GPblog readers believe Red Bull can bounce back in Miami with the substantial upgrade package seen on track during Silverstone’s filming day.
Yesterday was largely focused on on-track action, with Ferrari kicking things off by debuting a heavily revised SF-26 at Monza, featuring significant changes across several areas.
Red Bull have endured a disappointing start to the season, collecting just 16 points across the opening three races and currently sitting not only behind Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren, but also trailing a surprisingly strong Haas and Alpine.

Despite the results so far telling a different story, readers remain confident, with a strong 75 percent backing Red Bull to bounce back in Miami and get their season back on track, while the remaining 25 percent are sceptical about that scenario.
"Can't wait to hear about the upgrades, hopefully it will give us a 4 team fight at the front"
One user hopes the new RB22 can spark an exciting four-team fight at the front in Formula 1, although Mercedes have comfortably swept aside the opposition across Melbourne, Shanghai and Japan.

What upgrades did Red Bull bring to Silverstone?

A dive plane has also been added to the endplate, in line with solutions seen on other top teams, with the aim of generating a vortex to help seal the floor and prevent turbulent airflow from being pulled underneath the car.

Further changes appear to have been made to the sidepods, which look noticeably different from the Suzuka specification. The upper surface now adopts a more stepped, downward-sloping profile, designed to create a cleaner channel and direct airflow more efficiently towards the rear diffuser.
