Formula 1's Qatar Grand Prix sees minimal technical updates as the 2024 season approaches its final rounds, with only two teams introducing new components.

Alpine leads the updates with significant modifications to their front end:

• New front wing with reprofiled elements focused on inboard areas
• Improved flow management and local load gains
• Shorter nose design featuring a detached first element
• Front wing and nose modifications work in tandem for enhanced performance

Stake Sauber brings the only other upgrade:

• Modified front wing design with trimmed-down elements
• Enhanced balance range capabilities

The limited number of updates is influenced by:

• Qatar being the second of three consecutive race weekends
• Sprint race format restricting practice time
• Teams shifting focus to 2025 development
• Single practice session before Sprint qualifying

Most teams maintain their existing configurations as they prepare for the 2025 season, prioritizing stability over late-season modifications.
