Subtitles section

A new F One season means intrigue, excitement and nerves for teams, drivers and fans, and there are never as many unanswered questions as right now on the brink of pre season.

Some of those questions are more uncomfortable than others.

The real stories of the year go well beyond who is the favourite, or will Driver X win a race?

It's about whether underachievers will stop underachieving, what happens if they don't, what fates await the drivers in those teams and bigger existential issues like F One's popularity and a brewing potential civil war.

We've picked out what we think are the most awkward questions that the F One season could present, so let us know in the comments what you think about each scenario or if there are any that we've missed.

Mercedes heads into the season off the back of two chastening years, even though it finished second in the Constructors' Championship in the year.

It's hoping that significant changes with the W Fifteen will mean it'll be on the right track with its car concept at the start of the season for the first time in this ruleset.

Mercedes aims to eliminate key architectural limitations that held back how far it could go last year.

It was limited by big ticket items such as the monocoque and gearbox design that couldn't be changed in season.

There are apparently some encouraging signs in the development of its very different of its very different car, with technical director James Allison hoping that some of the car's more spiteful characteristics have been made a bit more friendly.

On top of that, Mercedes has been chipping away at the usual task list, adding a bit more downforce, reducing a bit of weight, maximising the engine output.

Is all that going to be enough?

Allison admits Mercedes can't be sure.

Provided the W Fifteen's performance correlates with the various simulation tools used to design and develop it, Mercedes should be on the right path.

But the word should is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

If it doesn't work, then what next?

There'll be pressure and scrutiny on the likes of Alisson and team boss Toto Wolff, who have just signed new long term deals.

They are committed to making Mercedes a winner again, but if that doesn't happen this year, will it happen at all in this era of F One rules?

And will Lewis Hamilton stick around to find out?

Contrary to Mercedes, Ferrari has shown it's far from reluctant to make changes if the results aren't coming, and that's a sword that routinely dangles above the heads of its senior staff.

On paper, Ferrari took a step backwards in the year under Fred Verseer vs. Verseer, with fewer polls, podiums, wins and points, as well as dropping a place in the Constructors' Championship.

In reality, there were real signs of progress, and the team appears to be on the right trajectory with the positive changes Vasseur has made already visible.

Whether that continues into the year is another question however, as Ferrari has been here so many times before.

A fresh team principal is brought in, it has its star driver exactly where it wants him, and there are some promising signs.

But we've seen this film before and didn't like the ending, which is when Ferrari enacts a revolving door policy that often takes it backwards.

Genuine development progress through the year should give Ferrari plenty of hope of at least avoiding that fate in the year, especially as the new car affords a bigger opportunity to make more meaningful changes to the suspension and the car's aero profile.

If Ferrari's on the right path, and has the right ideas, we'll see that in the car.

If not, an all too familiar Ferrari cycle may continue.

Being invested in F One sometimes means having to accept that some seasons just aren't that interesting because a team or one driver dominates.

That doesn't mean there's nothing to get excited about.

It had good races, entertaining battles and an all time great driver operating at a sky high level.

In terms of storylines to follow and get excited about over a full year though, it was a regression on the F One which had already fallen well short of the outrageous standards set in the F One.

The evidence it's meaningfully hurt F One remains inconclusive, with trackside ticket sales still doing great business and various races, accurately or not, being declared as sold out or even having record attendances.

TV figures are a bit more fickle, however, they inevitably get spun.

Ultimately, with a record twenty four race season on the cards, F One's about to ask more of its fanbase than ever, and if the product doesn't reward their commitment, it will test the resilience of its audience and its partners, especially those who have been brought in off the back of the hype of the last few years.

A poll on this channel about which team will be Red Bull's closest competitor this year received over a hundred and sixty thousand votes and McLaren won it with a forty one percent share.

The expectation on McLaren going into twenty twenty four is immense having more than recovered from the setback of the previous twelve months through twenty twenty three.

Now, adding a new wind tunnel and simulator into the mix and the arrival of big hires from Red Bull and Ferrari means bigger and better things are expected still.

A title fight isn't demanded, but another step absolutely is, and the only way to improve on a spate of second place finishes in the second half of the year is to win in the year.

But what if that doesn't happen?

And what will Lando Norris do, entering the penultimate year of his contract, if this is just an even more extreme version of the false dawn from a couple of years ago?

The weight of expectation will test the merits of McLaren's recovery in the year and potentially determine whether Norris sticks around, or if a rival team's given a great opportunity to swoop for him instead.

Fernando Alonso fought for and scored regular podiums in F One last year for the first time in a decade, and admitted at the end of the season that it was a boost to his enjoyment and motivation.

But Aston Martin's competitiveness dropped through the season and Alonso went from being Red Bull's main irritator early on to being a lower point scorer for most of the rest of the campaign.

That needs to be avoided in the year to keep Alonso happy and to keep the team on the trajectory he demands.

It's not his own ability that he says will drive him to the exit door, but other factors, namely his enjoyment and whether this is all worth it.

One factor Alonso has cited is the scheduled demands of modern F One, and again, this brutally long the year with the GP and six sprint races will be the biggest test yet of anyone's resolve, and even Alonso isn't immune to the demands of the most bloated F One calendar ever.

