The 2024 Formula 1 cars show a trend towards the Red Bull design, with Mercedes and Ferrari making significant changes to catch up. Ferrari's SF-24 features a move towards a Red Bull-like undercut sidepod design, achieved by increasing the chassis length and relocating radiators.

Both teams are aiming to create a more effective aerodynamic platform to compete with Red Bull.
