With the curtain falling on Monza, Formula 1 leaves Europe, but updates will not stop arriving until the end of the year. It couldn’t be otherwise with technical regulations that will remain almost unchanged in 2025, making the next cars direct descendants of the current ones. With 8 Grands Prix still to be held We are still waiting for news from all the teamsincluding those who have been most active on the development front in recent weeks.
What’s new on your return
With the resumption of the championship, McLaren and Ferrari have earned the spotlight, and not only for their victories at Zandvoort and Monza. In Holland The Woking team has introduced its second major package of the season after the one in Miami, with the modifications concentrated in the floor area and in the cooling ducts of the front brakes, also useful for the thermal management of the tires. In Italy instead it was the turn of the home team, with the Reds equipped with new bodywork and floor to reduce the sensitivity to bouncing.
Ferrari and McLaren don’t stop there, however, with their respective Team Principals having announced the arrival of other new featureslike Red Bull and Mercedes. The Woking and Maranello teams are also looking with optimism to the super-fast tracks of Baku and Las Vegas, being able to count on dedicated low-downforce rear wings already used at Spa and Monza, unlike their competitors.
As for the second half of the line-up, in the last two events we can point out a new fund for Racing Bulls and a new front wing at home Haas. He also tries Sauber with a renewed fund, while Williams the first real big seasonal package is in the car. Here is a summary of all the developments introduced since the beginning of the year.
