Helmut Marko states that Red Bull will be rolling out their newest set of updates soon. Austria and British Formula 1 weekends approach as we get closer to the conclusion of its 2025 development cycle.
Gradually, Red Bull made modifications to the floor, sidepods, and front wing. throughout Miami, Imola, and Barcelona Weekends, with its most recent updates for the 2025 car scheduled to be unveiled this weekend during their home race in Austria, as disclosed by Red Bull advisor Marko.
"An update for Austria is coming soon, and this will later be fine-tuned for Silverstone," Marko said to Kleine Zeitung.
However, if that solution also fails, competing in the world championship will become even more challenging. It’s tough enough as it is.
Marko anticipates these enhancements to be Red Bull's final significant effort for this season, with the squad redirecting their focus entirely towards the comprehensive new rules set to take effect next year.
Marko detailed a specific breakdown of how the wind tunnel and all the equipment are utilized." He continued, "Nonetheless, at a certain stage, individuals might comment: ‘No more advancements can be made.' This conclusion stems from two factors: firstly, time constraints—producing new components requires significant time—and secondly, the budget limit.

The question then becomes: where do you allocate your resources? I expect that by Silverstone or Spa [25-27 July] at the latest, a choice will be made to concentrate solely on the development of the new vehicle.
Marko mentioned that he thinks it’s possible for Red Bull to close the gap by about three-tenths of a second per lap compared to the leading McLarens, though time is running out.
Previewing Red Bull's home race at the Red Bull Ring, he stated: " Max Verstappen He has emerged victorious here five times; this place really agrees with him.
"None of us are alone with tyre issues; everyone is facing similar problems except McLaren We are facing challenges. At present, we're likely about 0.3 seconds slower than McLaren, yet within an even narrower operational range, making it particularly tough. While closing this 0.3-second gap isn’t out of reach, it needs immediate attention.
If the circuit fits our needs, similar to how it did in Jeddah or Suzuka—Imola and Montreal were manageable as well—then we’re good. However, the optimal conditions only last for an incredibly short period.