There's optimism within Aston Martin that key lessons learned last year will feed into another step forward in the year.

If not, this could be the year Alonso wonders whether it's all still worth it.

There were times that what we now know as the Stake F One team had the slowest car in the year.

That's not ideal for a team that's going to become Audi's official works entry in a couple of years.

It's shown no sign of returning to the top of the midfield, and has instead been fighting to stay off the bottom of the Constructors' Championship.

Improvements were made in the speed and effectiveness of the team's development, but nothing like that of Alfa Tauri, for example.

And if Stake continues to be on the wrong side of the tighter than ever field spread in the year, then Audi might start to worry.

Behind the scenes, investment and its gradual takeover of the team are the most important factors in preparing for the year, but sooner or later this really needs to manifest itself in on track improvements.

And it's not just the pace of the car, but also operational issues that continue to hold this team back.

Another poor season at the back of the grid will make it even harder to achieve its aim of being very competitive within three years of Audi entering F One.

For the first time in F One history, the exact same driver line up that ended one season will start the next, but that surely won't continue in the next.

All eyes are on Ferrari junior Oli Beerman and Mercedes hotshot Andrea Kimi Antonelli who are teammates in Formula Two and are looking to put pressure on from below.

And with the potential for reshuffles elsewhere on the grid, the knock on effect is surely going to be some drivers in the final year of their contract getting squeezed off the grid.

Kevin Magnussen will be feeling the heat, having had a highly challenging year in which Nico Hülkenberg usurped him as the Haas spearhead, especially as Biermann impressed the team during his two free practice outings.

Hülkenberg may have other options even if he doesn't continue with Haas, but he's a driver who relies entirely on a team wanting to pay for his services, rather than bringing money to the table or having an in with a particular manufacturer.

We'll decide whether Valtteri Bottas still wants to continue in a stuttering Sauber environment in the hope of being part of the furniture when Audi takes over fully, or whether the team decides to replace him to start setting up the line up Audi wants.

His teammate Joe Guagnou is in a more precarious position.

Without a significant improvement this year, he'll face a tough time justifying earning a fourth season in F One.

We can probably include Lance Stroll in this group too, although the decision to end his career comes down to either him not wanting to do this anymore, or his place in the team his father runs suddenly becoming less secure.

And after an unconvincing rookie season in which he didn't secure his seat for a second year until very late in the day, Logan Sargent has a lot to do to show Williams or anyone else in F One that he's worth backing longer term.

All the way at the other end of the grid, it's worth factoring in what Sergio Perez does if Red Bull, rightly or wrongly, dispenses of him at the end of his contract.

Perez still has a lot to offer the right F One team and clearly wants to keep his career going, but if there is no Red Bull future for him, surely only a good alternative, not just any port in a storm, will be worth his time.

The Haas F One team has split with its long time and popular team boss Gunther Steiner because Steiner believes the team needs more investment from its owner to become more competitive again, and that owner disagrees.

This season will start to tell us who is right, and what if Gene's the one who's wrong.

His team's just lost its most recognisable asset.

It risks becoming a team that doesn't stand out from the crowd at all, has next to no history and will be less appealing to partners, and potentially becomes no more successful if Gene isn't digging into his pocket.

If the team keeps underachieving and Haas still has no interest in investing further, will he sell, or will we find out that he's actually quite happy keeping things ticking over just because he can?

It has massive implications for the team and for F One.

A committed Haas with the investment is an asset, and so is selling the entry to an interesting new participant like Andretti with the Works General Motors engine in the future.

But a team just existing to hoover up prize money with no ambition or realistic path to do any better will give F One a big headache and no obvious way of resolving it.

It's been nearly two years since a possible breakaway series, however unlikely, started to get talked about in the F One paddock in the most hypothetical terms.

And since then, under FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulaim, F One and its governing body haven't looked any closer to settling their differences.

If anything, the divide is bigger than ever, and it all feels like it's only one or two flashpoints away from outright civil war.

Ben Salahiem has been much more interventionist than his predecessor Jean Todt, which has resulted in many changes to the FIA structure, influenced the issues it has tackled each season, and often meant handling those issues in unsatisfactory ways.

Ben Salahiem's earned himself a legal letter from F One for comments made about a possible sale of the commercial rights, and been criticised for starting the process of looking into an eleventh team, even though F One itself didn't want one.

That led to the current impasse over the General Motors backed Andretti entry that the FIA has now formally approved but is still in limbo as F One weighs it up from a commercial standpoint.

The embattled FIA president has caused his organisation other problems too, with various ill advised interventions raising questions over whether it's helping F One or hurting it.

Twenty twenty four hasn't started much better with the news that sporting director Steve Nilsson and technical director Tim Goss have both left the FIA one year after assuming key roles in a much vaunted new FIA F One structure.

It sends a bad message, especially against the wider context of Ben Salaim's chastening presidency.

Can FIA F One relations really survive more body blows in twenty twenty four?

Those are our picks for the most uncomfortable questions going into the new season, but what do you think?

Have your say in the comments and let us know if there's anything you think we've missed.
