With six rounds left in the 2024 F1 season, Red Bull’s chances of defending the Drivers’ and Constructors’ championships may hinge on the success of their latest upgrades package. Max Verstappen leads the Drivers’ standings by 52 points over Lando Norris from McLaren, while Red Bull trails McLaren by 41 points in the Constructors’ standings. To challenge McLaren, Red Bull will introduce a “revised edge wing camber” on the rearward third of their RB20. These upgrades are the result of lessons learned at the Italian Grand Prix in August, according to Verstappen. Meanwhile, McLaren continues to push for performance gains at the Circuit of the Americas, focusing on airflow improvements at the front of their MCL38. Mercedes, after a strong start, is bringing extensive upgrades to their W15, including changes to the flap twist distribution, front suspension, and floor for optimized airflow. So, the battle for supremacy in the F1 season intensifies as teams like Aston Martin also make significant technical changes to their cars.
