The regulation changes also include a rule preventing double-stacking in pit boxes, a higher entry fee for teams and the addition of overnight curfews for teams’ operational personnel.

In other changes for 2024, drivers who cause a red flag in qualifying could now lose their fastest lap time. According to the tweaked article 33.5, a driver deemed to be the “sole cause” of a red flag cannot continue in qualifying, “and their fastest lap time during the session may be deleted.”
