While the likes of Lando Norris, Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu and Lewis Hamilton are currently enjoying their single status, the majority of F1's 2024 grid remains committed—I suppose fast cars, a packed calendar and plenty of adrenaline makes being an F1 driver's partner a particularly exciting prospect.
