Car Presentation – 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team No updates submitted for this event. Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix Oracle Red Bull Racing Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences compared to previous version Brief description on how the update works (min 20, max 100 words) 1 Floor Body & Diffuser Performance - Local Load Revised floor and diffuser geometries. The realisation of development iterations sees a new floor geometry with subtle changes within the permitted geometry to extract more local load whilst maintaining flow stability. 2 Sidepod Performance - Local Load Revised split line to the floor Accompanying the new floor, the sidepod has been revised with a new junction or split line to the floor, to supplement the floor changes yielding more local load. 3 Cooling louvres Reliability Revised to suit the sidepod To blend the new sidepod to existing surrounding geometry, the cooling louvres have been revised whilst maintaining the range of cooling levels offered previously. 4 Mirrors Flow Conditioning Revised mirror geometry Also accompanying the floor and sidepod, the mirror assembly geometry has been revised to aid the downstream conditioning and supplement the local load increase. 5 Halo Flow Conditioning Revised halo fairing geometry A small change to revise a turning vane on the fairing to better serve downstream components, the flow stability and therefore load generation. Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix SCUDERIA FERRARI HP No updates submitted for this event. Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix Williams Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences compared to previous version Brief description on how the update works (min 20, max 100 words) 1 Floor Performance - Local Load An updated Floor Bodywork Assembly has been introduced, including new Floor Leading Edge devices, Floor Body and Floor Corner geometry. We have modified the forward and outboard regions of the floor to extract more performance both locally and across the main underfloor surfaces. 2 Tail Performance - Local Load A revised Tail geometry has been introduced to suit the new Floor update. The new surfaces work together with the new floor to generate increased performance locally around the RIS. 3 Front Corner Performance - Flow Conditioning Reprofiled surfaces have been applied to the Front Brake Duct flow conditioning devices. The forward and rearward regions of the Front Wheel Bodywork have been updated to offer both improved interaction with the Front Wing and an improved downstream flow field with the rest of the car. 4 Rear Suspension Performance - Local Load A change in suspension cladding orientation. To suit the new onset flow, the surfaces on the rear suspension have been realigned to offer additional performance in the rear corner. 5 Rear Corner Performance - Local Load The Rear Brake Duct furniture has been modified with new leading edge features. The previously described geometry changes have unlocked a new flow field opportunity in the rear corner and we have been able to extract additional performance in this region by retuning these devices. Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences compared to previous version Brief description on how the update works (min 20, max 100 words) 1 Front Wing Performance – Flow Conditioning New front wing assembly The new front wing geometry helps establish a clean flow field, which leads to improved performance from the components downstream of it. 2 Front Corner Performance – Flow Conditioning New brake duct and front lip Working in conjunction with the new front wing, the front corner & suspension updates help manage the flow downstream and around the car, allowing the floor to perform effectively. 3 Front Suspension Performance – Flow Conditioning Profile changes to suspension legs Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team No updates submitted for this event. Car Presentation – Baku Grand Prix TGR HAAS F1 TEAM No update for this event Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix Audi Revolut F1 Team Updated component Primary reason for update Geometric differences compared to previous version Brief description on how the update works (min 20, max 100 words) 1 Front Wing Performance – Flow conditioning Full FW + Nose Fairing A full new front wing is introduced alongside an update nose fairing to deliver a better flow to the rest of the car while covering the balance levels of the new package. 2 Front Wing Endplate 3 Nose 4 Front Suspension Performance – Flow conditioning New front suspensions covers The front suspension fairings were revised to complement the revised front wing and nose and support the aerodynamic intent of the new package. 5 Floor Body Performance – Local load New floor A new floor is introduced for this event. All surfaces are new and designed to deliver a consistent load increase.6 Floor leading edge devices 7 Diffuser 8 Halo Performance – Flow conditioning New bodywork and halo fairing Revised bodywork and associated cooling options are introduced to work with the updated package and improve management of the downstream flow structures. 9 Coke/Engine Cover 10 Rear Suspension Performance – Local load New Rear suspension covers and rear brake duct furniture The rear suspension covers and brake duct elements have been revised to complement the updated rear end flow field and improve aerodynamic performance. 11 Rear Corner 12 Beam Wing Performance – Local load New rear wing assembly A revised rear wing assembly is introduced featuring updated elements designed to operate as part of the overall aerodynamic package. 13 Rear Wing 14 Rear Wing Endplate Car Presentation – Azerbaijan Grand Prix BWT Alpine F1 Team No updates submitted for this event.
