Revised tyre pressure rules for 2024 mean riders must stay above a lower front minimum of 1.8 ไbar (insꦓtead of 1.88) for 60% (instead of 50%) of a Grand Prix distance, or 30% of a Sprint.

The punishment for failing to meet the minimum in a ꩲGrand Prix is a 16-second post-race time penalty, or an 8-second penalty for a Sprint/short race.
