Five biggest F1 2024 surprises: Big McLaren exit, post-Steiner Haas thrive and more shocks

While Nico Hulkenberg and Carlos Sainz are enjoying good seasons, Daniel Ricciardo ’s has been the opposite.

How wrong I was. Komatsu is unlikely to play a starring role in the next series of Drive to Survive but what he has done is brought about a tranquillity to the team. His engineering-focused brain will have allowed him to help the team overcome the tyre issue that plagued their 2023 campaign and they currently have four points, 33% of what they achieved in the entirety of 2023.

The new Sainz first came to the fore in the season opener as he did not wait to ask for permission to overtake Leclerc twice, one of which was a manoeuvre that may have left some dressed in red wincing, but his form has kicked on from there. The team have progressed from Q1 on just two occasions out of eight attempts, have yet to register a point and sit bottom of the standings.

This one came as the biggest surprise of all as David Sanchez walked out of McLaren just three months after joining.
