红牛确认巴库站带来2026赛季最后一次重大升级
红牛确认将在巴库城市赛道为维斯塔潘与哈贾尔带来本赛季最后一次重大升级套件，国际汽联技术文件显示共有五项升级，其中最重要的是新底板。
红牛确认了2026年针对维斯塔潘和哈贾尔的最后一项重大F1升级
洛朗·梅基斯承认，红牛的注意力已经转移到了2027年。巴库的升级是本赛季的最后一步，这支总部位于米尔顿凯恩斯的车队仍然希望能赢下一场比赛
红牛是携带重大升级套件前往巴库市赛道的车队之一。在威廉姆斯车队，阿塞拜疆大奖赛早已被用红圈标注了很久，而迈凯伦则带来了经过大幅修改的侧箱等多项改动。
国际汽联的技术文件还显示红牛有五项升级。其中最重要的是一个全新底板，“在允许的几何范围内进行了细微改动，以在保持气流稳定性的同时提取更多的局部下压力”。与新底板相配套，由皮埃尔·瓦谢领导的技术团队还对侧箱和后视镜总成的几何结构进行了修改。
红牛已向Motorsport.赛车运动网确认，车队两位车手本周末都可以使用这套升级件，维斯塔潘和哈贾尔将使用相同的规格。
这是一套相当重要的升级包，但同时也是今年最后一个重要的升级步骤，梅基斯在周四的车队领队新闻发布会上透露。
“这很可能是我们最后一个重要的升级包。我们已经把相当一部分资源，也就是绝大部分资源，转移到了明年的赛车上”，这位红牛车队领队说。
“当然，这并不意味着我们就不再关注本赛季了。首先，我们仍在追逐我们的首场胜利，这是车队的一个重要目标。其次，正如你们所知，明年的规则只有很小的变化，因此在剩余的比赛中我们有很大的机会继续学习，确保我们以尽可能充分的准备迎接明年。”
“但简单来说，是的，这是今年最后一次重大升级。”
如果今年剩余的比赛中无法取得胜利，这将是自2015年以来——十多年前——红牛和维斯塔潘首次在整季中一场大奖赛都未能获胜。维斯塔潘不愿直接表示他预计2026年不会赢下一场比赛，但在蒙扎，考虑到目前的局势，他确实称这种情况非常有可能发生。
不过必须承认，红牛的状态近几周有所提升。维斯塔潘在最近七场大奖赛中有五场登上了领奖台，其中包括最近两个在蒙扎和马德里举行的比赛周末。
这似乎显示出一种上升的趋势，尽管梅基斯知道红牛目前仍未达到他们理想中希望达到的水平。
“让我这么说吧：我们在蒙扎和马德里度过了两个强劲的周末。强劲的周末意味着你在为领奖台而战。我想在最近七场比赛中我们拿到了五六个领奖台，所以这是积极的。
“这是否意味着我们在任何一场比赛中都拥有最快的赛车？不是。所以我们很接近，但我们一直都知道，与最强的对手相比，最后那零点一二三秒是最难追回的。
“有四支车队基本上都处在这零点二到零点三秒的范围之内。所以你可能很快就会从争夺杆位滑落到第四排发车。所以我们认为，是的，我们正在接近。至于这是否足以迈出最后一步、让我们拥有最快赛车节奏，我们认为我们还有工作要做。”

Red Bull confirms final major F1 upgrade of 2026 for Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar
Laurent Mekies acknowledges that Red Bull’s focus has already shifted to 2027. The Baku upgrade is the final step of this F1 season, as the Milton Keynes-based squad hopes to still win a race
Red Bull is one of the teams bringing a major upgrade package to the Baku City Circuit. At Williams, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix had already been circled in red for a long time, while McLaren has arrived with significantly revised sidepods, among other changes.
The FIA’s technical document also shows five upgrades for Red Bull. The most significant of these is a new floor “with subtle changes within the permitted geometry to extract more local load whilst maintaining flow stability”. In line with that new floor, the sidepods and mirror assembly geometry have also been modified by the technical team led by Pierre Waché.
Red Bull has confirmed to Motorsport.com that both drivers will have the upgrade at their disposal this weekend, with Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar running the same specification.
It is a significant package, but also immediately the final notable step of the year, Mekies revealed during Thursday’s team principals’ press conference.
“It's most probably our last significant package. We have switched a significant part of our resources, a very large majority of our resources, to next year's car”, the Red Bull team principal said.
“Now, it doesn't mean that we don't look at this season [anymore]. At first, we are still chasing our first win and that's an important target for the team. And secondly, as you know, the regulations have only very little changes for next year and there are huge opportunities for us to continue to learn in the remaining races, to make sure we arrive as prepared as we can for next year.
“But in short, yes, it's the last significant upgrade for this year.”
Should a victory fail to materialise in the remaining races this year, it would be the first season since 2015 – more than a decade ago – in which both Red Bull and Verstappen fail to win a single Grand Prix. Verstappen does not want to say outright that he expects not to win a race in 2026, but in Monza he did call that scenario very likely given the current state of affairs.
Nevertheless, it has to be said that Red Bull’s form has improved in recent weeks. Verstappen has been on the podium in five of the last seven Grands Prix, including the past two race weekends in Monza and Madrid.
It appears to point to an upward trend, although Mekies knows it is still not at the level Red Bull would ideally like to reach.
“Let me put it this way: we have had two strong weekends in Monza and in Madrid. Now strong weekends mean that you fight for the podium. I think we had five or six podiums in the last seven races, so that is a positive.
“Does it mean that we have had the fastest car in any of the races? No. So we are close, but we always knew the last one, two or three tenths would be the most difficult to gain compared to the best competition.
“There are four teams that pretty much are in within these two or three tenths. So you can slide very quickly from being competing from pole to being on the fourth row. So we think yes, we are getting closer. Whether or not it's going to be enough to get that last step that will give us the fastest car pace, for that we think we still have some work to do.”
