The end of the season in 2024 is not only tight, but too tight, and at the same time many championship participants have to solve important sports problems, and this is best done without being distracted by other matters. Furthermore, the weekend program in Qatar includes a sprint, meaning the teams only have one training session available and there is simply no time to work with new products.
Nevertheless, the two teams still brought some technical innovations to Qatar, although very few in number.

The A524 has a modernized front wing, on which the profile of the main elements has been changed, including the first one which is now separated from the nose fairing.
As is clear from the explanation of the Renault factory team, “the repurposing of all elements of the front wing, especially the areas adjacent to the bodywork, allows better control of the airflow parameters and also achieves a local increase in airflow . downward force….”
The nose cone as a whole has been made slightly shorter, i.e. it has been brought into line with the new geometry of the front wing.
Sauber
On the C44, the changes also affected the front wing area: the adjustable element was slightly reduced, which was done to expand the range of settings for this important aerodynamic body kit part.
The remaining eight teams reported no new products.
