Williams and Sauber are the latest teams to announce launch dates for 2024.
Williams and Sauber are scheduled to begin their 2024 Formula 1 campaigns from February 5.
Williams has not given further details on its launch plans as it looks to finish seventh in the constructors’ championship this season. The British team has been working on the car for some time and, after the eighth race in Canada, they moved all their resources to 2024.
Sauber, which will be known as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber from 2024, is said to be keeping its cards close to its chest. However, the Swiss team, which will become Audi in 2026, said it was the first time it had launched an evening event in the British capital, London.
The launch in London will be the first opportunity to see their new team identity in real life, which the team says will “bring the ‘wow’ factor to our sport”. Williams and Sauber are the second and third teams to miss the start of the season, as Ferrari were first at the time of registration on February 13.
Williams and Sauber begin their seasons two weeks ahead of a three-day pre-season test in Bahrain. The duo plans to present an unchanged line-up next year. Williams will join Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant, while Sauber will join Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.
