Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Rear Wing | Circuit specific - Drag Range | Rear wing central winglet span reduced | Reducing the span of the central winglet mounted above the rear wing flap sheds local downforce and drag at a ratio appropriate for Madrid L/D. |
| 2 | Exhaust Tailpipe | Circuit specific - Drag Range | Additional winglet added behind exhaust | Additional winglet added to increase exhaust flow turning to generate load and drag at a ratio appropriate for Madrid L/D. |
| 3 | Front Drum | Performance - Flow Conditioning | Front lip reprofiled | Front lip reprofiled to improve flow attachment through all steer conditions, resulting in improved flow to the rear of the car. |

Oracle Red Bull Racing.

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Rear Corner | Reliability | Rear wheel bodywork assembly | Continuing the work from Monza, the new and more robust gaitor gains winglets downstream of the suspension fairings seeking to restore the load of earlier races whilst maintaining a sealed wheel bodywork. |
| 2 | Floor Bib | Reliability | A geometric change between floor and chassis | When deflected, the laminate and shape have been altered to ideally eliminate deterioration of the structure and aerodynamic surfaces by reducing the local strain. |

| No. | Updated component | Primary reason for update | Geometric differences | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Rear Wing Flap | Performance - Local Load | Updated Rear Wing Flap Trailing Edge Winglet | The reintroduction of a revised Rear Wing Flap central trailing edge winglet serves to generate more rear aerodynamic load, whilst improving overall aerodynamic stability throughout a range of operating conditions |
| 2 | Diffuser Vane | Performance – Local Load | Addition of vane to inner trailing edge of outboard diffuser sidewall | A small vertical turning vane has been added to the inner trailing edge of the outboard diffuser sidewall, which improves aerodynamic performance in the outer floor channels and increases the load at the rear of the car |
