The F1 champions and its current closest challengers are several teams to bring performance-related upgrades to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.
“McLaren is intensifying competition against Red Bull in the F1 title race with a new low-downforce rear wing introduction for the British Grand Prix. The battle for supremacy between the two teams heats up at Silverstone, with McLaren strategically enhancing its MCL38 with a key component. The focus is on reducing drag at Silverstone, optimizing performance for the long full-throttle stretches, including Luffield, Maggots, Becketts, and the Hangar Straight, as drivers Norris and Piastri sport the special low-drag rear wings. Woking engineers have also fine-tuned the beam wing, seeking to balance downforce and drag efficiently while extending the wing’s operational range. McLaren’s updates respond to the Austrian GP incident, where Norris clashed with Verstappen, prompting Red Bull to introduce subtle upgrades to the RB20 for Silverstone, particularly enhancing the floor’s energy application and edge wing profile. Additionally, Ferrari has chosen not to upgrade the SF-24 but instead plans to conduct back-to-back assessments of existing parts pending favorable weather conditions. Mercedes unveils a rear corner upgrade on the W15 aimed at enhancing airflow attachment and producing increased local load. Haas presents the most comprehensive package on the grid, deploying new components to the floor, sidepods, and engine cover to maximize downforce and streamline airflow. Aston Martin and Stake also reveal upgrades for their respective cars, including a front-wing upgrade and a winglet addition on the halo for aero optimization.
