The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League made significant changes to their cars for the Spanish Grand Prix. Red Bull modified the design of their radiator inlets to increase air pressure and reduce aerodynamic damage. This resulted in adjustments to the sides of the engine cover and the floor. Additionally, the lower rear wing was extended to improve load distribution. Ferrari, on the other hand, introduced a new rear wing and lower wing that offer a wide range of effectiveness during lateral movement. They also enhanced the bottom of the sidepod and the cutout of the drinks bottle to increase aerodynamic pressure at the rear of the car. The front suspension fairings of the AMR24 were modified to improve airflow interaction, and there were minor changes to the aerodynamic devices on the rear brake ducts. Furthermore, the engine cover and upper profile of the sidepod were redesigned to enhance flow to the rear wing. This involved reshaping the radiator inlet edge. The package also includes a new floor, adjustments to the front floor height, and changes to the alignment and geometry of the inlet fence. Finally, there is a new rear wing that integrates with the change in the single-pillar layout and updated front brake ducts. No updates have been reported for Mercedes, McLaren, Williams, and Alpine.
