Hope for Verstappen: Red Bull confirms crucial upgrade for Austria

Finishing fourth in Barcelona, Max Verstappen managed to maximise the result in a weekend where Red Bull Racing didn’t have the pace to seriously fight with the other frontrunner teams. But there is hope: at the next Grand Prix in Austria, a major update package will be introduced, including slimming down the overweight RB22, Laurent Mekies confirmed.

The French team principal told, among others, GPblog: "In Austria, hopefully we'll get lighter there. The plan is to get the car to eat a little bit less there, and to get on a bit of a diet."
