Red Bull confirms final major F1 upgrade of 2026 for Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar

Red Bull is one of the teams bringing a major upgrade package to the Baku City Circuit. At Williams, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix had already been circled in red for a long time, while McLaren has arrived with significantly revised sidepods, among other changes.

The FIA’s technical document also shows five upgrades for Red Bull. The most significant of these is a new floor “with subtle changes within the permitted geometry to extract more local load whilst maintaining flow stability”. In line with that new floor, the sidepods and mirror assembly geometry have also been modified by the technical team led by Pierre Waché.
