Red Bull is still several steps ahead of its F1 rivals, but it has taken inspiration from the opposition to continue to improve the RB19. Tech:

At the Spanish Grand Prix, Red Bull appeared with changes to the floor's edge wing and the diffuser, using features widely seen on competitors' machinery.

The upper corner of the diffuser has also been modified with an inverse pocket arrangement employed, similar to many of its competitors. In search of the right setup for the W14, while also working on understanding its new aerodynamic package, Mercedes employed several different solutions during Friday's free practice sessions.

Its front wing has been overhauled as part of the update package, with the span-wise distribution of the upper two flaps altered in order that they're more uniform, rather than having a swooped section ahead of the front tyre. In response to the changes made to the front wing, the team has also reset the angle of the camera pods mounted on the side of the nose, given the airflow reaching them has been altered.
