Williams eye Baku boost as every team's upgrades revealed
Teams have arrived at the Baku City Circuit for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with varying approaches to aerodynamic upgrades. While championship leaders Mercedes, Ferrari, Alpine, Haas, and Aston Martin have opted to bring no changes this weekend, several other teams are pushing hard to optimize their performance.
McLaren has introduced a comprehensive package focused on flow conditioning, featuring redesigned sidepods, engine covers, and floor edges to boost aerodynamic efficiency. Red Bull is taking a more subtle approach, refining floor geometry, sidepods, and cooling louvres to increase downforce, while Racing Bulls has updated its front wing and brake ducts to better manage downstream airflow.
Audi has brought an ambitious 14-part upgrade, including a new front wing, nose, and floor, aiming to close the gap in the midfield. Williams has introduced an updated floor assembly and rear geometry to improve performance, although drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon remain cautious about the impact. Finally, Cadillac has focused on brake cooling efficiency and diffuser adjustments to gain a competitive edge on the challenging street circuit.
