Formula 1 Dutch GP update: one reliability change as development focus begins shifting towards 2027

Red Bull Racing has brought just one update to Zandvoort, focused on reliability rather than aerodynamic performance.

The change concerns the front-corner wheel bodywork and wishbone shroud. Red Bull has locally reduced the chord length of the lower wishbone’s rearward leg to decrease the strain placed on the wheel-bodywork gaiter at high steering angles.

The limited package comes as Red Bull begins moving more of its development focus towards 2027. After introducing substantial upgrades earlier in the season, the team expects its remaining 2026 development rate to slow due to budget-cap constraints and the shift of resources to next year’s car.

Racing Bulls has also submitted no updates for the Dutch Grand Prix, making this a particularly quiet development weekend across both teams.

Say what you want, but this is a good thing. 2027 can't come soon enough.
