Every F1 team's tech upgrades for the Monaco GP

The Monaco Grand Prix has drawn a surprising 30 tech upgrades across the entire Formula 1 grid, with teams focusing on low-speed corner performance and cooling adaptations for the tight street circuit.

Why it matters:

Monaco is a unique track where even minor aerodynamic gains can decisively impact qualifying and race positions. Teams have introduced common solutions, particularly winglets on rear wings and redesigned front suspension fairings, to improve airflow and handling in slow-speed corners.

The details:

• McLaren brought the most upgrades (6), including a rear wing winglet, tweaked front suspension fairings for high steer angles, revised rear suspension and beam wing, and a diffuser 'stay' for robustness.
• Red Bull (4 upgrades) added a distinctive squirrel-shaped winglet, new brake cooling ducts, opened-up sidepod exits, and front suspension changes similar to McLaren's.
• Audi (4 upgrades) removed straight-mode actuators (unused this weekend), added a small winglet, a unique rear-view mirror shaping airflow to sidepods, and new rollhoop/engine cover for cooling.
• Ferrari (3 upgrades) brought typical front suspension tweaks plus aero-load generating devices for the floor and diffuser.
• Aston Martin and Haas each added 3 upgrades, with Aston Martin focusing on an exhaust wing and cooling louvres, while Haas continued from its Canada package.
• Racing Bulls, Williams each contributed 2 upgrades, mostly front suspension tweaks and rear wing modifications.
• Alpine, Cadillac, and Mercedes each opted for a single winglet on the rear wing, highlighting the gap in upgrade complexity between front and back of the grid.

What's next:

These upgrades are tailored specifically for Monaco's unique demands, but many components—such as suspension changes and winglets—may carry over to future races. The performance impact will be visible in qualifying and the race, where overtaking is rare and track position is king.
