Red Bull is the only one of the leading four F1 teams to submit an upgrade to the FIA for the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Milton Keynes-based squad has introduced an updated front wing for the RB21 at Max Verstappen's home race, whilst McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes have detailed no visible changes to the MCL39, SF-25 and W16, respectively.

As confirmed by the motorsport governing body's disclosure document, due to the demands of Circuit Zandvoort, Red Bull has increased the chord length of its front wing flaps to increase the load available via angle.

The six-time constructors' champion is one of just three teams to bring a development to its car for the first weekend back after the F1-mandated summer shutdown.

Alpine and Stake have both made changes to the rear corners of their cars.

The former has altered the rear brake duct furniture, which includes a set of reprofiled winglets. These are designed to improve the wake management of the rear wheels.

The latter, meanwhile, has updated the rear brake duct vane design to improve flow around the diffuser and rear wheels.

With F1 set to overhaul its regulations over the winter, relatively few upgrades are expected over the final part of the season as teams turn more and more of their attention to 2026.
