F1 News: FIA Makes Last-Minute Change To 2024 Mexican Grand Prix
Former F1 driver Nico Hülkenberg joins Aston Martin F1
Last year's Mexican Grand Prix was one of the most exciting races of the season, with Max Verstappen taking the victory ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez. The race was also notable for the large number of fans in attendance, with over 300,000 people packing into the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
For the 2023 season, the Mexican Grand Prix has been moved to a later date in the calendar, taking place on October 29-31. This is likely to make the race even more popular with fans, as it will be one of the last races of the season and could have a major impact on the championship standings.
New regulations for 2024 season
The FIA has announced a number of changes to the regulations for the 2024 season, including a reduction in the number of practice sessions and a new qualifying format. These changes are designed to make the racing more exciting and unpredictable.
One of the most significant changes is the reduction in the number of practice sessions. In previous seasons, there were three practice sessions before each race, but this has been reduced to two for the 2024 season. This will give the teams less time to prepare for each race, which could lead to more mistakes and closer racing.
Another major change is the new qualifying format. In previous seasons, the drivers were eliminated one by one in Q1, Q2, and Q3. However, for the 2024 season, the drivers will be eliminated in groups of three. This will make it more difficult for the top drivers to qualify in the top positions, which could lead to a more exciting race.
