I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
This coming weekend, several teams are set to introduce new updates—among them top contenders like McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari. For Red Bull, the focus is firmly on improvement after a disappointing performance last week in Bahrain, where Max Verstappen’s team fell short of expectations.
The updates at McLaren
The current leader in the Constructors’ Championship has brought two key updates to Jeddah. First, the rear diffuser has been modified in an effort to optimise airflow and enhance aerodynamic performance. Additionally, the rear brake duct has been replaced, aiming to improve overall efficiency.

Ferrari has introduced three updates in Jeddah, all focused on the rear of the car. The rear wing has been redesigned with the goal of reducing drag, which should help increase top speed. Additionally, the beam wing has been modified compared to previous races, further contributing to improved straight-line performance.
