Audi has brought a sizeable upgrade package here and Racing Bulls is always a threat, but Alpine has started the weekend as the midfield car to beat - at least in Gasly's hands. - Jack Benyon

On a weekend where it has brought a significant upgrade package to Baku, Audi had two cars out in Q1 for the first time this year - a nightmare for a team that has regularly challenged to lead the midfield this season.

Revised Engine Cover and Coke Line The engine cover and coke line have been revised in conjunction with the new sidepod inlet enhancing the flow conditioning downstream.

Revised Sidepod Inlet Shape The sidepod inlet has been revised aiming at improved flow conditioning towards the rear of the car for improved aerodynamic performance.

Alternative Sidepod Shape An alternative sidepod shape is available as an option for the aforementioned bodywork, resulting in a change of resultant aerodynamic properties.

Revised Floor Edge Shape The flow conditioning changes from the bodywork are utilised by a revised floor edge design, resulting in improved aerodynamic performance.

Revised Diffuser Layout In conjunction with the floor edge, the diffuser has been revised, aiming at extracting more aerodynamic performance from the new flow topology.

Alternative Straight Line Mode Flap Position The medium isochronal rear wing has been modified to deploy the flap to an alternative position in straight line mode, resulting in a larger reduction in drag.

New Louvre Layout

As part of the new bodywork package, cooling louvre layout and position have been altered for maximum aerodynamic performance at various cooling levels.

Revised Rear Suspension Fairings The changes in upstream aerodynamic flow conditions incentivise a modification to the rear suspension fairings to maximise aerodynamic performance.

Revised split line to the floor Accompanying the new floor, the sidepod has been revised with a new junction or split line to the floor, to supplement the floor changes yielding more local load.

Revised floor and diffuser geometries.

The realisation of development iterations sees a new floor geometry with subtle changes within the permitted geometry to extract more local load whilst maintaining flow stability.

Revised to suit the sidepod To blend the new sidepod to existing surrounding geometry, the cooling louvres have been revised whilst maintaining the range of cooling levels offered previously.

Revised halo fairing geometry A small change to revise a turning vane on the fairing to better serve downstream components, the flow stability and therefore load generation.

Revised mirror geometry Also accompanying the floor and sidepod, the mirror assembly geometry has been revised to aid the downstream conditioning and supplement the local load increase.

A change in suspension cladding orientation. To suit the new onset flow, the surfaces on the rear suspension have been realigned to offer additional performance in the rear corner.

A revised Tail geometry has been introduced to suit the new Floor update. The new surfaces work together with the new floor to generate increased performance locally around the RIS.

The Rear Brake Duct furniture has been modified with new leading edge features. The previously described geometry changes have unlocked a new flow field opportunity in the rear corner and we have been able to extract additional performance in this region by retuning these devices.

Reprofiled surfaces have been applied to the Front Brake Duct flow conditioning devices.

The forward and rearward regions of the Front Wheel Bodywork have been updated to offer both improved interaction with the Front Wing and an improved downstream flow field with the rest of the car.

An updated Floor Bodywork Assembly has been introduced, including new Floor Leading Edge devices, Floor Body and Floor Corner geometry. We have modified the forward and outboard regions of the floor to extract more performance both locally and across the main underfloor surfaces.

"This weekend we have quite a big upgrade to the brake cooling," said Bottas. "So, we're going to have much more airflow through the brakes - which has been the main cause of stoppage this year with the car.

Revised suspension fairing surfaces

The front suspension fairing surfaces have been updated to retain compatibility with the updated front corner and brake duct geometry

Updated brake cooling inlet and exit duct profiles The front corner geometry has been revised to increase the available brake cooling capacity, whilst maintaining flow quality to the rear of the car

Revised winglet lower edge geometry The profile of the lower shedding edge of the rear diffuser winglet has been updated to increase local aerodynamic load across the operating envelope of the car

New brake duct and front lip Working in conjunction with the new front wing, the front corner & suspension updates help manage the flow downstream and around the car, allowing the floor to perform effectively.

Profile changes to suspension legs

New front wing assembly The new front wing geometry helps establish a clean flow field, which leads to improved performance from the components downstream of it.

A significant Mercedes aerodynamic update is coming for the next race in Malaysia, with which Russell said "we're hoping to make a bigger step to the rest of the field".
