Red Bull make last-minute change ahead of Dutch GP that will impact Max Verstappen

Red Bull have reportedly made a late change to their cars ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix.

After a four-week-long summer break, the 2025 Formula 1 season will resume at Circuit Zandvoort for the Dutch Grand Prix.

Heading into the 15th race of the campaign, McLaren remain the team to beat.

Currently, Oscar Piastri leads the world championship with 284 points, nine ahead of teammate Lando Norris.

Meanwhile, four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen is third with 187 points.

Ahead of his home race in the Netherlands, it has been reported that Red Bull have made a change to both Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda's cars.

Taking to social media, BBC F1 journalist Andrew Benson said: "Red Bull have a new front wing for the Dutch Grand Prix, a development of the one Max Verstappen used in Belgium for the first time. Both Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda will have the wing for the start of the Zandvoort weekend."

Running a similar spec of the front wing in Belgium, Verstappen came home fourth behind the likes of Charles Leclerc, Norris and Piastri.

However, the Dutchman will be looking for a better result this weekend as he looks to win his home race.

Last season in Zandvoort, Verstappen was beaten to the chequered flag by title rival Norris, who finished more than 20 seconds ahead of the 27-year-old.

Speaking ahead of the race weekend, Verstappen played down Red Bull's chances of winning.

He said: "I don't think this is going to be our best track in the remainder of the calendar. But then again, there might be some [wet] weather coming in as well. That always creates a bit of chaos so we just need to see what happens.

"I would say naturally the more higher-speed corners in the layout, that should be a bit better for us. The low-speed and medium-speed are probably a little bit more difficult."

Verstappen added: "We'll just try to make the best of it every single race we can. [We'll] try to see if there are opportunities and try to learn more about the car.

"Of course next year will be very different with the car but I’m still very curious also to understand the current car a bit more and where we can find a bit of performance to make it a bit easier for ourselves."
