Only Red Bull, Alpine and Sauber Bring Updates to Dutch GP as Development Slows
Teams are prioritizing 2026 projects under the cost cap, leaving only small, circuit-focused changes this weekend.
Overview
- Red Bull’s FIA-documented tweak extends the front-wing flap chord to increase available load for Zandvoort’s demands.
- Yuki Tsunoda trialed Red Bull’s new front wing in Friday practice, while Max Verstappen ran the existing specification.
- Alpine reprofiled rear brake-duct winglets to improve rear wheel wake management for stability and efficiency.
- Sauber introduced an updated rear brake-duct vane to alter airflow around the diffuser and rear wheels for better balance.
- McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Haas and Williams brought no updates as most teams conserve resources for the 2026 rules.
