Red Bull are the only of Formula 1’s big hitters to bring any form of upgrade to this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.
Red Bull is the only team in Formula 1 to bring upgrades to this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, focusing on a change to the RB21’s front wing by adding longer chord front flaps for increased load on the circuit. Other top teams like McLaren, Ferrari, and Mercedes have chosen not to introduce new parts for this race. Alpine has updated its rear brake duct furniture to enhance rear wheel wake management, while Sauber has also made improvements with an upgraded rear brake duct vane design. These changes affect the flow field around the rear of the car, particularly near the diffuser and rear wheels. As teams shift focus to the 2026 season and new regulations, the grid seems to be cautious, opting to maintain their current setups rather than make drastic changes. This strategic approach is exemplified by Yuki Tsunoda’s acknowledgment of the car’s specification differences at Red Bull compared to Max Verstappen.
