Seven of the 10 teams made adjustments to at least one of their cars ahead of the Sprint in Qatar. Entering parc fermé after sprint qualifying, quite a few adjustments were made. Among others, Red Bull have modified the cars of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. The McLarens, on the other hand, have not been changed after Lando Norris claimed pole position in SQ3.
The changes made by Red Bull and other constructors are permitted (Sergio Perez and Franco Colapinto are required to start from the pit lane for a different reason) and therefore no penalties will follow for the teams and drivers concerned. Verstappen received a new fuse pin in the chassis, but an adjustment was made to the rear of the car, one of the rear brace duct upper winglets was adjusted.
McLaren are the only frontrunner team that did not make any adjustments during the parc fermé in Qatar. Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Alpine ánd Williams made adjustments to both of their cars. See the changes made below!
