After clinching the P1 by just over 2 seconds, it is clear the Red Bull is no longer the top dog of F1. Other teams have closed the margin thanks to rapid upgrades and clever wing designs.

MERCEDES-AMG PETRONAS FORMULA ONE TEAM
| Component | Difference Compared To Old Part | Purpose/How It Works. |
| Beam Wing | Decambered beam wing elements | Reducing the beam wing element camber reduces load both locally and on the floor, resulting in less downforce and drag. |
SCUDERIA FERRARI
| Component | Difference Compared To Old Part | Purpose/How It Works. |
| Cooling Louvres | Addition of extra cooling louvres panel | In anticipation of possible high ambient temperatures over the race week-end in Austria, an extra louvre option has be defined on the engine cover, increasing mass flow rate capacity but at an expense of aerodynamic efficiency |
MCLAREN FORMULA 1 TEAM
| Component | Difference Compared To Old Part | Purpose/How It Works. |
| Front Wing | New Front Wing geometry | The new Front Wing geometry improves flow conditioning in conjunction with the updated Front Suspension geometry throughout various conditions resulting in improved aerodynamic load. |
| Front Suspension | Updated Front Suspension | The new Front Suspension is designed around the new Front Wing geometry aimed at maximizing the improved flow characteristics introduced with it. |

| Rear Corner | The configuration of the winglets on the rear drum has been revised | The winglets on the rear brake drum face generate load and help manage the flow at the back of the car. This update improves the performance of the flow conditioning elements |
STAKE F1 TEAM KICK SAUBER
| Component | Difference Compared To Old Part | Purpose/How It Works. |
| Beam Wing | The new lower rear wing is our first single element lower rear wing of the season. | The new lower rear wing has been introduced for the upcoming sprint weekend in Austria. The single element wing offers a small reduction in drag and will improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the car overall, in keeping with the requirements of the Austrian circuit and ones similar. |
Surprisingly Red Bull has not upgraded anything. Makes sense as they had a big upgrade package last week and Austria is their home soil on which they won multiple times in the past. Haas, Williams, Alpine and AMR has also decided to skip the upgrades for 2024 Austrian GP.
