Dutch Grand Prix 2026 Upgrades: Reported Changes for Every F1 Team

The Formula One summer break has ended, and we're finally racing on Circuit Zandvoort for the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix. It's the final race here in Zandvoort, as they're bidding goodbye to the F1 calendar for good. 

Still, every team in the paddock wants to leave Zandvoort with a bang. Let's look at the reported upgrades that each team is bringing to the final Dutch GP.

With a 72-point lead over Ferrari in the Teams' standings, and Kimi Antonelli leading by 50 points over Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes is aiming to extend their advantage in both championships. Reports say that they're bringing a sizable upgrade package to Zandvoort, but there's still no clear indication as to the exact upgraded components.

After a breakthrough victory in Hungary, McLaren is continuing its development push in Zandvoort. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will benefit from the team's new rear wing and rear brake ducts. This new rear wing might be the Macarena wing that they tested in the Hungaroring.

In second place chasing the top rung of the ladder in both championships, the Prancing Horse is aiming for a victory in the Dutch GP. Ferrari is reportedly bringing a new floor to Zandvoort. It's an evolved package from the one introduced in Barcelona, where Hamilton won his first race as a Ferrari driver. 

Red Bull started the weekend on the right foot, with Max Verstappen finally agreeing on a contract extension. On the track, though, there are no confirmed reports of any Red Bull upgrade package.

With Liam Lawson replacing Isack Hadjar in Red Bull's garage, the Racing Bulls are bringing a familiar face back in the form of Yuki Tsunoda. However, there's also no news about what upgrades the Racing Bulls will bring to Zandvoort.

Alpine is strengthening its bid for midfield glory with several aerodynamic upgrades in Zandvoort. Pierre Gasly already says that the upgrades are looking promising in the simulator. 

Hinting at slow development this season, there are no reports on any Zandvoort-specific upgrades for Haas.

With their upgrades delivering points in the British, Belgian, and Hungarian Grand Prix, Audi might be bringing this successful car setup to Zandvoort. There are no major upgrades reported for Audi.

Williams secured their 2027 pairing with the recent re-signing of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz Jr. However, the team might be reserving its important upgrades for sometime around the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in late September.

Potentially the biggest overall change in the paddock this weekend, Aston Martin will be fitting Honda's upgraded Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). This follows the chassis overhaul they successfully brought to Hungary.

Aside from the news that they replaced Marcin Budkowski with Graeme Lowdon as team principal, there are no reports of any Cadillac upgrades this weekend.
