At Monza, Red Bull Racing introduced an upgrade package in an effort to regain competitiveness lost earlier in the season when they were regularly in contention for points. The team faced challenges after unintended characteristics emerged from developments in Spain, leading them to abandon some new parts. One of the key elements in the upgrade was a new floor aimed at boosting downforce and managing airflow, although this did not yield expected results for driver Yuki Tsunoda. Tsunoda’s disappointing performance in qualifying and the race raised concerns about the effectiveness of the upgrades, with the driver expressing frustration over the lack of pace and handling issues compared to his teammate Daniel Ricciardo. Despite the struggles, Red Bull Racing found a silver lining in gathering valuable data to analyze the new components versus the previous package, even though they ended the race without scoring points, maintaining their sixth position in the Constructors’ Championship.
