Red Bull Racing is working aggressively to reduce the weight of its car, aiming to reach the official Formula 1 minimum weight limit by the Austrian Grand Prix.
The team has identified that their current chassis is slightly overweight, which is costing them valuable lap time against their closest rivals on the grid.
Engineers are focusing on introducing lighter aerodynamic components and optimizing internal parts to shed the necessary grams without sacrificing structural reliability.
Hitting the weight target in Austria is seen as a strategic move, as the circuit’s high-speed nature makes weight efficiency a critical factor for performance.
Despite the technical challenge, the team remains confident that the upcoming upgrade package will bring the car into the ideal performance window.
This weight reduction effort is part of a continuous development cycle intended to maintain their championship lead throughout the 2026 season.
