Red Bull Racing plans a second major upgrade for the 2026 season, targeting the Austrian GP.

Laurent Mekies says the new package must bring tangible lap‑time gains; the team has already cut weight and redesigned sidepods in Miami. The Austrian upgrade aims to reduce a four‑tenths deficit that still separates RB22 from front‑row cars.

Ferrari’s Barcelona upgrade proved effective, earning Lewis Hamilton a win and narrowing the gap to Mercedes. Red Bull’s Austrian package is critical to keep pace, especially on tracks that expose chassis weaknesses.

The team’s goal is to hit the 768‑kg minimum and improve mid‑ and high‑speed corners. Success will put Red Bull in genuine contention against Ferrari and Mercedes for the season’s top spots.
