The summer break is over, and teams can get ready for the Dutch Grand Prix. The question now is: who will come out of the four-week break best? The FIA has released a document detailing this weekend's upgrades. See below which adjustments the Formula 1 teams have made for the race weekend in Zandvoort.

One upgrade for Verstappen and Red Bull

It is the home Grand Prix for Max Verstappen, and many fans are hoping the Dutchman wins the race at Zandvoort as a result. After all, he could also take his ninth win in a row this weekend. Red Bull is taking only one upgrade to the car this weekend. The upgrade concerns the beam wing. The function of this wing is to produce more downforce and send a lot of dirty air upwards. The update should ensure improved pressure distribution and performance.
