F1's midfield fighters keep the updates coming

Haas has made an unprecedented start to its F1 career, unfortunately Esteban Gutierrez has had some bad luck but he can take solace in Romain Grosjean's solid performances in the opening rounds.

However, China and Russia proved more challenging, not only because the mandated tyre pressures issued by Pirelli took its toll but set-up choices made to chase performance at the front-limited Shanghai circuit also sent them down a difficult cul-de-sac.

Undeterred by these issues, changes made to the VF16's front wing in the last few races have been matched at the rear of the car in Barcelona.

   

At the base of the endplate the strakes which are used to assist the diffuser have been amended too, with three small strakes (highlighted in green) added at the front of the endplate to enhance the performance of those after them.
