In the final race before F1’s summer shutdown, Red Bull has rolled out a new upgrade, and is one of the few teams to do so.
Red Bull is among the few F1 teams introducing upgrades before the summer break, trailing Ferrari and Mercedes in the midfield battle, conscious of the significant difference in prize money for each position attained. As the focus shifts towards 2026 and new regulations, the number of upgrades will decrease progressively throughout the season. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Red Bull has revamped the front wing and corner of its RB21 for enhanced performance at the Hungaroring, aiming to optimize local load management. The alterations include a front wing with an elongated second element to boost load, and a redesigned front corner with a larger scoop intake and exit duct for improved brake cooling efficiency. Similarly, Aston Martin has rolled out a more aggressive front wing design tailored for the circuit. Red Bull Racing’s cars now feature a modified front brake drum shape to enhance airflow toward the rear, alongside circuit-specific cooling louvres due to the high temperatures at the venue necessitating increased engine cooling capacity. Notably, the other seven teams have not unveiled any updates for the upcoming race.
