared to 2023

Red Bull completely dominated the 2023 F1 season as it clinched back-to-back constructors’ title by winning 21 of 22 grands prix – but 2024 has not been as kind.

Though the Milton Keynes-based squad still leads this year’s championship, the competition is much closer and Red Bull has won half as many races compared to this stage last season.

Aston Martin, McLaren and RB are amongst others to have big performance differences, so how does each team compare after 14 rounds in 2023 to after 14 rounds in 2024 with F1 currently in its summer break?

Red Bull

The RB19 is statistically the most dominant F1 car ever, as it won 95% of grands prix in 2023 which included a record-breaking 14-race winning run to start the year.

That means, at this stage last season, many wondered if Red Bull could go unbeaten due to its advantage over the rest of the grid with Max Verstappen as its leading driver. Eventually it didn’t though, as Carlos Sainz won the season’s 15th round in Singapore.

Red Bull’s rivals then made gains over the off-season, while its technical director Pierre Wache told Autosport that the RB20 “didn’t deliver what we expected”. So, despite a strong start with seven wins in 10, the signs were clear that Red Bull’s advantage was no longer significant – especially when Verstappen won in Imola by less than a second.

It has culminated in Red Bull failing to win the final four grands prix before the summer break and although Verstappen leads the championship, his team-mate Sergio Perez is seventh and the only driver inside the top eight to not win a race.

So, even though Red Bull is still first in the championship, it is 175 points worse off than it was after 14 rounds in 2023 with seven fewer victories and nine fewer podiums.

McLaren

McLaren has arguably made the biggest gain over the last 12 months, as…
