Max Verstappen confirmed after his victory in Britain that Red Bull Racing will start in Hungary with updates. Auto, Motor und Sport knows how much time gain that should give the RB19: two tenths.

The usually well-informed German medium reports that Verstappen's team has significantly redesigned the bodywork, especially the sidepods. So while changes to the floor, for example, are not visible to fans, the RB19 will not only be faster from Budapest, but also look quite different from the first 10 GPs of 2023.

Keep developing

Red Bull has the two world titles up for grabs this year and that means the gaze can turn early to next season. No doubt they will do the same in Milton Keynes, but that does not mean there is nothing at all on the cards for the second half of the season.

Improvements are also expected after the summer break. The regulations for 2024 are almost identical to those of this season and so the Austrian racing stable also wants to test new parts as soon as possible towards next year.
