In Austria, Max Verstappen took another step in the right direction by taking his third Grand Prix victory in a row. He didn't do this entirely with the same car as a week before, as Red Bull Racing came up with some new updates for race two in Austria.

Front wing and bargeboards

Motorsport-Total.com takes a look at the new features of the RB16B. First up was a new front wing specification for the Dutchman. The bargeboards were also redesigned to improve the airflow around the car.

It takes good eyes to see the difference between the old and new front wing, but at the transition of the neutral, middle part to the outside the wing bends upwards. According to the German media, this is an essential point to get right from the front wing in order to perfectly tune the airflow under the car.

New diffuser for Perez

Finally Red Bull brought a new diffuser for Sergio Perez. During the second weekend in Austria, the Mexican received a diffuser with jagged edges.
