A 1-2 outcome on the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix initially advised that Crimson Bull’s 2023 benefit over the remainder of the sector would repeat in 2024 – however it proved to be a special image because the marketing campaign developed, with the crew’s rivals dramatically closing the hole.
Whereas Verstappen held on to take his fourth title, it was a nightmare season for Perez, who failed to complete on the rostrum once more after Spherical 5 in China. Crimson Bull subsequently slipped from first to 3rd within the Groups’ Championship, and an settlement was reached between Perez and the crew after the season had concluded to part ways with immediate effect.
