'Subtle' upgrade to floor is part of Red Bull's latest Formula 1 developments, as team 'doesn't want to watch Monza again'
Red Bull has introduced a revised floor for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as it seeks to arrest its current slide and defend its Formula 1 championships. The team has managed just two podium finishes in the last six races, as its form nosedived in recent races. This has put the team's retention of the constructors' title under scrutiny from McLaren and Ferrari, while a fourth drivers' title for Max Verstappen no longer looks guaranteed.
' Monaghan did not confirm whether both drivers would be equipped with the new floor, only going as far as to say that the team 'could' choose to do so. There were just three upgrades declared across the 10 teams ahead of Baku, as Aston Martin introduced a minor update to the deflectors at the rear corner of the car; a revised bottom edge has been produced to draw more performance from the floor.
