These are all the changes that Red Bull F1 made to their car for Imola.
The first European Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season is traditionally the venue for The first set of improvements are usually made to cars.since this happens two months after the start of the campaign and delivering the parts is easier from a logistics point of view.
Red Bull this Friday led an updated presentation document released by the FIA, including a series of new parts for the RB20. with whom, for example, Max Verstappen has already won four victories this year.
The most important aerodynamic component of the current generation of cars – the floor – is a modified area. The energy drink team lowered the top surface of the main floor housing to improve airflow.and increase downforce levels. The front edge of the floor has also been re-profiled to support greater loads.
At the front of the car, The RB20 features a completely new front spoiler.. The leading edge of the endplate has been repositioned to improve cornering stability, and the third and fourth flaps now have a longer profile to generate more downforce. To take these settings into account, Red Bull had to change the nose as well camera fairingsto optimize air flow.
Already behind updated body around the wheels, to improve cooling. Red Bull has changed the design of the spoilers at the outlet of the brake ducts so that they are more effective.
Milton Keynes update has arrived one race after McLaren’s major update package for the Miami Grand Prix, which the Woking team also planned to hold at Imola, but managed to hold.
McLaren’s improvements helped Lando Norris take his first win on an American circuit, and although a timely safety car secured his track position, the British showed good speed on medium and hard tires to beat Max Verstappen.
Most of the attention will be focused on Can Red Bull now regain the significant margin it had before Miami with these improvements?and confirm that the European phase of the 2024 season will be a “travel”, as has been customary in recent years.
Otherwise, Ferrari, Mercedes and Aston Martin also introduced a significant number of updates.. Improvements from Maranello were first presented at shooting day in Fiorano and include several different elements such as floor, two spoilers, diffuser and engine cover.

McLaren has continued to update the Miami, which will now also be available to Oscar Piastri. with a more efficient rear wing in a bid to improve aerodynamic efficiency. And as Williams team manager James Vowles explained on Thursday: The Grove team sent a geometrically identical but lighter floor to reduce weight in the FW46.
