The intriguing upgrades Ferrari and Red Bull are set to bring to Spain

Some part of it about budget usage
Are Red Bull staying within their budget?
In Miami, rumours went around the paddock - which our sources proved to be unfounded - about Red Bull already using up 75 per cent of their development budget for the season.

That would have meant around 27 million euros being spent from an estimated budget of just under 36 million.

However, since the beginning of the season, and more specifically the first test in Barcelona, ​​Red Bull's aero developments have focused exclusively on bodywork and the evolution of front and rear wings, depending on the specific load requirements of the various circuits.

Aside from this, the only other development was the aforementioned floor redesign, aimed at shedding weight. Some other CNC-machined elements were made lighter, but the economic impact of this would only be in the tens of thousands of euros.

According to our sources, in percentage terms, Red Bull have so far used no more than 18 per cent of their budget set for developments.

In fact, it seems that the package planned for Barcelona will not be Red Bull's biggest of the season. It is believed that they are already working towards major aero changes at Silverstone in early July.

Sounds more logical than 75% of it blown already.

I mean what upgrades have they brought to the table? There was a different side pod in Bahrain, and the suspension in Barcelona.

I think theres been the cannards around the T-tray area and not sure off the top of my head what other upgrades they have brought that are 'big'.

Correct, there was weight saving though, around 3 kg, and they made changes to the brake drums.

Looking at the latest Mercedes front wing, I expect all teams to work on that one too.

I cant see there being a huge amount of cost in the weight saving and brake drums.
There hasnt been any upgrades that could have a major effect on the aero though (except side pods which I imagine were already in the pipeline).

Im actually a little surprised that key aero parts arent designed in sections, to bring changes to a certain area without having to re-develop the whole area. For example the rear cut out in the floor. If they decided they didnt want that, just change a small section rather than a complete floor. However im sure there is good reason why its not like this,.

Hi-ho, hi-ho,
It's off to work we go,
Off to shed some weight,
About 10 kilos or so....
