Teams’ upgrades for the first round of resumed championship
While some teams are preparing a significant update packages for the first race of the season-2020, others are limited to «winter» developments and solutions.
The 2020 season starts at an unusual time for the championship - only in the middle of summer. Sticking to the usual Formula 1 calendar, at the moment we could see the end of the first part of the season and could make more or less thorough predictions about the winners this year. In particular, we would already have an idea of the cars’ potential, since usually by this time the teams have time to go through several stages of updating their cars.
In 2020 everything is different. However, the teams had time and opportunities to improve their technique, which is what some of them did.
As usual, the current champions Mercedes team are ready to surprise us with their new technical solutions. The team is about to bring a large package of updates, following their plan, that is, the new items that they would show at the Grand Prix since March.
Another top - Red Bull team - has modified the aero system on their cars. In addition, Honda engines will also arrive in Austria updated.
While Mercedes and Red Bull are going to perform with "better" cars, their rival Ferrari decided to focus on development direction instead of showing any updates, including power unit. According to information from the team, they won’t have updates until Hungarian Grand Prix.
