In Miami, the team managed to reduce the car's excess weight from 12 to 6 kg, and they plan to reach the minimum possible weight limit of 768 kg by the Austrian Grand Prix. The team also made some steering adjustments, which have once again allowed Verstappen to drive more aggressively.
At the Canadian Grand Prix, Red Bull will introduce only minor updates, while the next major upgrade package, including weight reduction, is expected at the start of the European leg of the calendar—approximately at the Austrian Grand Prix.
