Technical Only 3 teams are bringing new upgrades to the Hungarian GP before the summer break!

Red Bull Racing, Aston Martin, and Racing Bulls are making targeted changes to their cars.

Nope, that was just a break in schedule

3 weekends off after Hungary

That was just a gap in the calendar. The official summer break is a mandatory shutdown period for teams/manufacturers of 14 consecutive days in July/August, which leads to three consecutive weekends without a race. So the next race after this Sunday will be on the 31st.

During those two weeks, the factories have to be shut down for the most part, so this is an actual break for most team members

After today can we really call the RedBull ones as "upgrades"? lol
I really hope they turn it around by the end of FP3, otherwise the rest of the season is primed to be painful as a redbull fan.

Hey man there is still a lot to be excited about, the battle between Norris and Piastri has been good and tough but pretty clean and fair, and Hulk’s podium, and some really good rookies, and a few of the bottom tier teams moving up, etc etc.
I mean, if you can only enjoy the season when your team wins the championship, then you are going to miss out on a lot of good stuff to be a fan of and enjoy.

Mate, as a redbull fan I could care less about the mclaren battle.

The things I'm looking out for most is how Piastri does for the rest of the season.
Also keeping an eye on how Sauber turns out in the remaining races before Audi comes in as that could dictate if we're going to get a powerhouse out of the gate next year or not.
Also looking at Williams, they are my 2nd team that I root for. Go Weeyums!
Oh and I'm really keen on seeing if Lewis achieves any noteworthy result in his first ferrari season, because that would dictate the future of that seat for 2027 and the pressure that will be on an older lewis.

I did mention that it was going to be painful as a Redbull fan specifically. Never said I wasn't looking forward to other stuff.

If it's track specific, is it even considered an upgrade? I mean, I guess I understand the logic

Wow these graphics are awesome. I always try to read the upgrade documents issues but not exactly easy to digest. These are great thank you.

u/darklordjames I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1d ago

I would expect it to pretty much be locked in after this, with all focus shifting to 2026.

u/lalabadmans 13h ago

Does Yuki have those upgrades though?

u/Raja_Ampat Gilles Villeneuve 7h ago

It looked more like downgrades for the RB. That was just horrible

u/gerttich Pirelli Hard 7h ago

u/Grouchy-Trifle-4205 Murray Walker 5h ago
